Food allergies


Nelly

Recommended Posts

Nelly Rookie

I am 44 yrs old with celiac diagnosed in March 2015. I am allergic to soya ,corn, yeast, milk and rice. These food allergies were diagnosed 17 Years back. Whenever I eat them my rashes become irritated feel the Urge to scratch them and sometimes they bleed also And the area turns a bit darker and the skins looks too dry . Doctors say it's more like eczema and it might not be celiac related. Even after going gluten free this allergy hasn't gotten better. Any suggestions?

Not everything is related to Celiac.  :D  it is possible to have other medical conditions at the same time.  Going gluten free and treating Celiac won't make your allergies go away.  .

I was listening to someone a few weeks back talking about having a very long lasting rash that didn't go away even though she had a really long list of foods she was avoiding. It turned out that one of the few foods she wasn't avoiding was eggs, but when she cut them out of her diet her rash went away in just days. Based on her story, you might try eliminating eggs for a week or two to see if it makes a difference. Eggs are one of the top 8 allergens.

Or it could be something else...

Hi, use coconut oil as a hand lotion. It can help with itching and healing.

I have additional allergies, so eliminating gluten is not related to these. I am allergic to dairy, soy, chocolate, tea (?? whoever heard of this?), now realizing lately that my throat closes with honeydew melon and cranberries. the list seems to grow with time. so one thing has nothing to do with the other

For those saying they have allergies, I do hope you have Epi pens as they are they FIRST and ONLY way to stop an actual anaphylactic reaction.

I have alleriges, have an epi pen. up till this new thing with my throat closing with melon, the only symptoms I had were GI. but with this new one, I'm glad I have the epi pen 

 

good point

It might be some kind of hyper-sensitivity caused by another food intolerance. Cereals can sometimes make my skin dry and itchy which then makes me sensitive to everything else.

      I don't know of a connection. Lots of people who don't have celiac disease/gluten issues get shingles.

      I’m 43, just newly diagnosed with a horrible case of shingles last week . They are all over my face , around my eye, ear , all in my scalp. Lymph nodes are a mess. Ear is a mess. My eye is hurting and sensitive. Pain has been a 10/10+ daily. Taking Motrin and Tylenol around the clock. I AM MISERABLE. The pain is unrelenting. I just want to cry.   But Developing shingles has me a bit concerned about my immune system which also has me wondering about celiac and if there’s a connection to celiac / gluten and shingles; particularly since I haven't been 💯 gluten free because of all the confusing test results and doctors advice etc., is there a connection here? I’ve never had shingles and the gluten/ celiac  roller coaster has been ongoing for a while but I’ve had gluten off and on the last year bc of all the confusion

      There were some interesting talks, particularly Prof Ludvig Stollid's talk on therapeutics for coeliac disease.    https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRcl2mPE0WdigRtJPvylUJbkCx263KF_t

      Thank you @trents for letting me know you experience something similar thanks @knitty kitty for your response and resources.  I will be following up with my doctor about these results and I’ll read the articles you sent. Thanks - I really appreciate you all.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!
