Allergic to Almost all Food - Eating Meat....Support?!

Hi.  I've been eating a limited diet since 2007 when I first had allergic reactions to foods and my body went "hyper sensitive", I went gluten-free fully in 2009 and have been living a great life by eating healthy and gluten-free.  About 6 months ago I had 10 reactions in a two month time frame, went on an even cleaner diet, and was good for two months, and then it happened again. Plus I had a reaction to dye free Benadryl. I saw two different functional medicine doctors and signed on with one of them. He took my labs and told me my yeast levels are very high, I have leaky gut and other than that I should be an easy fix because my thyroid and other numbers were good. Well adrenal fatigue I have too of course. (:  Last week he put me on Paleo Protein and L-Glutamine. Both I'd tried the week before in small amounts and did okay with. Well last week Tuesday I reacted to the Paleo Protein and it really stirred up something in me, because Wed I had a reaction to one bite of eggplant and then bruseel sprouts later in the day and they've always been fine. Thursday morning Turkey got stuck in my throat and I felt off from that. So I went back to chicken, beef and water and kept taking the L-Glutamine. Friday I felt funky and so Saturday I stopped talking the L-Glutamine and had chicken and bison. Felt great for the first day. Today I tried just a little bit of the l-glutamine in water again and my throat started to clench and my face felt full. Then my lips felt numb.  So my first question is....what do you guys take other than Benadryl if you're having a stronger reaction??? I have HistDAO histamine blocker, but if I need more I don't know what to take.  Next....help! those of you that are down to only meat and water too, what is working for you???  Thirdly, how off is my body to have a reaction to L-Glutamine? I just can't do anything man-made. Can anyone relate to any of this??

I suggest researching Mast Cell Activation Syndrome or EOE.

 Also, Benadryl crosses the blood brain barrier and there have been long-term complications.  Talk to your doctor about using  another antihistamine.  If your reactions have been anaphylactic, you should have an epi pen.  I hope you feel better soon!

The L-Glutamine may have gluten in it.  Try drinking bone broth daily instead.

Your getting plenty of proteins for once and I would drop the L-glutamine supplement what brand is it? Paleo Protein as in the brand? They were not gluten free last I checked, I got sick from it 2 years ago or so when they changed to a non dedicated facility.

Thanks everyone!  The L-Glutamine is from Nutri-Dyne and the Paleo Protein is from Dynamic and is sold by Nutri-Dyne. Is this the brand you got sick from?

It won't let me attach a picture. It's the Pure Beef Protein Isolate French Vanilla with vanilla seeds in the front.

Yours looks safe I was using paleo pro back then and the company changed from gluten free to manufactured in the same facility as.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      Hi Theresa,  A few of my friends have your same story. You may be right about barley, etc.  18 years ago at a football game while clapping, suddenly my 4th finger was in agony.  It looked like a vein had burst. It was blue for a couple hours, then disappeared.  Finally realized it happened every time when drinking beer.  It's occurred several times over the years when opening a jar, lifting something that was a bit heavy, holding on to tight to something.  Immediate icing stops the pain and discoloration.  Now avoiding wheat in the US, it rarely happens.  Thanks for the reminder.  Will have Entero Labs run another test. Unfortunately they've relocated to Switzerland/Greece.

      Blood results

      The EMA test is an old and less sensitive test for anti-tTG2 antibodies. It relies on a technician using a microscope to check for fluorescence of a labelled substrate (typically monkey oesophagus or human umbilicus), giving a simple positive/negative result. It is similar to running a standard anti-tTG2 test but with a high cut-off, making it more specific but less sensitive. Transient rises in tTG2 can be caused by e.g. viral infections and inflammation. Very high levels of anti-tTG2 (>x10 standard range) are almost certainly coeliac disease but moderately raised levels can have several causes apart from coeliac disease. Other food allergies can cause villi blunting but that is much rarer than coeliac disease or other non-coeliac causes. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.
