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 long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
