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.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
