Is It Possible To Create New Food Intolerances

Well, I have been sick on and off since last Thursday since I got glutened at a buffet. Well, I thought I was on my way to heatlh yesterday because I wasn't eating ANYTHING processed, only whole natural foods.

Well, I had a banana and apple in the morning, chicken (plain-cooked myself) for lunch with carrots and an orange and for dinner we went to my fiance's parent's house for our Christmas with them. His Mom knows all about my problems and is very careful. She also cooked for me for Thanksgiving and I had no problems. Well, I had ham, sliced potatos, a salad with vinager and oil for dressing and berries for dessert. Oh and tea with my dessert- herbal Peach and spice tea. Then when I got home, I had some celery with peanut butter (just peanuts and salt). But before I ate that, I noticed that my left arm was hurting. Like the skin was (actually still is) burning, underneath. And it's weak. It goes from my elbow to my hand but it's only on the inside of my arm. So that was before I had the celery.....(and I want to add that when I woke up and most of the day yesterday, I felt really really good. No symptoms at all!)

Then this morning I woke up with THE WORST STOMACH PAINS and they keep coming and going still. It also hurt really bad to pee this morning, but it went away after I drank some water. My back is also achy and my stomach is HUGE. And my arm still "burns."

So, has anyone had this before? Especially the arm thing. And none of these foods ever bothered me before, so why did I get so sick from my food yesterday? Every little second I think I'm better, IT COMES BACK! Any advice?

I had an apple, some rice cakes, a potato and veggies today so far. I'm hungry but I'm so scared to eat! Help!

I continued to find other food intolerances after I went gluten-free - but that is just me. Every now and then I try some of them again, just to see and still bad.

My husband was glutened about 2 weeks ago now and he is still having stomach pains and feeling bad. He has had a few good days also where we thought he was just about over it and then he gets hit with waves of nausea (and sometimes that is staying for hours), back and forth w/ D & C, stomach cramps that wake him up or double him over, and a lot of burping. Sorry I can't help with the arm thing but maybe its normal to have a few good days while getting over being glutened. Hope your feeling better soon.

I definitely have good and bad days after getting glutened, and the worst day for me seems to often be the 7th for some odd reason. :blink: I've more than once thought that I was glutened again, then I realize that it's exactly a week from my glutening, and then the day after that (8th day) I'm usually feeling alot better.

Another possibility I could imagine is that because you were recently glutened, that you react to some food that you normally wouldn't react so strongly to.

I hope you feel better soon, stomach cramps really suck. :(

I became intolerant to dairy around the same time that I became intolerant to gluten. I believe that I am intolerant to casein, the milk protein. However, I have never been officially tested for a casein intolerance. I'm just going by my own observations.

I agree with this-- after i am glutened, the following week can be widely unpredictable and i will react to foods that i know i dont have problems with. So dont freak out, wait a wk and reintroduce those foods and see how you feel. I know for a fact that i am not sensitive to any other foods, but everything makes me sick after im glutened, even liquids. Feel better!

Thanks everyone.

Hmmm.....that's pretty interesting........because on Sunday I was feeling pretty darn good! It's so frusterating when you think it's over and then BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM, it hits you again 10 TIMES WORSE! I guess I just really have to get used to everything and how my body reacts when I get glutened. I'm living on applesauce for now though. My stomach seems a lot better today because I went to the bathroom 2 times already............hopefully getting out whatever it was that bothered me!

I'm wondering if your tea was gluten free--I know that some of the Celestrial Season teas have a note on them that they are not gluten free. I developed a soy intolerance about 3 yrs after being gluten-free and then a corn intolerance almost 3 1/2 yrs into being gluten-free. Around the time I was 4 yrs gluten-free, I found I can no longer have tomatoes in any form. So, yup--you can develop other intolerances at any time. Deb

I hope you feel better soon. I do think you could still be having a reaction from the time you were glutened. I know the second week of being glutened I am surprised by how bad I feel.

Thanks. Yeah, it's just so odd to me that I could feel fine and then out of nowhere again, I am sicker than ever! I'm scared to eat! I am feeling better today, but I'm scared to mess it up. All I've had is applesauce and 2 bananas.

Hi Dani

Don't be too hard on yourself - remember that your intestines are still healing. Imagine that you'd cut yourself. Then you use a sun lotion or handwashing soap that you've always used and it stings. Our insides can be the same. Once they're sore and inflamed, things that don't normally hurt, hurt. We find this easier to accept on the outside of our bodies because we can see the damage and watch it heal. We can't see what's on the inside.

Two things have happened to me recently which are similar to your experience. Firstly I got glutened, and everything hurt for about three days. I knew what had happened and was able to accept it. The second thing was a feeling of being glutened on and off for about a fortnight, which is one of the reasons that I hit these message boards again. I felt dreadful - up at 2.30 in the morning with such an achy tummy I couldn't sleep. I felt constantly nauseous as if I had bad indigestion, and I lived on Gluten-free rolls and little else for about three days. I went through all of my regular foodstuffs but couldn't work out where the gluten was coming from. Finally my husband told me that he'd been feeling rough with the same symptoms for about two weeks, and my daughter told me that she had a tummy ache, as did half the kids in our area. That's right - I had a bug of some sort - a virus or something. We're so quick to blame ourselves and our condition when sometimes the answer is not all about us. We're all beginning to feel better now, although I think I was hit worst of all because there's already damage inside.

The other thing to say is that you mention two very common allergens - peanuts and celery. These are things that irritate the best of people. Here in the UK legislation was passed last month to make food manufacturers list all the common allergens contained in their food on the label. Celery and peanuts are frequently listed, as are things like sesame seeds, soya, milk and milk products, nuts and of course, gluten. If you're feeling rough it might be worth steering clear of anything that commonly causes irritation in other people for a while until you're feeling better, then you can reintroduce them again one at a time. You wouldn't offer someone with diahorea a curry even though it might normally be their favourite food! Other irritants are any of the plants related to deadly nightshade (no surprise really as it's horribly poisonous). Think of what the flower looks like if you've ever seen a tomato plant, potato plant, pepper (capsicum) or aubergine (eggplant) plant - they're of the same family and many people can't tolerate them. There are plenty of delicious, gentle things that you can eat and enjoy - treat yourself!

Above all, remember that wise nurse, and be kind to yourself. You'll be fine soon - be gentle on yourself and allow your body to heal as you get to know it and its funny quirks. It's like a small child - some things work and some things don't - your job is to watch your body, nurture it and get to know it. Everything will be great soon.

Take care,

Rachel.

CELERY?? I've never heard it mentioned before as problematic!!!

I'm pretty sure you can acquire allergies/intolerances once you've been diagnosed. This would be due to a decreased variety of food--if you eat the same thing over and over again, you're more likely to develop allergies to those foods. The other thing is, you might realize them once celiac symptoms are away. I just began to realize a few months ago that too much dairy bothered me... I don't really have to restrict, but just avoid eating huge quantities of it

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
