Baking With Restrictions

I've never baked in my life until last week and now I'm loving all my little "creations". Surprisingly, everything's turning out really good. I'm not picky at all so I'm not the best critic but everyone else seems to like my baking too. I think they seriously like the stuff...it actually gets gobbled up. :blink:

Today I'm starting my elimination diet and I'm basically eliminating everything cuz I'm tired of trying to figure out whats causing reactions. I'm eliminating dairy, eggs, soy, nuts, yeast and all salicylates (which is really hard) on top of being gluten-free. I didn't think it would be possible to actually bake without any of the "main" ingredients. I was making some super yummy buttermilk pancakes but I figured they definately wouldnt be half as good w/out the buttermilk. I tried it out today...they are now "rice milk pancakes" from home-made rice-milk (no salicylates). I also substituted the egg and the butter with whatever I could think of.

I thought it was pretty funny that here I am baking with ALL these restrictions after never having baked anything previously and believe it or not the pancakes were GOOD! They didnt even taste different to me. This baking stuff is really pretty easy and I'm excited that I can still pack on the pounds with all the baked goodies while I'm on the elimination diet.

Just hope I don't get intolerant to rice. That would suck!!! :o

Rachel,

I'm so glad your having sucess with your baking!! After my dd was gluten-free for a few months we discovered she had several food allergies. I never thought I could cook without dairy, soy, eggs, etc. but now it's no big deal. :lol:

You mentioned that you're going yeast free. My dd and I did the candida diet for many months before going gluten-free. Now I've found that I can tolerate small amounts of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar. I add a teaspoon of the vinegar to my rice milk to make fake buttermilk. I love using rice milk in place of cows milk.

I've wondered what we would do if we started reacting to rice....I guess we would have to master baking with sorgum or some other fun flour!! :lol:

btw...I made mini pizzas this weekend and they're dairy and egg free. I found that a small pizza was just enough to satisfy my carb craving. I plan on freezing some this week!

Rachel--It sounds like you really have a knack for baking! Funny it took this to get you to start :P . Anyway, good luck with the new diet--I hope you figure it all out and get to feeling better. From everything you've said, it sounds like you're on the right track!

If you want, we can exchange things via email (I love to bake - and I have a lot of other restrictions with this diet).

My email is laurie_sadowski at hotmail.com ... Or add me to MSN if you want :)

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By Mmoc · Posted

      Hi there any advice welcomed. I have had 4 years of symptoms ranging from immune related anaphylactic symptom sudden onset food allergy to peppers/paprika/chilli/capsicum family derivatives. all these allergies fizzled out and following a food challenge test in hospital I reintroduced them a few months ago. Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.
