Possible Egg Allergy?

Hi,

I've been gluten-free for a couple years now, and have recently been noticing sensitivities to other foods. I had to eliminate soy and most dairy because they caused disgestive problems. But today was something new for me.

I tried a new recipe for cheese meringues (just egg whites, grated cheese, salt and pepper). The cheese I used is one that I can handle, so I don't suspect the cheese. But after eating one meringue (about the size of an apricot), both of my ears went all cottony...like they were suddenly filled with cotton, and there was a sort of ringing in my ears. It has been only about 15 minutes, and my ears still feel strange...like I'm wearing ear muffs. And I can't get them unplugged.

Can anyone who has experienced the gradual sensitization to various food groups tell me if they had a similar experience (or am I just going a little crazy here?)

P.S. a note on eggs: I actually despise eggs and rarely eat them....so I can't really say how I normally react to eggs.

I have noticed a sensitivity to a number of foods since being gluten-free 8 months now. I was fine with rice until recently--it seems to bring on my eczema. Soy and tapioca are other things I can no longer tolerate--those cause stomach pain. Eggs, I have had problems with for years--but not my whole life, probably the last 10 years or so. With eggs, I get the worst nausea about 4 hours after I eat them. It lasts several hours. Worse than gluten--just horrible. Needless to say, I avoid them like the plague! You may be becomming sensitive to them--since you don't eat them too much, you may have not noticed it before. Luckily, you don't like eggs, so it shouldn't be too hard for you to avoid them :)

Hi everyone, just wondering how we really detox our bodies of gluten and become suddenly or gradually sensitive to other things. Is it the damage that never really heals that causes this? I keep hearing these horror stories about more and more sensitivities after getting "gluten Clean" what is going on?

My thought on this.

I think MAYBE we all suffer from "leaky gut syndrome" where we get food allergies(in this case) to many foods because the gut lining has become leaky and is allowing these foods into the system. Look it up online...

I have studied it a bit and this is my theory. If you don't heal the gut lining completely by avoiding these offending foods for a period of time and avoiding any processed foods, coffee, sugar, chocolate which by the way are very irratating to an already sensitive system as celiacs have. Also start taking L-glutamine and other gut healing herbs before your meals. Another HUGEly important supplement is proteolytic enzymes and hydrochloric acid to be taken with meals also. This really helps to keep allergies dampened down too because it helps digest the food better. (you are probably wondering why so many supplements but I think again with our digestive sytems malfunctioning we had best do this all our lives.....

If we have Celiac disease (my thoughts are being presented here and I'm not saying I'm 100% positive :rolleyes: ) and realize that 80% of our immune system is in our gut lining (which is why we are more sensitive to other autoimmune disorders... then the leaky gut thing on top of it......

It is not as much fun to eat such a simple diet of veggies, fish, chicken etc.....but it is really where we need to be especially if you are running into all these other allergies and #1 find a GOOD naturopath with specialty or great understanding of celiac disease and allergies. I have one and I am so thankful.

I was told that all allergies whether to grass or pollen or foods are caused by the digestive/immune system

sorry for the dissertation :rolleyes:

regards mj

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      I had both the genetic genes for celiac. My gastroenologist advised he also took a biopsy during one of my colonoscopies and endoscopy and advised I had celiac disease, along with stomach ulcers from my esophagus stomach down to my small bowel. I was shown the ulcers on the catscan and endoscopy report. I also had polyps in 3 places throughout my large...

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      So, I'm a little confused here. I understand you to say that you have not been officially diagnosed with celiac disease. Is this correct? You have had genetic testing done to check for the potential for developing celiac disease and that was positive. Is this correct? I think you meant to type "gluten sensitivity" but you typed "gluten insensitivity...

I was shown the ulcers on the catscan and endoscopy report.  I also had polyps in 3 places throughout my large bowel. I was on a strict diet for months following.  I am sorry if I didnt define how I was diagnosed with celiac disease.  I am sorry if you think I was misleading you. I also had to pay $150.00 for the genetic testing.

Is this correct?  You have had genetic testing done to check for the potential for developing celiac disease and that was positive. Is this correct? I think you meant to type "gluten sensitivity" but you typed "gluten insensitivity". Just so we are clear about the terminology, there is celiac disease and there is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They are not the same but they have overlapping symptoms. Celiac disease causes damage to the small bowel lining but NCGS does not. NCGS is often referred to in short form as gluten sensitivity. However, people often use the terms celiac disease and gluten sensitivity interchangeably so it can be unclear which disease they are referring to. Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has one or both of  the genes that have been most strongly connected with the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develops active celiac disease. This makes the genetic test useful for ruling out celiac disease but not for diagnosing it. A colonoscopy cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease because it doesn't permit the scope to go up into the small bowel where celiac disease does the damage. They use an endoscopy ("upper GI) for checking the small bowel lining for celiac damage.

I have several yrs of not knowing my celiac condition as docs would not do the test. After looking on the internet about my sufferings I insisted on the gene trsting which showed positive for gluten insensitivity and a biopsy on my next colonoscopy that also showed positive which could not help the damage done to my small bowel. So I very rarely have a glass of wine

      @barb simkin, are you sure the chocolate products are gluten-free and not "manufactured on equipment that also handles wheat products and tree nuts", i.e., cross-contamination? And what kind of alcoholic beverages are we talking about? Most beers are made from gluten-containing grains. Just checking.
