Help! Will The Secondary Allergies Go Away?

howdy all,

i'm new to the forum, but only out of ignorance- i wish i had known about this forum 5 or 6 years ago...

i'm recovering from a very advanced case of celiac, and i'm taking it one day at a time. i suppose i'm still somehow hopeful, but i've got some fear about my diet...

my celiac led to a very bad case of "leaky gut syndrome" where i started building antibodies to all the stuff that would have been fine to eat earlier in the progression of celiac...

without going into details, i'm now "allergic" to quite a bit...

ARE THESE ALLERGIES PERMANENT??????

i remember hearing once that you can retrain your body to accept former allergens...?

i'm biting my nails...

Hi B,

I am also struggling with Leaky Gut right now and am intolerant / sensitive to just about everything I put in my mouth.

From what I understand though, a lot of these sensitivites will clear up as the gut heals. Very frustrating I know but hang in there!

Have you tried taking L-Glutamine? I have noticed a bit of an improvement since I started taking it.

Glad you found this forum, its an absolute Godsend!

There are no definit answers, but in my experence of reading psots here and talking wtih ppl, most ppl most of teh time will lose many of thier "allergies" once thier gut heals. It could take years though.... :(

I hear ya. I've just discovered I had Celiac in my forties so I know about leaky gut. The last biofeedback testing I had showed many sensitivities I didn't know about, but certainly explained why my eyes would get red and wattery after almost every meal.

I'm dealing with it through a rotational diet - trying to eat most foods just once every four days. So I have, say rice on Monday and don't have it again until Thursday or Friday.

Another thing that's really helped is taking lots of Vit C or Quercetin, especially having it with foods I normally react to.

I've been doing this for just over a month and last night I ate cheese and my eyes didn't even get red!! This is amazing - cheese is my biggest sensitivity by far (well, after wheat). This was just a treat for Oscar night, I don't intend to eat it all the time, but it was one of the first rays of hope I've had in a long time that something is working. Good luck to you. Care

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
