Why would someone react to foods at certain times of the day and not others?

[Aaron275]

Hi,

I am having a very strange issue that I was hoping someone might be able to shed some light on.

I've noticed that I seem to be reacting to foods at certain times of the day and not at other times. For example, yesterday I ate the following for lunch:

Salmon

Potato

Green beans

Peas

Corn

Carrot

I reacted to one or more of the above foods. This is not what I usually eat for lunch, but here's the thing: I eat this exact meal for dinner at least once a week and I never react to it. This has only happened when I tried eating it for lunch. So what exactly is the problem here?

I've had the same thing happen with cauliflower and broccoli. I can eat those for dinner no problem, but when I tried eating them for lunch I reacted to one or both of them.

The only explanation I can think of is that it's a delayed reaction from something I've eaten earlier in the day?

Any ideas why this might be happening?

Google histamines and mast cell disease.  We run out of antioxidants as the day goes on.

But wouldn't that mean I would be having the problem later in the day instead of earlier?

Did you prepare yourself?  I would s inspect cross contamination.

When you say "react," what exactly do you mean? Is this a gluten reaction? Do you have additional food intolerance issues or allergies? There are many things that can cause reactions, and not all are related to gluten.

I don't know what kind of reaction it is, that's why I'm asking.

The problem I'm having is that I seem to be able to eat foods at certain times of the day and I can tolerate it, but eaten at a different time of day the same food will cause symptoms. It is literally the same food, just eaten at a different time of day. I've gone into more detail in the original post.

I think it would make sense for you to keep a food diary to see if you can find a common link with your reaction and a particular food. From your list, corn stands out as a common issue for many celiacs. Perhaps start by eliminating it for a couple of weeks, then add it back. You could then do this for other foods.

corn bothers me a lot - goes right through me and gives me stomach pain as well as nuts and seeds

Thanks everyone.

I forgot to mention, I do have an intolerance to high histamine foods, so that could mean I am reacting to the green beans and peas, but it wouldn't explain the reaction to cauliflower and broccoli. And again, the reactions only happen some of the time, not all the time, which makes it even more confusing.

I have a theory that my morning coffee is raising my histamine levels and then when I eat more high histamine foods on top of that, it causes a reaction.

A food diary is probably a good idea.

@Aaron, 

Cauliflower and broccoli are members of the Cruciferous family of veggies.  They contain high levels of Sulfites.  Peas are high in Sulfites, too, although they don't belong to this class of veggies.

Here's an interesting article...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4017440/

Since Sulfites are used in many processed foods, you may want to consider eating fresh foods only.  

Check your medications to see if they contain Sulfites.  

I supplemented Molybdenum, as it is needed to process Sulfites out of the body.  

Hope this helps!

P.S. Sulfite Sensitivity can cause hives.

Thanks for this information.

Now that you mention it, I have previously reacted to some packaged foods that had sulfites listed as an allergen.

I don't have hives by the way, the symptoms that I get from reactions are mostly fatigue, depression, brain fog, and upset stomach.

my morning coffee is raising my histamine levels

Do you use milk in your morning coffee? I drink a lot of coffee throughout the day and finally noticed that as the day went on, I put less milk in it so that by bedtime it was practically black. Caused a burning in my gut. Sometimes woke me later and I had to take an Alka Selzer to go back to sleep. Switching to 100% Pasture fed, no grains dairy solved it. Commercial dairy has at least double the omega 6 as grass-fed. Omega 6 is inflammatory and the aspirin in Alka Selzer (original) is anti-inflammatory and the sodium bicarbonate is an antacid. It's been my go-to for 40 years now. The attack on aspirin started when Tylenol started advertising that 9 out of ten hospitals choose Tylenol, in the previous century.
