Multiple food intolerances and antibiotics

Diagnosed about 2007 I have multi food intolerances incl dairy, eggs, soya, chocolate, alcohol also including perfumes and aromas. All give me bad headaches and fatigue. Doctors are of little help here in U.K. 

Ever since I was diagnosed I have suffered from floating stools. However recently I have had to take antibiotics for a bladder infection. One of the side effects of these antibiotics is that my stools are no longer floating. Is there a possibility that bad bacteria in my gut have been killed off and some of my Intolerances could go with them? I have been re-populating my gut with good bacteria.

Yes, this is definitely a possibility. I was going to mention that you should likely be taking a good probiotic, but it sounds like you have that covered. It might make sense to also keep a food diary for a while to see if certain foods might be triggering your symptoms.

Thanks Scott - I was hoping someone might say that as it helps my optimistic side. Don’t need a food diary as my diet is so limited any symptoms can easily be traced back to anything “different” that I have introduced. I will give it a few weeks then try introducing something that I know usually causes problems - something important like a glass of Pinot Grigio! Thanks.

      Might want to see a rheumatologist also, as if this is an autoimmune disease they might be better equipped to to handle and treat. I was finally diagnosed after a biopsy on one of my quads. Condition known as IBM or inclusion body myositis . Good luck  Good luck

      Wends is correct in that for generations the food pyramid chart we were given with carbs at the base is incorrect. The average person gets far too many of their calories from carbs and coincidentally, more calories than they need for good health since carbohydrate rich foods are also calory rich foods. The body can learn to convert protein and fat into energy more efficiently when carbs are withheld. This is the basis of the ketogenic diet and why it works so well. I am not sure I would go full keto for a developing child however. Carbs are not evil. The problem isn't carbs per se but too many carbs.

       In terms of a low carb diet the thing to remember is that it is not a “no carb” diet. Far from it. There are a lot of misconceptions. Real food is the key. Avoiding refined sugars and starches. In the textbook that doctors use it states that “Carbohydrates” are not essential to life, unlike proteins and fats. Glucose on the other hand is essential, yes, and the liver makes and tightly regulates all it needs in the presence of adequate calories from proteins and fats. It’s biochemistry 101.  My personal view is that the NHS advice is out of date. And no wonder the life expectancy and quality of life of people with diabetes down the road is reduced - not to mention the cost to the NHS when complications arise decades after diagnosis because too much insulin to keep numbers in range is like a bandage to cover up while under the surface the damage is still going on. Retinopathy. Peripheral neuropathy. Sorry, don’t want to doom and gloom. But it’s true. The fuel you choose today dictates tomorrow. The information is out there in the scientific papers. It’s a can of worms but there is decades of scientific literature to back up a natural low carb diet. Professor Tim Noakes of Cape Town university went through a three year trial (and won) after a dietitian accused him because he recommended weaning a child on to meat after breastfeeding. They said they needed carbohydrates. He’s a professor of sports and exercise and medical doctor with diabetes. There’s a whole host of Professors and medical doctors and dietitians and medical professionals around the world advocating for real food and essentially a low carb diet. Humans evolved over millennia on real food. None of the modern high carb ultra processed or modern breads of the last century or so. Check out the Public Health Collaboration UK based charity. There’s conference videos online and free info. I think type 1 diabetes was covered a few years ago. Dr David Cavan UK specialist. Professor Knoakes also came out with a great cookery book called Superfood for Superchildren…from toddlers to teens. It is part of the Real Meal Revolution series of healthy eating. It sounds like youre on this already with breastfeeding and eating healthy so good on you! So sorry about the cards your little one has been dealt but with the right education and diet it is totally manageable and there’s no reason not to have stable blood sugars and have a long and happy life without diabetes complications. Same as children diagnosed with coeliac disease, a healthy naturally gluten free diet is the antidote to the gluten poisoning. Sugar and refined starches are toxic to diabetics. With modern technology of blood glucose monitors it’s easy to figure out suitable foods by how different foods effect the blood glucose level. Sorry, the reference of igA deficiency possibility was to Trent’s reply regarding Total igA and “artificially low” positive test. Not the case as the NHS screen total igA. In terms of poo signs. The Guts UK charity has loads of great info.

      Hair loss is also a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.     Peripheral neuropathy, another thiamine insufficiency symptom, can cause a feeling of itchiness on the skin without a rash.
