Fodzyme

[StevieP.]

Has anyone tried Fodzyme or does anyone have problems with fructans? I feel like I do! Used to be able to eat salads everyday, fruits and vegetables. Seems I can’t anymore! Considering trying this! Any info is gladly appreciated!

It might be worth a try to see if that is causing you issues. I've not tried it, but don't have the same issues with fruits and vegetables.

I went on an elimination diet last summer. I’m reacting to so many different things but a main thing is night shades. I can handle some lectins.  I suggest keeping a good journal for symptoms. It can take up to three days to feel a reaction. I leaned that from the dietician I saw.

Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months.

Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

I had an Elisa blood test for 90 Antigens run looking at IgG4 and there were 23 foods on the list that I reacted to.  Some reactions were mild, some moderate and some severe.  My yeast numbers were off the charts so they also did traditional allergy testing for IgE on both brewers and bakers yeast,  They came back super positive, so all yeast is out. 

The other 21 foods were eliminated from my diet for about 2 years to give my overtaxed immune system time to calm down once on the gluten-free and Casein Free diet.  I added them back one at a time, one serving per day every other day and then had to keep track of pulse, BP, rashes, digestive issues etc.  Then I had to wait 2 weeks before trying another food.  I was able to put back everything except blueberries, oysters, cranberries, dairy, vanilla (I have to use the fake stuff) manufactured citric acid (because it is grown on aspergillus), clams, chocolate, black tea and cinnamon.  All cause a rise in my pulse within hours and BP is higher the next day.  Vanilla, chocolate, blueberries and cranberries also caused hives and dairy products gave me diarrhea within hours, every single time.  

Once I accepted my fate, I felt so much better.  Lemon, orange, peach and strawberry became my dessert flavors and I really no longer miss the chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon.  

Once I stopped cheating I was fine and

I so appreciate you talking about this. Honestly I’m so sick the most part of the last 15 years, I’m going to cross reference your list with my own. Celiac since 24 yrs old diagnosed in 1997. I just saw a specific celiac GI specialist at the celiac disease center in Chicago and when I told her all the food reactions I was having she said she believed me but there was no clinical evidence to support my reactions(I felt so unseen, she recommended I see a gut psychologist, what the heck). I react with severe body aches to bloating and dizziness to exhaustion:  most lectins except berries and low lectin veg, no eggs, no nightshade veg, no dairy, all carbohydrates including no gluten-free carbs or grains, though a little coconut flour seems ok now, need to test other non grains, certain alcohols that say gluten-free but looking into their process further I get horribly sick if distilled through a gluten grain example Costco vodka….. Because I had an upper and lower GI in 1997(I was 24 and 84#s) and my GI doc came back with celiac disease, this new doc suggested I may not be a celiac. Is running some blood test. Omg. I can’t even. I’m so beyond frustrated.

@DebD5 it sounds like you are in the super sensitive celiac disease zone--and if so your reactions are real, and not psychological, as your doctor implied.  It's also possible you have other dietary triggers so be sure to look at that article in my last post in this thread.
