Additional Food Intolerences

So I've noticed the last 3 Saturdays I've had "d" at night (each Sat. night is worse then the last) and all 3 Saturday's I've had Smiley Fries either at lunch or dinner. If I had Smiley fries for dinner, would big "D" hit an hour later? Is it something I had earlier today, or even yesterday?

How fast -or slow- do things move through you? How do you know when what you ate is causing a reaction?

My food intolerances usually occur within 2-6 hours, but sometimes it can be a little longer for me. It does make it kind of tough to figure out sometimes, especially if it occurs in the evening or later at night. It could be lunch, snack or dinner. I tend to eat very much on the safe side for now, though, so that does make it easier for me. It took me a long time to figure out my other food intolerances and I stay very clear of those things now.

Maybe you could try repeating the same exact diet next Saturday, but leave out the Smiley fries? Then if you are fine, reintroduce them the next week and see what happens?

Good luck...I know how frustrating it is. It is not bad enough that we have to stay clear of gluten, but sometimes many other things.

Reactions are differnt for everyone. I usually get brain fog within a few hours and then my other symptoms progress from there. I would avoid the fries for awhile and them eat them on a day when you know that everything you ate was 100% safe.

I get a gluten-speed reaction for casein (within a minute the "I feel like I'm dreaming" brain fog kicks in). Soy gives me stomach issues within about 10 mins. Yeast gives me slight brain fog within minutes, but that turns to gluten-esque brain fog the following day. I highly expect these reactions to change (speed up) with each exposure. The body certainly seems to get more sensitive the more problem foods you unmask.

The strongest intolerance I have seems to be eggs. 4 hours after eating them, I get horrible nausea that lasts for several more hours. I have other intolerances, those also come on after a few hours, but are not as strong.

It depends on which food. A big one for me is dairy. I can eat it fine in the moment w/o much issue...but the next day and for a week or two I get constipated and have to jump start my system. Also realized recently...I used to get brain fog a lot, and since I've given up dairy I haven't had it once. I'd say there is a good chance that dairy was the cause of it for me.

My doctor says you can have reactions up to 3 days laters.

I have multiple food allergies and food intolerances. Yesterday I had one hard boiled Easter egg (allergic to the whites) and reacted within 15 minutes. First I had severe stomach pains, then my breathing went into asthma. I should have gotten my Epi-Pen when the breathing happened, but I was just to sick to try and remember which purse it was in. 10 minutes later I threw up and then slowly my breathing went back to normal. I think what happened is that I had also had an egg 3 days before and that was more then I could take. I eat bread with no noticable problems, but probably because the eggs are divided over many slices, I am only getting a small amount. Never will I have a whole egg again.

Diary hits me in less then 30 mins, often less then 10, but hangs on for a week or 2.

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.

      here are the lab ranges.  Normal ranges for tissue transglutaminase are: <15.0 Antibody not detected > or = 15.0 Antibody detected normal for endomysial antibody is < 1.5. So she is barely positive but still positive.
