Does anyone have an allergy to gluten, dairy, AND eggs? I am new to this and am having a hard time. I'm not finding many foods that I can eat that are free of all 3. I love fruits and veggies, but am getting bored with them. And I'm not a big meat or fish eater either, so I'm really limiting myself. Any advice???

Yep! Soy too! I'll try to post some recipes/ideas when I have time tomorrow. I learned to love rice pilaf made with nuts, spices and dried fruit. Cornbread can be made pretty easily in mini muffin tins. Those are the quickest things I can think of now - more later.

OH YEAH! Intolerant to gluten, milk, casien, egg yolks, almonds, and some other weird foods I dont care about. Usually the other foods inolerances go away after being on a gluten-free diet for awhile. I can have eggs, almonds and stuff now just no gluten or milk. I think whne yuor first diagnosed your intestines are so damgaed your allergic to alot of stuff. Going gluten-free repairs! yayy now if only i had time to cook

I have an important question in this reguard. I'm off gluten, and I still get the runs. Is this a 'symptom of recovery' or a sign I'm allergic to something else?

Check out the cookbook, "Cooking Free", by Carol Fenster. It's got tons of recipes with options to make them gluten/dairy/egg-free - and the recipes taste good, too. This is my favourite cookbook; we use it all the time and like it MUCH better than the Gluten Gourmet ones.

I'm gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free. I do eat eggs, but I don't like meat. I cook a lot with lentils. Go to a great health food store or farmer's market and find new fruits and veggies you've never tried before. You also might want to pick up a raw foods cookbook. Might give you some ideas.

Well, I cked out this post b/c your name was Hoosier--and I'm from Indiana. Not sure if that's why you choose that name though!

Anywho, food allergies often come in groups... and a good number of Celiacs have intolerances/allergies to other foods, as well as gluten. Are you having difficulty finding safe products or coming up with menus that are safe for your diet?

How long have you been G.F?Could anything you ate have been 'cross contaminated'?

Do you still eat milk products?

It took my husband a year or more G.F for the diarrhea to stop (still gets it sometimes)

Anything that has been cross contaminated will also trigger 'D'.

Finally ,alot of coeliacs find they can't tolerate any milk or dairy products (for my husband the lactose intolerance only lasted a couple of months) :)

I'm not from Indiana, but I graduated from IU in 2002. I'd love to move back!

I'm just having difficulty coming up with things to eat. It's just been hard finding things to make (other than chicken, rice, and veggies every night, or pasta) that are egg, dairy, and gluten free. I have found egg and gluten free, so I'm on the right track.

Check out the cookbook, "Cooking Free", by Carol Fenster. It's got tons of recipes with options to make them gluten/dairy/egg-free - and the recipes taste good, too. This is my favourite cookbook; we use it all the time and like it MUCH better than the Gluten Gourmet ones.

Thank you! I will order that now!

I'm gluten-free, dairy-free and soy-free. I do eat eggs, but I don't like meat. I cook a lot with lentils. Go to a great health food store or farmer's market and find new fruits and veggies you've never tried before. You also might want to pick up a raw foods cookbook. Might give you some ideas.

Thanks for the advice. I'll start with the farmer's market and try to find something new. Anything besides apples, grapes, and oranges :)

I hear ya! I can't eat gluten, dairy, soy or potatoes! The frustrating part about the potatoes is that potato starch seems to be in every gluten free product on the market today! It is so hard to find things to eat...I'm with ya. Mainly, I just wish it were easier to find something to eat! My local natural foods supermarket has an enormous gluten-free section and I can't eat any of it.

I wish health insurance would pay for a personal chef! :-)

      iron digestibility

      @glucel, There's a strong correlation between thiamine deficiency, hypoxia, and insomnia. Thiamine is needed to help red blood cells carry oxygen. In thiamine deficiency, hypoxia (lack of oxygen in tissues) occurs, and this can result in insomnia. Hypoxia causes systemic inflammation, increases inflammatory markers, and is associated with cardiovascular...

      New Research Reveals How Antibody Genes May Shape the Immune Response in Celiac Disease

      Thanks. Not a big thing, particularly because most likely it is "true" but not yet demonstrated.

      iron digestibility

      Thanks to everybody for your help. I reread the dr's notes from the biopsy procedure and it seems I had worse than atrofied villi. It was termed flattened mucosa. So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation...

      New Research Reveals How Antibody Genes May Shape the Immune Response in Celiac Disease

      Thanks for the thoughtful comment. You are right that the study’s main conclusion was cautious: the researchers found that inherited antibody-gene variants significantly shape the naïve B-cell receptor repertoire, including usage of some gene segments involved in celiac-related antibody responses, but they did not find strong evidence that polymorphisms in...

      Osteoporosis: Does the body start rebuilding bones after starting a gluten-free diet?

      I have osteoporosis and have crushed three vertebrae. I supplement with Lysine, Tryptophan, threonine, calcium, Boron, Vitamins D, A, and K, and the B vitamins (folate, B12, and Thiamine B1 especially for bone health). I tried Fosomax, but it tore up my insides. I prefer the supplements. I feel better and my bones feel stronger. References...

      iron digestibility

      @glucel,  There's a strong correlation between thiamine deficiency, hypoxia, and insomnia.  Thiamine is needed to help red blood cells carry oxygen.  In thiamine deficiency, hypoxia (lack of oxygen in tissues) occurs, and this can result in insomnia. Hypoxia causes systemic inflammation, increases inflammatory markers, and is associated with cardiovascular events.  Curiously, thiamine deficiency is correlated with excessive daytime sleepiness and oversleeping.   I found a combination of Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, magnesium, and L-theanine works very well for inducing sleep.  Sometimes, I add Passion Flower Extract and/or Sweet Melissa.  There's no side effects the next morning with Passion Flower, it just induces sleepiness.  Sweet Melissa is groovy, and has anti-inflammatory effects on the digestive system.   I prefer to take 250 mg Benfotiamine and 100 mg Thiamine TTFD in the mornings and another dose of Benfotiamine at lunch.  I try not to take any thiamine after four p.m. because it keeps my brain so energized and wanting to think... Oh, I do take a combination of another form of thiamine (sulbutiamine), Pyridoxine and Cobalamine for a pain reliever sometimes, but I can sleep after taking that.  But thiamine does help regulate circadian rhythm.   Make sure you're getting Omega Three fats! They'll help you satisfy that late night carb craving with fewer carbs.  Flaxseed oil, olive oil, sunflower seed oil.  Nuts and nut butters, like walnuts and cashews, are good, too, if you can tolerate them.    Try taking the 100mg thiamine HCl before your aerobics and see if there's a difference.  Sweet dreams!

So while iron ferratin levels are normal my bet is, as kitty alluded to, iron not getting into cells. I have dr appointment next mo but don't hold out a lot of hope, There is strong correlation of low red blood cells and insomnia so at least I finally solved that one after few yrs of being mislead. I intend to take stop taking 100 mg b1 at noon time and start 150 mg benfotiamin. I may or may not add the the 100 mg b1evening meal. BTW, last night had 1/3 lb beef. potato then 2 bowls cereal and an apple later in the eve. I generally do my areobics before supper so maybe that contributes to the hunger.

      Coeliac And Cardio Vascular Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Aileen Cregan, I was put on high blood pressure medication, too. But I was able to correct my high blood pressure by supplementing with Thiamine Vitamin B 1.  I am no longer on high blood pressure medication.  I feel much better without the medication. I continue to supplement Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine.   The particular high blood pressure medication I took was Norvasc (amlodipine), which causes thiamine deficiency by blocking thiamine transporters so that thiamine cannot enter cells.  Benfotiamine can get into cells by merging with the cell membrane, thus bypassing nonfunctional thiamine transporters.   Indapamide also blocks thiamine transporters! The use of this type of medications that block thiamine precipitated Wernickes Encephalopathy.  My doctors did not recognize the connection to Thiamine deficiency.  I nearly died.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing with Benfotiamine, a fat soluble form of thiamine that bypasses thiamine transporters.  Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity Assay to check your thiamine levels asap.  Routine blood tests for thiamine are not an accurate measure of  thiamine in the body.   Absorption of essential vitamins like Thiamine is altered in Celiac Disease due to damaged villi, inflammation and dysbiosis.  The Gluten Free diet can be lacking in vitamins and minerals.  Discuss supplementing with all the eight B vitamins,  the four fat soluble vitamins and necessary minerals. Please keep us posted on your progress!
