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! :-)

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @sleuth, Has your son been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  All of those symptoms can be caused by malnutrition.  I had severe malnutrition that went unrecognized by my doctors.  Intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and gastrointestinal distress are symptoms of deficiencies in the eight essential B vitamins, especially Thiamine B1, which becomes low first because the demand is higher when we're sick.     Celiac Disease causes inflammation and damage of the intestinal lining which inhibits absorption of essential nutrients.  Checking for nutritional deficiencies is part of proper follow up care for people with celiac disease.   Is your son taking any vitamin supplements?  Most supplements contain thiamine mononitrate which in not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that is shown to promote intestinal healing.  Benfotiamine is available over the counter.  Benfotiamine is safe and nontoxic.   Is your son eating processed gluten-free foods?  Gluten-free processed foods are not required to be enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.   Is your son following a low histamine diet?  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten and other foods high in histamine.  High levels of histamine in the brain can cause anxiety, insomnia, and depression.  The body needs the B vitamins to make the enzyme Diamine Oxidase (DAO) to break down and clear histamine.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Vitamin C helps clear histamine as well.  Some people find over the counter antihistamines helpful as well, but they're not for long term use.   Nicotine has antihistamine-like properties, but can also irritate the gut.  Tobacco, from which nicotine is derived, is a nightshade (like tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and eggplant).  Nightshades contain alkaloids which affect gastrointestinal permeability, causing leaky gut syndrome.  Nicotine can cause gastrointestinal irritation and alter for the worse the microbiome. Safer alternatives to Nicotine that have antihistamine properties include Lemon Balm (Sweet Melissa),  Passion Flower, Chamomile, and Bilberry.  They can be taken as supplements, extracts, or tea.  These will help with the anxiety, insomnia and depression in a much safer way. Oolong tea is also helpful.  Oolong tea contains the amino acid L-Theanine which helps the digestive tract heal.  (L -Theanine supplements are available over the counter, if not a tea drinker.)  Tryptophan, a form of Niacin B3, also helps calm digestive symptoms.  Another amino acid, L-Lysine, can help with anxiety and depression.  I've used these for years without problems.   What ways to cope have you tried in the past?

      In general if it is labelled gluten-free then it should be ok for most celiacs, however, those who are super sensitive (which is most who have dermatitis herpetiformis) may want to eat only certified gluten-free items, which are supposed to test down to 10ppm (but don't always!).

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Have faith, you will survive. I get mine from Pipingrock.com.  500 capsules of 10,000 IU for $22.  That is almost two years worth for me.  250 caps 5000 IU for $6.69 if you only take 5,000 a day.  It's like half the price of Walmart.

      Outgrow celiac?

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.
