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! :-)

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
