BTW--as a side note, I have become intolerant to bananas after eating them every morning for so long. They were a "safe" food for me, but now, they bother me for some reason. I'm not going to try another for maybe 6 months or so and see if they still are bothersome.

Well thats just it, I dont eat them all that often. Just happened to be on sale.

Fruit can be very cleansing, particularly if eaten on an empty stomach. So, maybe it was just washing out some other gunk in your system. Maybe it wasn't the apple, but the other stuff it was cleaning up that made you sick. Eat some junk food, it's not cleansing ... kidding.

Maybe it is the coffee and you don't know it. Too much caffeine causes GI/Diahrea symptoms. I think I read up to 8 cups of 8 ounces a day will make anyone go straight to the bathroom.

ONE cup of coffee is enough to give me diarrhea, gas, and cramps!

I stopped eating apples this fall because whenever I would eat one I'd get burpy and then get a headache/nauseous feeling. I know these apples were not waxed because I bought them off a farm. Come to think about it I've had apple pie since then and didn't get the same feeling. Hmmm maybe the peeling is the culprit or being cooked changes it. I've had applesauce too with no problem, lol I'm just realizing this.

That sounds like it!

Can not be the follow:

1) eating to many apples for long time... cause have not been...only get them when on sale

2) too much fiber... got the reaction after only a few bites

3) other food/drink... did not eat/drink any.

Its defintly the apples though cause the reaction was with in minutes of that fisrt bite.

UGH!!!

I never had all these food allergies either.

I must say -- NOW, I have a problem with APPLEs too. Never did before!

All these secondary allergies did NOT come on me until 4 or 5 years gluten & dairy free. :angry: I never cheated-- ever! I have developed a problem with so many things, NOW my diet is very limited. I think it is something we [ALL] need to study a bit more. In a couple of the celiac disease books I've read they address the very real issues of secondary allergies that many of us Celiac's get as time passes. I created a thread to see if some of the old-time > (people who have had it more then 5 or 10 years) Celiac's that have been living with celiac disease could help many of us... No one has posted anything yet. Maybe I posted in the wrong spot.

Have you been tested for apples?

Be well!

Yikes, this is one I know a lot about. My youngest son is allergic to apples. Not only does he get the bloating, gas, stomach pain, etc., but his mouth itches and his lips swell. He can eat them cooked, however and the dr. said it is because the heat changes the chemical makeup of the food. This is not the case with protein foods like casein, soy and nut allergies apparently. Also, I remember on another thread a couple of months ago, someone had some interesting info on cross-allergies. For instance if you are allergic to a certain antibiotic or tree, then you may have an allergy to a food or whatever that is related chemically. (I hope I am explaining it right) Will try to find that other thread. Anyway, hopefully you can still have gluten-free apple pie!! :D

In that post you have..

Also, they may correspond with outdoor allergens this way:

Trees--apple, peach, cherry, apricot, plum, pear, kiwi, celery, carrot, potato and hazelnut

Grass--celery, cereal grains, and potato

Weeds--apple, carrot, celery, kiwi, orange and peanut

Ragweed--banana, cantaloupe, honeydew and watermelon

Sooo not sure what that is say. I am allergic to Oak, so that means that the trees line would be bad?

I *believe* it means that if you have a tree allergy, these are foods that you may also experience symptoms with. Not every person, every time--just a guideline.

I have found truth to this. But I never had any of these allergies before I went gluten & dairy free for 5 years. Except ragweed.

This is what I'm allergic to --

I have a reactive problem or allergy with these -->

TREES: APPLE'S PEACHES & HAZELNUTS

GRASS: CEREAL GRAINS POTATOES

WEEDS: APPLES (not cooks - when cooked they aren't so bad on me) ORANGES, PEANUTS

RAGWEED: (ragweed from the North East I'm allergic too) I'm not sure about the melons they seem okay - I LIVE ON BANANAS!

Eating too much fiber can make you very nauseous and sick to your stomach...add that to the coffee, with its caffiene and fiber-like results, and that might explain why you feel so yucky now...

I can not tolerate apples at all. They are almost as bad as gluten for me. It doesn't make any difference where they come from. I have an apple tree in my back yard so there is no pesticides or wax and they blow through me just as fast as i eat them.

Patti!! Thank you--Sorry to butt in on your thread, Vincent, but Patti-did your information have a link to almonds? Like what is comparable as far as weeds, trees, etc.? Thanks :)

Also, Vincent have you tried them cooked as an experiment yet? Can you eat them cooked Iann?

I can't eat apples in any form. Juiced, cooked, peeled it doesn't matter the end result is always the same and it ain't pretty.

I can eat one apple with no problem. However, once I had some really delicious ones and made the mistake of eating two and like Ian said, it definitely was not pretty :rolleyes:

UGH.

I think Im reacting to oranges too now. I have had NO gluten and NO dairy and NO apples and NO coffee... instead of the apple I bought suynkkis orranges. Ive suspected themin the past cause they make my lips tingly but I had the scratch test and had no reaction to them in that. :blink:

I can only think that you must be sensitive to the acid for some reason. I've been eating more fruit than noraml recently and I developed a huge canker sore on my tongue. Now I've cut down again, it's gone!

Citrus fruits don't agree with me either but not as bad as apples.

Gosh Vincent--what next!? :lol: Seriously, I have had to cut way back on fruit. The only thing I really do right now is a small glass of apple juice in the morning. I love orange juice, but it is too acid for me now. Same with banana, blueberries, and strawberries. If I drink grape juice two days in a row, I get a canker sore. I do sometimes eat an apple--always peeled, though. I'm using more veggies as snacks--celery w/peanut butter is good. Do you think we get more sensitive before we get better? That would explain a lot :D

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      That is interesting, and it's the first time I heard about the umbilical cord beings used for that test. Thanks for sharing!

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
