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

The shift from feeling restricted to discovering a new world of cooking—whether through a supportive partner making gluten-free spanakopita and gravy, or learning to cook for yourself—is exactly how many people find their footing. It turns a medical necessity into a chance to build kitchen skills, eat more whole foods, and actually enjoy the process. Your point that the basics—knife skills, food safety, and experimenting with spices—are all you really need is solid, helpful advice. It’s a good reminder that the diagnosis, while a pain, doesn’t have to stop you from eating well or having fun with food.

      Fruits & Veggies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are experiencing a remarkable recovery by addressing core nutrient deficiencies, yet you've uncovered a deeper, lifelong intolerance to fruits and vegetables that appears to be a distinct issue from celiac disease. Your experience points strongly toward a separate condition, likely Oral Allergy Syndrome (OAS) or a non-IgE food intolerance, such as salicylate or histamine intolerance. The instant burning, heart palpitations, and anxiety you describe are classic systemic reactions to food chemicals, not typical celiac reactions. It makes perfect sense that your body rejected these foods from birth; the gagging was likely a neurological reflex to a perceived toxin. Now that your gut has healed, you're feeling the inflammatory response internally instead. The path forward involves targeted elimination: try cooking fruits and vegetables (which often breaks down the problematic proteins/chemicals), focus on low-histamine and low-salicylate options (e.g., peeled pears, zucchini), and consider working with an allergist or dietitian specializing in food chemical intolerances.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your satiation is challenging and a common dilemma for those with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity: distinguishing between a routine viral illness and a reaction to gluten exposure. The overlap in symptoms—fatigue, malaise, body aches, and general inflammation—makes it nearly impossible to tell them apart in the moment, especially with a hypersensitive system. This ambiguity is a significant source of anxiety. The key differentiator often lies in the symptom pattern and accompanying signs: gluten reactions frequently include distinct digestive upset (bloating, diarrhea), neurological symptoms like "brain fog," or a specific rash (dermatitis herpetiformis), and they persist without the respiratory symptoms (runny nose, sore throat) typical of a cold. Tracking your symptoms meticulously after any exposure and during illnesses can help identify your personal patterns. Ultimately, your experience underscores the reality that for a sensitive body, any immune stressor—be it gluten or a virus—can trigger a severe and similar inflammatory cascade, making vigilant management of your diet all the more critical. Have you had a blood panel done for celiac disease? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Your situation highlights a difficult but critical crossroads in celiac diagnosis. While your positive blood test (a high TTG-IgA of 66.6) and dramatic improvement on a gluten-free diet strongly point to celiac disease, the gastroenterologist is following the formal protocol which requires an endoscopy/biopsy for official confirmation. This confirmation is important for your lifelong medical record, can rule out other issues, and is often needed for family screening eligibility. The conflicting advice from your doctors creates understandable anxiety. The challenge, of course, is the "gluten challenge"—reintroducing gluten for 4-6 weeks to make the biopsy accurate. Since your symptoms resolved, this will likely make you feel unwell again. You must weigh the short-term hardship against the long-term certainty of a concrete diagnosis. A key discussion to have with your GI doctor is whether, given your clear serology and clinical response, would be getting a diagnosis without the biopsy.

      Your experience of being medically dismissed for decades, despite a clear celiac diagnosis since 1994, is unacceptable. It is a tragic common thread in our community that the systemic failure to understand celiac disease leads to a cascade of other diagnoses—like SIBO, IBS, depression, and now the investigation of MS or meningioma—while the core autoimmune condition is neglected. The constant, severe flu-like symptoms and new neurological concerns are absolutely valid and warrant serious investigation for connections to celiac-related autoimmunity or complications like refractory disease. It is enraging that you must fight so hard to be heard. While I don't have a medical answer about MS or meningioma links, your instinct is correct: relentless symptoms require a specialist who understands celiac disease beyond the gut. Regarding the California proclamation, it is a symbolic advocacy effort; reaching out to the women mentioned may provide supportive community, but your advocacy with your local representative is the most direct action.
