Afternoon all... I have a question someone will know answer to. I am on a 4 day rotation diet to keep from developing more food allergies and need to know where lamb fits in the protein families, hope it is not beef.

years ago I followed this plan and was able to get over BAD diarhea (dropped weight to 104 Lbs) and got off the special diet. Took a few years..think now it was a warning of Celiac disease around 1990 but no Dr. (not even @ Mayo clinic ) came up/ Celiac then. Maybe just did not have right Dr. I have added some food allergies lately such as some fruits and chicken, also milk. Does anyone know if safe to eat yogurt/ lactaid?

I have nearly gotten the D stopped but not the nauseau, especially after breakfast. anyone have that problem too?

I am now 77 yrs young so I may not have a lot of time to get myself into a good place/ my digestive health, especially since we are far from a health food store. but I d o plan to send an order soon for some staples. our oldest daughter who comes every few months is 25 mile from one & she finds some unusual foods and gluten free foods for me. Thank you so much for any help you can give me. evie

Evie, I am not sure what your exact question is. Are you asking if lamb is beef? If you are, then the answer is, "No, it is meat from a sheep, as in a little lamb" (and I think they call meat from a grown sheep lamb as well, I guess it sounds better).

And a rotation diet is a good idea. I try rotating the few foods I have left as well. Too bad I can't rotate pears :D , the only fruit I can still eat! And I am afraid that I am starting to show a beginning allergy to them. So, I try to at least vary the different kinds of pears I eat.

Thanks for your answer Ursula!! I really did not think lamb and beef were from the same family. I wonder why we both seem to get allergic to fruit so easily, could it be because of the natural sugar? I do have a few more I can eat than pears but I sure do enjoy them. I have noticed that if I really like something it is quite possible to get allergic to that food. A year ago I was really liking oatmeal and that was next allergy!! I was on the rotation diet years ago, might have been a good idea if had stayed on it permanently, might have less food allergies. I am also chemically sensitive to many different things such as smoke, petroleum products, paint + mold and ragweed, some flowers, some trees and etc. I get monthly allergy shots for the worst ones...I think being on the gluten free diet has helped me have less problems with them. Yeah!! :rolleyes: THX evie

Hi, I am glad the diet is helping you a bit. Lamb and mutton are from a different family than beef. I believe goats would be in the same family as sheep but don't expect you'll be eating too many of those. Buffalo meat which is readily available in my local markets would be related to beef though. I also just wanted to make sure you know that oatmeal in the US is often crosscontaminated and many of us need to avoid it, both as food and as a cosmetic or shampoo ingredient. As time goes by gluten-free you may find your other allergies are actually getting better. I only have a couple bad weeks now in the spring when the maples bloom. Before diagnosis I skin tested as allergic to everything except beech trees. Be sure you check all your toiletries etc and welcome to the board

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly.

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.
