has anyone had non-standard allergic reactions to nuts? i'm curious what everyone's symptoms were before they figured out that they were allergic to nuts.

Yes, I do have odd reactions to nuts. If I eat tree nuts, I get very exhausted and tired, to the point that I am unable to get up and do my normal activities. I don't swell up, I don't get hives, and I don't have trouble breathing. I just get very run-down and exhausted.

I've been allergic to nuts all my life. Unfortunately my throat closes and my eyes swell shut.

My nut/food allergies immediately result in itchy lips, throat and ears. I was allergic to peanuts since childhood, but recent allergy testing revealed I've outgrown that allergy (after having kids!) Instead, I've developed "oral allergy syndrome" related to my severe birch & alder tree allergies...I'm now allergic to all tree fruit, almonds and hazelnuts (filberts). However, I do not have a reaction to these foods if they have been cooked. So, I cannot eat a raw apple, but can still eat apple pie...well, at least until I have my endoscopy to see if I'm also gluten intolerant. :rolleyes:

Oh, you can still have apple pie even if you are Celiac! There are several crust recipes on this site, but you can even buy frozen gluten-free crusts if you want.

My son has a mild oral allergy to apples & carrots. He also has "hay fever", & I'm told they're related.

My daughter is a celiac, and I've recently been tested, but results aren't in yet.

Pistachios give me blood blisters inside my mouth.

Most other nuts just give me canker sores.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
