hello!

i decided to do the elimination diet about a week or two ago because, after being gluten free for a little over a year, i was still having some issues. anyway, i was just wondering if there were certain food groups that caused certain symptoms...that might help narrow it down? i'm sure it can't be that easy :) but i was just wondering if anyone had any insight! (mine are mostly GI problems--bloating & C, but have really cleared up on the elimination diet.) thanks!!

hey! :) hope things are okay.

i get the 'obvious' symptoms from gluten.

dairy gives me the most intense brain fog, and i want to fall asleep. often, my legs get really weak, like i just got back from a long run. i also get pain in my sternum.

i get dizzy, a tight chest, and hives from my other allergic foods.

I have bloating & C too and I'm currently trying to find out what other foods are causing them. I'm also experiencing bad back pain that I think is from another intolerance. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Also, I think you're supposed to do the elimination diet for longer than a week or two...

yeah i'm planning on doing it longer than a couple weeks (although i had a bit of a slip up today :ph34r: ) i was just wondering if there were an "typical" reactions to certain groups that might help me figure it out quicker/steer in the right direction. for example, let's say if you have a watermelon allergy, that makes your pinky toes tingle for 36 seconds (ok i'm totally making this up). well then i would know it's not watermelon because those aren't really my symptoms. :) lol but then again i suppose it's different for everyone, so it doesn't really matter...

emcmaster, i hope can figure your's out too! i was feeling really good doing the elimination but kind of slipped up and am feeling back to usual. have you tried it? it might be worth it. i just decided recently that i want to take control and really get all this figured out instead of being content feeling average-ly good being just gluten-free. i want to feel great! i hope we can all get there someday... :wub:

hi katrinamaria,

if you are on the elimination diet you need to be strict! 'a bit of a slip up' can turn all upside down. you really need to plan it and stick to the plan. it's tricky, it's hard but if you're not strict, everything will be useless.

you need to rely on food you can eat at least one week or more until your symptoms disappear and if/when your symptoms disappear you can reintroduce one food on one day and then wait 4 days before you reintroduce the next. depending on how many foods you will test, you have to stick it for month...

good luck,

Sonja

I have an intolerance to corn and soy, they both cause severe cramping and constipation for me. Tomatoes give me severe diarrhea, similiar to gluten. I can eat oranges with no problem, yet an orange scented spray makes my chest tighten up, eventually causing breathing problems. I react to wheat and oats on my skin with hives. Mushrooms make me ill in 20 minutes. Rice causes a reaction similiar to corn and soy. I also have similiar problems with many veggies--no broccoli, cauliflower, most squash, cabbage type veggies--the list goes on and on.

Thanks. I've done the elimination diet, but didn't get as many results as I'd hoped for. I'm doing the A.L.C.A.T. test next week, so I look forward to seeing what comes up as an intolerance.

Hi Elizabeth :)

Good luck on those tests! I'll be looking forward to seeing how you do. Most of all, I hope that they give you the information you need to feel better!

emcmaster, I read in your post that you are doing the A.L.C.A.T. test. Is this a reputable company? Doeas anyone else know? My hubby is agreeing for me to take the test but wants to make sure that we are not sending our money to just anyone. I need to find out exactly what I am allergic to.

Thanks

Jodi

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam. The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen. The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery. Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years. Close call! Triple A's can press on the...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.
