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

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache...

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

"Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."
