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

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
