"gateway" Intolerance?

[Guest ~wAvE WeT sAnD~]

...other intolerances? I've heard the members of this forum talk about acid/sugar intolerance after being diagnosed with celiac disease. Some food products have been burning the back of my throat (such as banana pepper brine). Has my body become intolerant of some other types of food as well as Gluten?

Thanks,

I don't know that gluten intolerance "causes" other intolerances, but I do know that if you are intolerant to one food you are more likely to be intolerant to others.

What tends to happen to alot of us is that once we are gluten-free and start feeling better our bodies are able to point out the other intolerances that were always there, but the symptoms were less noticable due to the gluten induced symptoms. So then you start having different symptoms, that aren't as bad, but certainly annoying and you have to figure out what is causing those.

I know that I have problems with gluten, casein and I'm allergic to soy, but I suspect that I have problems with yeast, tomatos, guar gum, and certain types of hot peppers. I am thinking of having the York IgG food intolerance tests done, but I have a bit more research to do on them before I spend more money. It would be nice to know exactly what it making me feel bad, since I would like to feel my best! I certainly feel better now then I ever remember feeling in my life, it is just the annoying little digestive problems that come and go even while I'm gluten-free (and cf) and I know it is the other foods I am eating. I don't want to restrict my diet too much, but I want to feel better!

God bless,
