Egg, Soy, Casein, Corn And Gluten Allergies?

Recommended Posts

As many of you know, I am trying to figure out if I have Celiac or not. I just ate a bowl of Fruitty Pebbles and Soymilk (gluten-free). I am soooo nauseous it is crazy! I want to go to sleep but I can''t even get in bed and lay down. I guess my question is does anyone have any experience with egg, casein, gluten, soy ANDDDD corn allergies? If so, what do you eat? I think I have allergies to all of these. I had flourless chocolate cake with 6 eggs and a lot of dairy free, dark chocolate and I was so sick after, it was either the eggs, or soy from the chocolate. I also had "Corn THins" and couldn't see straight because of the headache and stomach ache, etc. ALso, after my cereal i literally look 6 months pregnant!! The bloating is so bad!! HELP?!!

I can have corn but not any of the other things you list. An example of what I eat: Morning: rice cakes with nut butter and sliced meat, or rice cakes with goat cheese (which I seem to handle ok), and two pieces of fruit

Lunch: almost always a huge salad with endive, carrots, iceberg, white cabbage, topped with olives and either tuna or salmon or ham, sprinkled with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and herbs

Dinner: Meat and veg stir fry

Snacks: Nuts, dried fruit, a rice cake with nut butter ad honey... but I don't snack a lot.

Maybe this could give you some ideas...

A couple of years ago my husband got a sensitivity test from Yorke and it stated that he was intolerant to gluten, wheat, corn, yeast, cow milk, egg yolk, soy bean, almond, cashew, lentils, hazelnut and chili pepper. Foods to rotate: Brazil nut and Garlic.

Now I have to admit he eats corn, yeast, cow milk, egg yolk as they are so hard to eliminate when you are already gluten-free and can't eat fruits, vegetables, spices, beans & nuts due to other celiac related digestion problems; also he cannot eat sorghum, flax, garbonzo - all beans, as for some reason these flours bother him too. But this is just him.

Kassandra, it sounds like you are intolerant to lectins, like me. In which case you probably shouldn't eat rice, either.

The lectin groups are: All grains (including rice and corn), all dairy, eggs, legumes (including soy and peanuts) and nightshades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant).

Most people would not be intolerant to ALL of those lectins but only some groups. I appear to have a problem with all of them.

By the way, gluten is a lectin.

Here is a link where it is all explained, that really helped me: Open Original Shared Link

Eliminate the soy and see if you still have an egg issue. I have most of that and once you get used to it, it isn't bad at all. I use Enjoy Life chocolate chips. I am also intolerant to the calcium suppliment that is added to OJ and non-dairy milks. Most vanilla (that is gluten free) is derived from something I am intolerant too so that rules out many other things from EnjoyLife but not all...

Breakfast for me is eggs and homemade sausage (which if you can't have the eggs of course wouldn't work)

Lunch is leftovers from dinner which is usually meat and potatoes with some veggies.

Desert is fresh rasberries (sp?) when I treat myself.

I make chebe buns and make myself cashew butter and berry jelly sandwhiches. Sometimes I just smear that on rice crackers. For cold lunches, I make chicken salad with passover mayo that I can get once a year and stock up on. I make my own broth to use in my homemade soups.

I cannot tolerate bananas or strawberries.

Yup I have some of those. Sounds like "leaky-gut-caused-allergies/intolerances" and intestinal candida.

I believe nearly all long-time celiac disease sufferers have these.

The increased intestinal permeability (leaky-gut) allows partially digested food particles into the bloodstream, where they are seen as foreign invaders and as such are attacked by the immune system.

I eat fish (love my spectacular broiled salmon), chkn breast, some vegs, salads (w/out my former fav ingreds but loving avocado & toasted pine nuts), some nuts, almond butter etc

I can't eat any of those either. I just read about the Specific Carbohydrate Diet and it seems to fit me. I was also thinking it was a lectin issue, but when I eliminated those, I still had mild GI symptoms. After reading about the SCD, I can eliminate all but the simple sugar foods.

So what I eat is home prepared meat, cooked vegetables, cooked or very ripe fruit, & olive oil/vinegar, salt, spices, tea, honey.

It's really limiting, but if the SCD is correct, then after 3 months, I can add other foods back in.

For breakfast, I have a pan fried thin pork chop with fruit

Lunch, grilled chicken or beef, fruit, and vegetable/salad.

Dinner, same as lunch.

My daughter is allergic to all of those things but corn in addition to some other things. She eats a lot of rice and rice pasta. Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor. Make sure you buy the dairy free kind. Some has whey in it. She uses rice milk. For breakfast she usually has some energy bars made of cashews, dates and coconut. A good meal or snack is hummus with rice chips/crackers and/or raw veggies. She eats vegetable soup, tomato soup, chili. Plain meats. Potatoes in all forms.

A favorite meal is a stuffed baked potato. Start with a large potato. Poke some holes in it with a fork then bake till tender. Let cool enough to handle. Cut it in two then scoop out the insides, leaving a shell of about 1/8". Mash the potato adding some rice milk, olive oil, salt, pepper and chopped green onions or chives, a bit of parsley and plenty of nutritional yeast. Stuff it back in the shells, then drizzle with a bit more olive oil and give it a good dusting of Sweet Hungarian Paprika. Bake long enough for the tops to brown and the potato to be heated through.

The corn allergy would be a tough one. Corn is in everything!

Yeah, very possible, not fun, but possible. I can't have the regular glutens, no corn, soy, rice, or nightshades. I think dairy is ok for me, not positive, but pretty sure.

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
