Egg, Soy, Casein, Corn And Gluten Allergies?


confusedks

Recommended Posts

confusedks Enthusiast

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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
