New Food Intolerances

I know there is a thread on tapioca intolerance. This is my new intolerance. I am curious as to why we seem to get new food intolerances. It's very annoying because we are already inconvenienced enough having to eat gluten-free. Not that I should be complaining since I feel great. But I just want to know why these things keep happening to us.

I don't know, other than maybe the protiens in these substances may be similar and our system responds to them as aliens. You will have to wait for a better answer. :blink:

I think it has to do with leaky gut. I don't think these additional intolerances are always permanent.

Yes, I hope they are not permanent. I was casein intolerant for the first year of being gluten-free. I have a science thinking mind and so I like to ask why. LOL

i bet non celiac people have them but are just unaware of it. People who have celiac are probably very very aware of exactly what we put in our bodies, and therefore can probably pick out better what's bothering us. (I'm sorry you're intolerant to tapioca!)

I don't really know the answer either. One reason might be that your exposure to different foods has changed. i.e. you are eating more of something now as a repacement.

My allergist has told me that a food intolerance can develop to anything that you eat more often than every 4 days.

I am hoping that after 1-2 years of strict gluten free that my allergies will calm down as it has for some people.

I've heard the four day intolerance rule before. It's funny though, I eat the same homemade bread daily for five days with the same pb & j. I try to vary everything else I eat. I haven't had any other new intolerances yet. Oh it's lots of fun listening to your body. I think the previous poster is right, celiacs are very in-tune with their bodies.

I've read about leaky gut (intestinal permeability) being the cause of the additional intolerances as well.

The image I have in my head is that my immune system is on hyper-overdrive already from the celiac, like a swarm of bees, and so things that would get mild reaction get an intense one. Most foods we eat cause our bodies to produce antibodies, but instead of a few (in my weird mental picture) lazy bees, we get a swarm. It's not surprising that all that extra stinging would cause a problem, to my mind.

I wish I knew more about food rotation. Can anybody recommend a source? Or maybe a table? (I can barely remember what I ate yesterday, much less remember to avoid it). Ah, my poor celiac brain.

I recently had to give up green tea and decaf iced tea. Not sure why - I also cannot tolerate the calcium suppliment that is added to many OJs and non-dairy milks.

Life just can be difficult. I don't know why all these additional problems. However, I do know that if I eat too much of a food, I do develop an intolerance so I try to rotate most of my foods.

Re food rotation, I can't remember the name. But there used to be several books, and also a cookbook that followed a rotation diet...did the menus for you.

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
