I Need Some Help As To Why All Of A Sudden I Feel Horrible

i develop a horrid rash of hives anywhere from the waist down when i eat something and i do not know what that something is!

i went to an allergist who told me i WASNT allergic to wheat/gluten but WAS allergic to apples, bananas, melon and eggs and had a whole list of environmental stuff i was allergic to.

my bloodwork from my regular doctor came back as a gluten/wheat/eggs.

i had steak and rice on thursday night with a grey goose martini and the next day bloated, in pain on my left side of my stomach and COVERED in hives which are STILL there but fading. now yes, the steak had seasoning, as did the rice. the chef came out and said it was 'gluten free' but i do not know what else i could have eaten!

for an appetizer i had a bite of the salmon and mango and it did have a drizzle of something (maybe soy sauce??) but i do not know.

this felt like a BAD reaction with the way the hives looked and the way my stomach felt.

sorry so long but someone please help!

all of my allergies/hives/bloating started in August when my derm had me on Doxycycline for acne. some seem to think that its because of the antibiotics i took that have caused me to all of a sudden have the reactions i have been having to food.

i just dont understand why 'all of a sudden' these past few months have been hell.

help!!

How long were you on the antibiotics . . . long term use of antibiotics can cause an imbalance in your gut. The antibiotics will also kill of your good gut bacteria. You may want to check out probiotics. Definitely do some research, though . . . I am by no means up to par on this stuff. I am in the middle of researching probiotics for my daughter as we have had some long term symptoms that just won't go away and she has been on a long term antibiotic.

Things that make you go hmmmmm.

I went back and researched this a little and apparently some people have no problem with Grey Goose and some people do. If you had soy sauce, that's almost a guarantee that it had wheat . . .

Did your allergist do only scratch testing? Did your other doc do RAST testing (bloodwork) or was it a celiac panel? The RAST testing is suppose to be better for delayed reactions. In general, I've heard (not anything official), that scratch testing is better to find environmental allergies and RAST testing is better for finding food allergies.

Hives are usually an allergic response, but not necessarily. They can be caused by stress, too.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.
