Celiac Diease And Anaphylactic Nut Allergy?

I have been diagnosed with severe Celiac disease for about a year now. Also, I have an Anaphylactic tree nut allergy as well which i have known about for 2 years. My question is what are the chances of both!!!!??? And is there anyone else out there with the same problem??? :(

Food is such a chore because everything has to be nut free too! I haven't had a cookie in forever!! Someone help!! The local gluten free bakery uses nuts so I have nothing but a tiny gluten free section in Loblaws and about 7 of the many products on that shelf. :angry:

Can anyone shed some light on this?? My doctors have no answer for me, at least the ones who actually know what Celiac is! :)

There are others with both, yes. I have other anaphylactic allergies, but not nuts. (latex and squash...wtf??? lol)

As for cookies, its time to get creative in the kitchen! Homemade= sooo much better than store bought :-) But there are plenty of gluten and nut free cookies out there- I suggest you try a health food store, such as whole foods or trader joes, or order online. There's a brand called enjoy life that makes products free of all common allergens, including gluten and nuts. Their products are pretty hit or miss, and I haven't tried the cookies, but they're safe! I'm sure there are other brands as well.

PS- My cousins have anaphylactic nut allergies, and a dessert that works for all of us is meringues or chocolate dipped strawberries (one's also egg-allergic) or something like that.

If you can eat peanuts there are several recipes that use peanut butter and chocolate chips and are really good! :)

The good life brand double chocolate brownies (i think that's the name) are pretty stinkin good!!! My husband and my son, both of whom eat gluten, loved them and thought they were great. Check them out for a cookie fix!

The great thing about good life is that they do not use the "dirty eight" allergens, and have facilities dedicated to these items so there's no risk of CC. LOVE THAT!

My 6 year old daughter is in the same boat. She's anaphylactic to peanuts, and ALL tree nuts are off limits. She's also intolerant to soy, as well as allergic to dairy and eggs.

You are absolutely not the only one!!! I've known I was allergic to tree nuts for years. Even as a little kid I had a hard time explaining how weird my throat felt if I ate a cookie with walnuts or something in it. (Hello?!?!? That's the feeling of your throat closing!) I'm not sure if I would be considered anaphylactic or not, but I react with a swelling throat, I get all sweaty and shaky, and then I vomit. My reactions have actually gotten a little worse over the years, but I've never had to carry a shot or medication or anything. It's still a meserable and terrifying experience to get a nut by mistake though.

Anyway, I was diagnosed with Celiac this Spring. I have been pretty happy with the Enjoy Life Brand products I've tried. I've eaten the Snickerdoodle cookies and the trail mix, and they aren't bad. It's very nice to know I can trust they are nut and wheat free. I am lucky enough to NOT be allergic to peanuts, and hope the same is the case with you. I just made peanut butter cookies this weekend: 1 cup peanut butter, 1 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and a glug of molasses. (Chill the does as it's sticky) Bake at 350. Nobody should have to love without cookies!!! Plus, with these you don't have to go buy any special flours or anything. Hope it helps!!

My family is in a similar position.

My oldest has an anaphylactic nut allergy. No peanuts or tree nuts or shared equipment products. She also is extremely lactose intolerant.

My youngest is a celiac, dairy allergy, shellfish allergy, egg allergy is suspect, and she can't have nuts due to sibling anaphylactic allergy.

I just have Celiacs. So although we don't have the nut and Celiac combo, we eat like it. And yes, we have the why me days! And the "This SUCKS!!" days. But overall, we eat pretty well. Of course, I have learned to love baking, so that helps.

The Enjoy Life chocolate chips and cookies are great. We love their brownie cookies too.

Also try the CherryBrook Kitchen Chocolate Cake mix. Sooo good!

Namaste Blondies are yummy!

gluten-free Pantry Brownie mix, Coffee Cake mix, etc are great!

Start learning to love lists, because it is the only way I can keep track of all of this!

Good luck and it does get better.

I'm celiac and allergic to peanuts. I'm not anaphylactic so that makes things a bit easier, but I do somewhat understand the difficulty. I was at a party the other night and all the stuff that didn't have gluten had peanuts! Seriously, what are the odds? Usually my friends are really good at having something I can eat, but that night it was like everyone had gluten-induced brain fog and forgot what I couldn't eat :P Not that I minded, I always come prepared.

      Basic metabolic panel results - more flags

      I have many of those same CMP irregularities from time to time, with the exception that my potassium is always normal. What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec.

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one...

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part. It depends on the particular parameter (some are more important than others) and it depends on how far out of range it is. Docs also look for trends over time as opposed to isolated snapshots of this or that being out of spec at any given time. Our body chemistry is a dynamic entity.

Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/
