Different Reactions On Different Intolerances?

I seem to get one reaction out of gluten and dairy (the strongest and fastest) and soy gives me tons of heartburn usually... Then there is corn and egg that seem to have a slower reaction. I seem to be able to do fine on them for a few times in a row and then it hits me bad one day (I usually get enthusiastic about being able to eat them so I keep on every day until I get that bad reaction and remember why I stopped all the other times I tried them again- hope never dies.. :rolleyes: ..or I am just stupid.)

Anyone else recognize this "phenomenon"?

I think my daughter is doing that . . . She reacted immediately to wheat the one time that I knew she was glutened. Other times she reacts and there is no apparent cause. She's eating the same thing she eats everyday . . . almost. We know she reacts when she has a lot of blue dye but not a little. Now I'm wondering if the blue dye "builds up" until she finally has a reaction (much less of a reaction than gluten but the same type). Her brother was the same way with red dye but his reaction was a rash. If he had a little, no problems, but if he had a lot within a short time (within a day or two, not one sitting), then he would get a rash.

I know Dr Fine (behind Entero Lab) talks about delayed reactions when eating gluten, so it must be able to happen with any of the intolerances you would think.

I actually thought it was quite common, but not many answered this, so maybe it isn't.

Sure can make things harder trying to figure out what causes it huh? I have been trying egg so many times now and always end up getting real sick in the end, so now I am pretty sure it is egg...I think. It just has to be.

Have you tried the egg where you keep strict limits? Only an egg a week or something along those lines?

I'm a little rusty on my allergy/intolerance knowledge, but it is possible to react to something immediately and other things you can have a delayed reaction to.

I often experience an accumulative effect reaction, I might have real mild symptoms after eating something and think I can get away with it and the more I eat of it the sicker I get.

Also some things can have a synergistic effect, causing a stronger reaction when two or more things are eaten together, like dairy with gluten, or dairy with sugar, or corn with dairy.

It turns out I have tons of allergies and intolerances, and after doing a lot of testing, i'm on an elimination diet eating only 20 foods right now. Since i'm really clean, I'm noticing things more easily. So far I've reacted three times (its been 8 days). First, I had some potato chips (for 2 days - this was a little delayed) and my intestines were upset, and it came out bad the next day. I think it was the canola oil. 3 days later, I tried a b-complex which said it was gluten free, and I was choking on phlegm 5 minutes later. The next day, I had some herbal tea before bed, and when I went to bed my lips were red and my throat was very scratchy. So, three very different reactions.

Gosh, three reactions in the first week of my diet, guess i'm not strict enuf lol . . .but at least i could see them really clearly.

When the testing is done, I'd be very interested in knowing the final treatment or diet you end up with.

I suddenly have a lot of allergies now and am down to a handful of foods albeit on my own, not by a doctor's direction. I experience the symptoms you mention (plus more, none of which are celiac-like). The one that you mention and which really caught my attention was the phlegm, which I do not think is a typical gluten reaction and probably non-celiac. That's why I'm interested. I think something else is happening and haven't found anything conclusive yet. The best I can come up with is that this may be leaky gut-related. Any clues that can be offered will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

      A little about me and my celiac disease

      By trents · Posted

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
