Create Other Allergies?

[Octoberme]

Hello all. This may be a silly question, but the more and more research I do, the more and more confused I get....

So........so far with me, remaining gluten free does not seem to be TOO difficult for me. I am just eating my chicken I love, salmon, plums, apples, pears, gluten free rice bread, rice, rice crackers, risotto, tuna, rice tortilla's, etc........

NOW, I keep getting bombarded with " if you eat the same foods all the time you will become allergic to THEM, or sensative to them "......

Is this true. Because it seems that my bread / tortilla's / crackers, etc. all seem to be made with corn, and therefore I am consuming everyday, am I going to now become allergic to them? I am not a big eater and....also a LAZY kitchen person, so I do tend to eat mainly the same thigns most of the time. I am harming myself?

Any easy, no baking ( I will cook, but I do nto make my own bread / pasta, etc ), ideas for me? I am not a big meat eater, I am lactose intolerant, and I am in Canada so i am finding that a lot of things mentioned on this site I cannot find......

Those who are gluten intolerant as opposed to those who are Celiac become intolerant because of the sheer quantity of the stuff they are constantly exposed to.

It can happen that we can become intolerant of other foods if we eat them continuously so it is better to rotate them if you can. Maybe try rice for a couple of days then swap to corn, then to another grain, or just avoid carbs altogether for a day or two and stick to the meat, veg and fruit.

I think that those who become intolerant of other carbs, may, like me, actually be carbohydrate intolerant. My body doesn't process them properly. When I think about it, the only 2 times in my life when I was well, was when I was low-carb-ing. Just now I am trying to follow the Specific Carbohydrate diet and stick to eating simply with just an occasional carb treat.

It is difficult, simply because we have been programmed by our environment to eat lots of carbs. If we lived in a community that didn't, we wouldn't miss them! It is just a matter or re-programming our minds to do without them. I have had to concentrate on cooking and eating more healthily, and I am finding it really refreshing and am feeling better for it.

For someone with Celiac disease additional allergies are possible. Celiac is an auto immune condition and it effects the cell structure of the intestines making them more permeable. It's called Leaky Gut. I believe there's a thread about it somewhere here on the forum. Leaky Gut can lead to other allergies.

Whether allergies acquired that way every go away is up for debate. I'm hoping they do, but no one seems to have a definite answer.

Thanks for the replies. I guess I am just gonna have to stop being so lazy and try figuring out new things and making sure to rotate what I am eating. Better safe then sorry. Lol, I do LIKE a lot of different things, it is just hard ot get motivated to make sure I have them on hand and that I am sufficiently rotating between them.

Thanks :-)
