Create Other Allergies?

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 :-)

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months.

      Absolutely my point with Kerrigan, the owner. She stood to secure many years of faithful patronage by simply inviting us in for a pastry or lunch. Or by simply producing another $50 e-card based on trust. We would have been highly satisfied. We are limited to a few restaurants in the area, and that would have been one. It was very disappointing, esp to my wife, to realize we can't patronize the place anymore.
