Does anyone else only tolerate egg whites? I haven't been able to eat eggs since going gluten-free but, this morning I tried an egg white omelet and haven't had any problems. I can't tell you how excited I am!

Does the white come back first? Anyone else notice this?

it is just more easy to digest. I have many many many intolerances but not in the white of the eggs. It is the yellow part that is suposed to be "difficult".

Good for you!!

I have always had a problem with the yellow of the egg ,it is so bad that I even ( could not tolerate the pie that is brushed with the yellow) So I eat egg white freid with salt and pepper, I used to put that on toast , I just eat it with potatoes. i think it is the Sulfa that I am not able to digest.

I have always heard that the yellow is the "allergenic" part of the egg and many tollerate the white and not the yellow. I have no personal experience myself just the testimonies on allergy type boards.

I am lactose intolerant.

I have allergies to sulfites, sulfates, sulfa, and all sulfer dirivatives. Sulfa in egg yokes. Have only eaten egg whites for years.

Now I am to follow a glutten, starch free diet for rest of my life.

Eggs yolks are high in sulfur. I dont tolerate any foods which are high sulfur.

Do you also notice problems with foods such as garlic and onions?? If so...it is likely that you cannot tolerate foods with a high sulfur content.

Rachel, I have a severe allergies to sulfa, sulfites, sulfates and any sulfer dirivative. My doctor wouldn't believe me until he spoke to an allergist about me. Now there is no medication for me. I have had anaphlatic shock because of sulfites used as preservatives, and in mouth wash. I can't have flu shots because they are made from eggs. Garlic, onions and cabbage have a natural sulfa in them. Garlic will cause such pain in my chests from GERDs (Gastro esphogus reflux disease). Onion I have problems with, but found if the onions are cooked most sulfa is taken out, so not so bad. Cabbage also bad, so I use grape leaves to make cabbage rolls, they are very nice tasting.

Did big no no yesterday, had wonton soup, with gren onions, with egg rolls!!!!!!! Man, did my hands swell. Not very smart on my part. This morning my hands are still swelled and my left eye was just stinking. So now I have to look for recipes for wontons to make my own wonton soup. I guess it going to have to be all natural. Also found out the MSG (monosodium Glutamate (Glutamate is gluten), which I have a severe allergy too most of my life, was telling me something back when about my gluten problems. Didn't know then how serious my gluten problems would get.

Gerri,

The problem with sulfur foods is usually a metabolic issue....meaning its not so much an "allergic reaction" (although you can be getting that reaction from the sulfa/sulfites). If you cant tolerate natural sulfur in foods it can be because your body is unable to convert sulfur to sulfate....which is a necessary process in the body and crucial for maintaining health.

That is the reason for my problems which began 5 years ago. When sulfur metabolism is inhibitied this leads to impaired function of the sulfation pathway. A faulty sulfation pathway causes impaired detoxification of many things.

There is an enzyme which is responsible for converting sulfur to sulfate (which is necessary for sulfation pathway and intestinal health)...its called "sulfur oxidase". If that enzyme is down we are not able to convert sulfur to "useable" sulfate and the sulfur can accumulate to toxic levels...which cause reaction.

Sulfur metabolism can be damaged by mercury and heavy metals...it can also be a genetic problem. There may be addittional factors but these are the most common I believe.

Also found out the MSG (monosodium Glutamate (Glutamate is gluten), which I have a severe allergy too most of my life, was telling me something back when about my gluten problems. Didn't know then how serious my gluten problems would get.

Actually glutamate is not gluten. They are two entirely different things. MSG is bad for you for its own reasons (its a neurotoxin). However, glutamate is naturally ocurring in many foods....including tomato, parmesan, mushrooms, etc.....it is in no way linked to gluten/gliadin. ;)

Thanks Rachel,

My boys and I have serve reactions to sulfites, sulfates, sulfa and any derivatives of sulfer. My one son, has seizures when he has to much sulfates, sulfites, in his system.

My oldest son takes after me and just has lots of stomach problems.

What you said make lots of sense.

As for the glutamate, the article did say that glutamate can be in wheat flour. Any rate I have severe allergy to MSG, as well as corn, and anything that may contain sulfites, sulfates, sulfa and any derivatives of sulfer. I have problem with tomatoes, but I still eat them. Muschrooms, I have had no problems with them, nor with parmesan.

I have to watch hair shampoos, I end up with sores on my scalp.

These allergies are getting worse they are looking into RA and Lupus.

Hugs

Gerri

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hi Trent, no dairy. Other than good quality butter. I have been lactose free for years. No corn, sugar, even seasonings and spices. I don't eat out. I cook my own food.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, are you consuming dairy? Not sure if dairy is part of the carnivore diet.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply. I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal...

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      The sensitivity of people with coeliac disease varies greatly between individuals. The generally accepted as safe limit for most people is 10 milligrams per day. This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting...

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply.  I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal allergy inflammation be contributing to my celiac inflammation? I am so careful, there is no way I could ingest gluten. For example, couple of months ago I tried a cough drop that says it was gluten free. I checked ingredients, it seemed fine. But just taking one of those caused me to have nausea, vomiting, and the same extreme abdominal pain. Have you ever heard of anyone else having symptoms like mine after being diagnosed celiac and strictly gluten free? The last episode I had like this was yesterday, after I ate a certified gluten-free coconut macaroon with a little chocolate on it. I have eaten coconut and chocolate before with no issue,  so I didn't see how I could all of a sudden have such a strong response.

This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting. I don't think that touching or throwing bread around would lead to you ingesting enough to cause a reaction. There are case reports of farmers with coeliac disease reacting to the dust from gluten-containing animal feed but they were inhaling large amounts of dust over a long period of time in barns. Perhaps you episodes are caused by a reaction to something other than gluten? Have you had your antibody levels checked to see whether you are still being exposed to gluten?
