Hi There,

I recently had a blood test done and have found that I'm allergic to Barley, Corn, Rice, Rye, Wheat, Cow's Milk, Egg's, Pineapple and Brewer/bakers yeast + a few other non discript foods.

I have checked the likes of Woolworths and Coles and some health food shops looking for any pre packaged/processed foods like cake mix, bread mix, muffins ,etc. without sucess.

Everything I have checked contains at least one of the foods that I'm allergic to. I have also emailed several health food companies with out sucess.

Is anyone here able to help me pls with preferably brands/names of products I can eat, or maybe recipes..?

Any help would be appreciated...

Cheers Mardy

Orgran is an Australian company I believe. I live in the U.S. and buy and regularly use some of their products, especially the pasta.

Sorry, my tired eyes last night completely misssed the other allergens that you listed :( and I realized later that Orgran might not work for you. Good luck with your search.

In my experience Orgran is the brand with the most things excluded so if you can't use their products, looks to me like you're just going to have to make things from scratch.

A great cookbook is "Sharing sweet secrets, wheat and gluten free" by Pamela Moriarty, and every single thing I have tried from that book has been extremely delicious. Also if you have a look on the Gluten Free Girl website, she has a lot of recipes with unusual flours like teff or sorghum, which you may be able to tolerate.

But on the whole, I think you probably just need to experiment a lot. Chickpea flour might be a good one for you to test out because that can be used to make pancakes etc just on its own.

Mostly making your own stuff from scratch doesn't take that much longer than using a packet though and then you can be absolutely sure what you are putting into your food!

Actually, a great tip I learned from a friend with multiple intolerances is that mung bean noodles, aka bean thread or bean vermicelli are a great substitute for all kinds of starches - you can use them instead of pasta or any kind of noodle you would put in a stir fry. They have them at Coles and Woolies in the asian grocery section for about 55-65c per pack, or even cheaper at the asian grocer. The brand I get at the supermarket is in a mostly clear sort of shrink wrapped packet with bright blue and red on it at the ends.

You just need to soak them in boiled water for 8-10 minutes and then you can use them either hot or cold. (They are great cold in a salad too!) :D

      I'm not saying this is what you have, but your description reminds me of Morgellons, which are not very well understood. Here is a review from a reputable source.

      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.

      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. 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?
