Which Food To Blame

[kyle]

i have been gluten free for awhile now. pretty positive ive been really good for the last 2-3 months or so. but symptoms are still there. ive cut corn, soy, dairy, almonds, and anything artificial out and still got all the same stomach reactions. im wondering now if it could be a possible nightshade intolerence or possibly peanuts. which both would suck since im trying to gain weight. or could it be from cc because i live in a household where everyone eats gluten. i got my own cooking stuff. i keep everything separate, wash my own dishes, and run my hands under water as much as possible when going thru the kitchen. so i just dont see where its coming from. any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I had to eliminate sugar. Also, do you you the same sponge as everyone else to wash your dishes?

Are you keeping a food diary? If not, write down everything you are eating and how you feel afterwords (next day for me) and after a few weeks you will start to see patterns. This helped me discover my other intolerances. Cross contamination is also a possibility when you share the kitchen with gluten eaters (I do as well). Everyone tries very hard to not gluten me but we are a shared facility so I have to be extra careful. I am not one of those who won't allow gluten (if I weren't the only one then that would be different) but they have their own cupboard for gluten and I have my own counter space etc. I agree to use your own sponge especially if all dishes are done by hand. Good luck and hope you find your answers soon!

What kind of stomach ache is it? I finally figured out that coconut oil gives me a stomach ache, though a weird one. I was loving it! Sugars can give me stomach aches.

I've determined that I have various tummy aches and can usually tell by the type which food has offended me. Like I eat lots of avocados. Sometimes it is just too much fat. And that is a particular tummy ache. Dehydration tummy aches are different. Coconut oil tummy aches are different. Constipated/gluteny tummy aches are different.

Can you describe your tummy ache?

You might consider a RAST test. This will tell you what all you are allergic to.

i keep my own sponge separate from theirs. i keep all my own stuff atop in a cupboard so theres no chance of anything falling down or what not. the symptoms are alot like gluten only not as intense. i got the stomach rumbles, fatigue, diareha, and some gas and i havent slept good in quite awhile too which im sure is related in one way or another. what is RAST test ive never heard of it. the food diary is probley a good idea just its hard to rember but its probaly worth a shot. thanx
