Vinegar Mystery Solved!

Well, after putting a question out there about problems with vinegar (in my case, EXTREME itching), I went out on the Internet and did some research. I ran across an article on WebMD about Airborne Allergies (see page 4 on the topic) that mentioned that some people show signs of a mold allergy reaction when they eat foods with vinegar in them. Who'da thunk it? There have also been reports of the same reaction in some people when they eat mushrooms, dried fruits, and foods containing yeast and soy sauce, as well.

It's nice to know that the vinegar wasn't causing a gluten reaction in me, as I originally thought. It turns out to be a different food allergy. I haven't experienced this reaction with food products that contain smaller amounts of vinegar; I have noticed it in items where it is one of the first 2-4 ingredients. I don't know if I have this reaction to all of the vinegars - I guess I will have to put that one to the test.

I was found to be allergic to mold when I was 9 years old, but I figured it was to airborne mold. I have always had the same itching reaction to Penicillin, as well as the painkillers that I was given after my C-Sections - morphine, codeine, and hydrocodone. I don't know if there is a connection between these reactions or not.

I just thought I would put this out for anyone who might be looking for an answer to the same question. I hope this helps someone!

Just off the top of my head, as penicillin is grown on mold and yeast and mushrooms are actually molds (or at least all in the family), that all ties together quite neatly. I think yeasts are used in part of the vinegar making process. I have no idea where those opiates and other foods fit into the picture, but I'm sure someone else will! :)

A very common cause for this is a yeast overgrowth. People with an overgrowth of candida (or other yeast/fungi) tend to become sensitive to airborne molds and food borne molds.

The foods you listed...including vinegar...can all cause problems for a person with a yeast overgrowth.

OMG, I'm glad you said that, I'm the same way... I sometimes drink the juice from a pickle jar. :ph34r: Very good for your sinuses! (If not intolerant to it... :P )

I think it says that you dont have a sensitivity to the molds. :P

Apple Cider Vinegar is actually used as treatment for Candida.....as well as many other things. Lots of people feel better after taking apple cider vinegar for their yeast problem.

When I was a child i used to drink red wine vinegar from a spoon, in little sips, i LOVED it. However, I ended up with chronic yeast infections most of my adult life, and now I'm off vinegar as it seemed to be causing serious stomach problems for me.

      Hi Cristiana! It's so nice to meet you! Thank you for the kind reply I am glad I live in a time where you can connect with others through the Internet. That is a mercy I am grateful for.

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Fruits & Veggies

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
