Confused More Than Ever - Enterolab Results

Hi everyone! Newbie to the forums & this new experience.

had stomach trouble most of my life (32 now). diarrhea and GERD. Had upper GI done and found hiatal hernia and barrett's esophagus (crazy dr didn't check for c. sprue). Been on nexium for 3 years and stopped a month ago due to new side effects (aches, very tired) and b12 defficiency.

Decided to be my own MD since my dr doesn't want to listen to me (They herd me out like I am cattle), so I got the full range of test from Enterolab

got my test back today from enterolab and it looks like I am allergic to everything. I am shocked. :o

I have been gluten free for a couple of months and saw great intestinal improvement (no more loose poo). I still had issues after some meals and started cutting out milk and it helped some more. Then i thought soy was a problem, so I cut my jiff penut butter and helmans mayo (both contained soy), that helped more. I am confused now because I tried a beer the other day at the baseball game (Go Astros) and I didn't get a reaction. I then tried whole milk with some rice chex and didn't have a reaction either. How come I was able to handle that? I am so confused!

Boils down to I seem to only be able to eat a few things now and life is bland and boring. I am pissed off now.

can anyone help me understand why I can't eat anything anymore? I am getting a bit depressed over my lack of flavor in eating anymore. Thanks for letting me vent!

You may just have a threshold level for these irritants. 1 beer fine. 3 beers not fine.

I have not eaten soy or dairy for YEARS. I cut out Gluten about 4 months ago. I dont eat yeast and rarely eat eggs and my diet is more exciting and colorful than it ever was. Anything but bland and boring.

Im also not eating grains.

Tonight I had Cumin/Cilantro chicken, mixed veggies and baked plantains for dinner. Delicious!

It is harder if you do not cook, but there are some great places online where you can order food free of all of your intolerant foods and they are delivered to your door. Just heat them up.

Thanks for the reply. I am sure that I can make this work. I love to cook, but guess I am going to learn to do it more often. Any chance you have the links to those internet sites for the delivered foods just in case?

Thanks

There are quite a few of them:

There are likely to be more, hopefully others will chime in. I dont use them. I enjoy cooking and what I make tastes better than anything I get anywhere else including restaurants.

But these could be helpful for "in a pinch".

To hijack for a second.... B)

Shay

How'd you cook the plantains??? Love them, but my African friends make l'aloco (their word for it) FRIED. And while I can eat my fair share, I just can't cook them at home.

Did you put anything on them? How long did you bake them?

Ok... you may resume to your thread again. :lol::lol:

And to the OP... I wish I had a website for you, but Shay pretty much summed it up. Veggies add LOTS of color, and spices add the flavor. I eat better now than I ever have, and I don't do dairy or gluten, and I'm allergic to eggs.

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't.

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
