What's Going On Now ?

[Guest goldie]

Hi

Seem to be tireder than ever the last few weeks. Anyway, I keep getting sore patches inside my mouth - look a bit red but wouldn't call them ulcers with the skin all around going white and peeling away. Does anyone else get this and know what causes it ?

Also, I love a particular type of sheep's cheese- it's a hard cheese with rind around it and on the last 2 occasions that I have eaten it my throat has felt swollen and deep inside my ears I have had what can only be described as a sort of itchy feeling (!!). I have been eating this for the last year but have only felt this this week after eating it.

Thanks

My first impression is a yeast infection. Try some caprylic acid or other candida killer, and see how it goes. They shouldn't hurt even if there's no infection. Just read the labels to make sure they're gluten-free and comply with whatever other intolerances you might have.

I don't know about the cheese. Perhaps someone else will be able to shed more light on your symptoms.

Your reaction to the cheese sounds like it may be an allergic reaction.

I agree it sounds like your reaction to the cheese is an allergic reaction. I would not eat that again.

The sores in your mouth could be related to a glutening. As could the exhaustion. I would recheck everything your eating and using.

I would wonder about the rind on the cheese also. Was it wrapped in cheesecloth, dusted with flour? Maybe chestnut leaves or allowed to mold? These might not be sitting well with you. L-lysine has always helped my husband with mouth sores.

This is what my GI told me,

When you are newly dx the damage done to your intestines prevents you from being able to digest lactose, once your insides heal those parts will be repaired and you can consume dairy again..if you choose to. He said this can be 6 months to a year.

Sometimes with the gluten intolerance comes casein intolerance, casein is a protein in all dairy it is very similar to gluten in structure, so sometimes the body mistakes it for gluten and reacts.

It's weird how these can just develop I had always eaten cheese, after taking out gluten it bothered me, I tried goat cheese and had a terrible reaction, tried butter with no additives, bad reaction...just gonna give it time, after we heal leaky gut shouldn't be as much of a problem.

The itchy ears, and tired feeling are signs for me that I have eaten something I shouldn't be. Mouths sores are a symptom of celiac.

I am finding there are other lots of other foods that can be a problem & it's not so easy pinpointing them...

This Section has some very helpful and interesting info:

not fun at first but you will feel better!

good luck!

It sounds like an allergy to me, too. The thing about allergies that really stinks, is that you can develop allergies anytime. I am not sure if I'm allergic to cow's milk, or intolerant or what, but I've often though allergic because when I eat dairy, I get sinus pressure/headache, my ears hurt too, and my face usually breaks out within a few days. It also irritates the heck out of my whole GI tract... my GI says we can do the Lactose intolerance test, but because of what it involves, he really doesn't like to do it and cause people to be in pain for a whole day.
