New Food Allergies?

Okay so I haven't posted in a while. But here's the deal.

I am 100% positive I am not even getting CC glutened. My DH is back. And about 3 weeks ago I started getting extremely sick and I'd throw up after almost every meal. About 2 weeks ago, an event in my life caused me to become depressed and lose appetite so I haven't been eating much... This is what I noticed.

I bread my own chicken with almond flour and when I ate my chicken with ketchup, I got sick. But the next day I ate some gluten-free pork chops and applesauce, no sickness. Then I made my own mozzerella sticks (almond flour) and had marinara sauce and got sick. Then I made gluten-free pasta and it was rice noodles with just spaghetti sauce, got sick. then i ate an apple and cheese and was fine. The only consistent factor in my sickness is that I eat tomato based products. So I'm eliminating it and so far I'm a bit better. I have an ulcer from stress so I'm still not perfect but I have not thrown up since I eliminated tomatoes 3 days ago.

Is it possible I have developed a tomato allergy? Or is it possible that the tomatoes mixed with the ulcer react like that? I'd love some input on this. Please save the lectures about not eating. I try, and the depression is getting better.

You can develop food allergies anytime. Especially if you eat A LOT of one particular food.

I'm thinking you may be more on track with the ulcer/tomato problem. Have you tried eating a tomato in it's whole form, as opposed to the processed, broken down form of it? I do know that tomato sauce + ulcer = no good. Tomato sauces are very acidic, and don't mix well with an ulcer. Could be your body's way of getting it out quickly before it causes further aggravation.

I have not tried eating a regular unprocessed tomato. I have a few cherry tomatoes in the fridge...perhaps I will try a salad when I get home...The ulcer is also improving with the treatment so 2 theories can be tested at once...if I react, I will test again when the ulcer is gone. Not looking forward to getting sick again though...

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies.  Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      EXACTLY! I was asked yesterday on my LAST video call with Standford and I stated exactly yes absolutely this is why I need the name! One, get proper care, two, not get worse.Im falling apart, stressed out, in pain and just opened email from Stanford stating I was rude ect.I want that video reviewed by higher ups and see if that women still has a job or not.Im saying this because I've been medically screwed and asking for help because bills don't pay itself. This could be malpratice siit but im not good at finding lawyers

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
