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...
