Fairly New Celiac And More Intolerances

I have been gluten-free for 8 weeks, also have an allergy to nightshades.

I was thinking dairy was causing a bit of tummy problems as after I had cheese one day my tummy didnt feel the best, but that may have not been the cause.

I went soy, just over a week ago and this week my skin is awful I have been breaking out in an awful pimple rash on my face and my head is killing me, feel quite brain fogged my tummy has been fine, could this be the Soy? Now I just don't know what to do any suggestions? I feel so limited with foods I can eat and I don't really know if it was the dairy or soy or even both. Its hard to find things that are gluten, dairy and soy and nightshade free.

My GP said my blood test didn't show any allergies but I know that some food is still bothering me.

I am tired have a headache and feeling sorry for myself and not sure what to eat. I eat gluten free biscuits etc more than I should just because they are handy in the kitchen and I have not felt up to cooking.

I am tempted to go to the advanced allergy elimination to check it out. Even if it doesnt work I have more of an idea what allergies are present.

Thanks

Lisa :)

It could well be the soy, Lisa. It is a fairly common additional intolerance. I found a lot of gluten-free processed foods have soy as a substitute; things like cookies, sausages, etc., and now you are substituting soy for dairy apparently. I had enormous problems with soy after going gluten free, now can't even eat chocolate because of the soy lecithin.

If I were you I would cut out the soy and switch to almond or hemp milk (or a gluten free rice milk if that floats your boat). I know it is hard, believe me, to find things free of all these things you mention; mostly you have to concoct your own.

Your idea of doing the advanced elimination diet sounds good if you can do it; it is the surest way of finding out what is bothering you if you haven't already figured it out.

Thanks for the reply,

What are some foods that contain soy, I am so new to this. Soy was something I never thought about till now.

Soy is as insidious as gluten in the number of places it can hide and its different guises. To start with, soy flour is often used in gluten free products. Soy bean oil is used in lots of dressings and processed foods. Hydrolyzed vegetable protein is soy. Here is a list of other names for soy:

Edamame

Kinako

Kouridofu

Miso

Mono-diglyceride

Natto

Nimame

Okara

Soya, soja, soybean, soyabeans

Soy protein (isolate/concentrate), vegetable protein

Tempeh

Textured soy flour (TSF), textured soy protein (TSP), textured vegetable protein (TVP)

Tofu (soybean curds)

Yuba

You would probably also want to avoid MSG and don't forget soya lecithin.

Enjoy Life chocolate chips are soy and gluten free if you are a chocolate lover like me.

When I first went gluten free I was so busy looking for gluten on the labels I neglected to look for soy and got into a lot of trouble because I had mostly (but not fanatically) avoided soy up to that time. I broke out in this ginormous, itchy redness all over my neck, chest and back and scratched for weeks until the good folks here suggested it might be soy. Yep, it was. May not be for you, but it's worth a try. Good luck.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes...

Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. 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.

I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.
