What Foods Are You Intolerant To?

I know there are a lot of people out there who have problems with dairy, corn, soy etc. I am wondering what your intolerances/allergies are. Have you had testing for these or do you just know through trial and error?

Even if you are only intolerant to gluten, please respond because I am trying to get a picture of how many people have multiple intolerances and how many just can't do gluten.

Soy, including soy lecithin

Potatoes and peppers (I tend to avoid the other nightshades too)

Citric acid

Caffeine

Non-organic beef

Gluten, soy, corn, rice, (all grains) red meat, shellfish, nightshades, cruciferous veggies, tapioca, and now, dairy :( . The last one upset me so much, losing my cheese...I had already given up cottage cheese and ice cream.

I also do not use high fructose corn syrup, caffeine, and very little sugar...only natural sugars in fruits.

Holy cow. What do you people eat? :(

To be honest, I eat a fairly healthy diet. Chicken breast, cod, talipia, tuna, peas, carrots, green beans, and many fruits, always fresh or packed in their own juice. I also use peanut butter, Skippy Naturals, or Jif Naturals...and I can eat Utz popato chips.

These's actually a lot left to eat--when I was first diagnosed, I found I was intolerant to dairy, corn and eggs in addition to the foods I listed in my post above.

Even then, I ate meats, poultry, walnuts and almonds, fruit, vegies (except legumes), white and sweet potatoes, Lay's Stax Chips, almond and rice milks--which were very useful in recipes, etc., olive oil, tea, rice. I used Enjoy Life foods, also. I even baked a little bit using rice flour and potato starch.

It took a while--I'm gluten-free for 4 years now, but I was gradually able to reintroduce eggs (in moderation--as part of a recipe), corn, and finally just recently dairy :D . I completely cut out the things I was sensitive to for well over 3 years.

I still can not tolerate legumes or tapioca--those I may never be able to eat since they cause me worse reactions than even gluten. I think I might actually be allergic to tapioca.....I stay far, far away..... :rolleyes:

Well, I eat all fresh meats - nothing processed, fish, fresh or frozen veggies, homemade yogurt with honey, all fresh and frozen fruit, (with no sugar or any additivies,) except for the few I'm allergic too. I snack on apples, carrots, olives, dill pickles, I also eat lots of onions - very good for the immune system.

I've never felt better and have tons of energy!

Dairy (cow & goat)

Eggs

Bakers Yeast

Brewers Yeast

Pinto Beans

Scallops

Clams

...the list goes on

I find it very challenging to stick to a gluten, dairy, & egg free diet. If anyone has any suggestions or recipes that they love, I am all ears!

Thanks,

Maria

Gluten

Dairy (casein)

Nitrates/ites

Sulfates/ites

MSG

Pistachios (maybe almonds too now)

Fibrous vegetables (like lettuce) unless cooked to death

Some food colors (reds and yellows)

I am down to fresh fruits, vegetables, fresh meats, potatoes, rice and legumes. The only processed gluten-free foods I buy are peanut butter, frozen waffles and gluten-free flour blends. I make my own sauces and dressings.

Gluten

Dairy lactose and casein (experimenting with it a little now though after 12 years)

carrots

coffee

tea

I avoid soy but don't have a reaction to it.

I rarely add sugar to anything.

Sulfites, I am still not positive about them.

Hayfever, scratch tested positive to trees and grasses and kitty cats and woofie dogs. However my allergies are much better now after being gluten-free.

Wow, so many people here react to so many foods!

I have intolerances to:

gluten

soy - I believe this caused my blunted villi, so not sure if this would make it an allergy or not.

dairy

dates

and trying to figure out if I have an intolerance to legumes? I react (GI symptoms) to peanut butter and hummus (in addition to soy) and someone just mentioned that the connection could be legumes.

Jerseyangel (or anyone) - can I ask how you react to legumes and how you figured out it was that whole family you react to?

I found out yesterday from allergy skin testing that I'm allergic to: beef, lamb, pork, egg, milk, wheat, rye, grapefruit, orange, lettuce, cabbage, potato, celery, green pepper, peaches, strawberry, and mustard. I've been wheat free and dairy light (only butter) for a year now so the rest won't be so bad except eggs and potatoes.

I react to legumes with severe nausea and stomach pain. The nausea is overwhelming, and really sets me back for a day or two.

I figured it out by process of elimination. Unfortunately, it didn't occur to me at the time that green beans were actually legumes too, so it was a while before I cut them out completely. When I did, the difference was remarkable.

Still trying to pinpoint my other intolerances. So far:

Soy

Casein

Chocolate (tried chocolate again last night....makes my heart race)

MSG

Vinegar

Peanut butter (maybe???)

Caffeine

I'm still in the process, it's been frustrating and tricky. My other intolerances cause my heart to race, which completely wipes me out. What's funny is that I've been gluten free for over 2 years now, I didn't expect other intolerances to pop up this late! Right now I'm just sticking with fresh food w/out spices or sauces, it's a bit boring, but better than being sick.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
