hi everyone :)

i was wondering if i need to worry about cross contam with my other intolerances like i do with gluten? does anyone get sick from their food TOUCHING things like corn, soy, dairy, nightshades, peanuts, etc... or is that only a gluten thing? right now i'm being super crazy about gluten, and then just not eating things with my other intolerances in the ingredients. but not feeling 100% yet, so thought i would ask!

thanks!

How did you determine that you had those other intolerances? I found out that I am sensitive to very small amounts of gluten. I think that this is genetic. I found out that reactions that I was having that I was told were intolerances were actually due to traces of gluten. I found out that if I could get these items in a pure form, that I didn't react to them after all.

Do you know if you react to oats? If you do, then you have to be careful about oat cross contamination too.

I hope that you can start distance soon.

I have to be just as careful with soy as I do gluten. I'm pretty sensitive to small amounts of gluten, and the same with soy. Thankfully, the reaction soy gives me doesn't last nearly as long as a gluten one, but it makes me feel pretty gross for a couple of hours.

Although, I am one of those people that can handle soy lecithin, so, go figure :huh: So much of this is a trial and error, unfortunately.

I tested positive to soy protein. My doctor said I should be able to handle soy lecithin. Still, I'm scared to try anything that lists soy lecithin as an ingredient.

i noticed reactions to some of the intolerances (corn, peanut, soy, nightshades, rice) and the rest of the foods i'm avoiding (almonds, eggs, yeast, most nuts) showed up on an IgG test I had done from Immunolabs.

My Enterolabs results also said that i do in fact react to yeast, soy and dairy.

i too am super ultra sensitive to even a micro amount of gluten. i've really sworn off restaurants for now, i'll have to think about that again later...

so maybe for now i'll be super diligent about hidden corn and soy in products as well!

the other day at whole foods market i was buying veggies and grass-fed beef, and the checkout belt had flour all over it!! the poor employee did not understand why i started freaking out and handing the groceries straight to him :) haha

I ask the checkout lady to make sure that DH's bread is in its OWN bag, and I place it at the far end of the counter, and I put it away first thing when I get home, wash my hands, and then put the REST of the groceries away, lol.

My DS is severely allergic to milk, and we have to be just as careful about CC with that as with gluten. His aunt tried to give him bacon off her plate, and DH was like NO!! Don't do that!! LOL. They just don't get it...

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.
