Do I Need To Be As Worried About C.c. With Soy, Corn, Etc As Gluten?

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...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese. Sulfites cause a high histamine release. High histamine levels are found in migraine. Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet,...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
