Just wondering if anyone has Lectin intolerance?

I have been gluten free for 10 months maybe now and I still have syptoms, which seem to be linked to nightshades, dairy, soy, have read quite a bit of info on Lectin Intolerance and think this maybe the problem.

Love to hear form anyone with Lectin intolerance.

Thanks

Lisa

I've been struggling with lectin intolerance for several years. Just taking gluten-type foods out of my diet did not relieve all of the symptoms. When I follow my no-lectins-at-all diet, I have more energy and a lot of my symptoms go away. I have a good nutritionist who goes the extra mile helping find foods I can tolerate. Also a good naturopath.

There is some scientific research going on with this lectinism so keep researching yourself.

Maybe redo your food allergy panel. Sometimes it helps to visualize a 'Not Allowed' on paper to keep from eating that food. The blood diet can help but I'm not impressed with the anecdotal quality and the commercialism of the website/books.

Stick with whole foods - make your own soups, etc.

Watch out for hidden 'gluten's. They often put flour in with spices to keep them from caking. Look for whole spice grinders.

And, once in a while, have a 'not allowed' item. Mine is pizza (dairy,soy, wheat, etc!), but knowing I can have it every three months gives me some sanity.

Good luck,

Kathy

Hi Lisa:

Ever since your post I have been wondering about and reading about lectins. I gather it is possible to react to some but not all high-lectin foods?? Certainly I react to soy, corn and nightshades in a very negative manner, although now I have overcome my lactose intolerance, not dairy. I also tend to avoid legumes (I have a pantry full of beans and often find myself wondering why I avoid them; I believe it is a subconscious remembrance of bad reactions to them. For example, when I make my "taco-less" tacos, my husband has the refried beans but I don't :o And I used to love italian white bean salad but I never make it any more....and I never cook lentils any more. And yet I still get those nights when I am bloated with racing, erratic heart and absolutely miserable. Could it be the lectins? I am unable to associate the problem with any specific food and am wondering if it is food combinations or something else.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Interesting...I have a friend who is removing more and more foods from her diet and legumes is one of them. I never put it together with lectin however, am soy free and avoid soy lecithin at all costs. Like many I have gone lactose free which I found helpful. Thank goodness for Turtle Mountain Coconut milk products! Keep us posted I wish you luck and hope you feel better soon.

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.
