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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
