I have just found out I have intolerence to Dairy, wheat,Gluten, any of the nightshade family, Tuna and shrimp..

How do you make the move from eating everything in sight to having to avoid all kinds of foods. Tomato's, peppers and potato's were the staple part of my diet. I am not sure where to start, should I tackle each meal or go straight for cutting out these foods, I feel so overwhelmed by it all I really dont know where to start...

Any suggestions how did you go about making the changes...

Any advice would be good...

Unfortunately, you just have to suck it up and do it. I had a much longer list of intolerances, and it was hard, but it sure was worth giving them up! Now, 7 months later, I have no restrictions, except gluten. Feeling better is much worth it! Try to focus on what you CAN have instead of what you can't :D

Yup, you just have to jump right in. I've been doing an elimination diet for 60+ days. Soy, corn, legumes, dairy, wheat, seafood, nuts, strawberries. I've added gluten recently, and I'm giving nightshades a rest. I've been intolerant to spuds for a couple of years now and suspect I may have to limit the others. No fun really but it's gotten better. I have developed an auto-immune disorder and I'm being tested for more allergies later in the month. Hang in there and think of all you can eat.

Are you a celiac? I saw that you added gluten back in. Which auto-immune disorder did you develop?

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
