Just Starting The Process

I'm just now starting the process of trying to figure out what is going on w/my body. I just got results from food allergy tests, and the only thing I reacted to were egg whites. My MD suspects gallbladder, but after reading about issues w/the gallbladder, I tend to think it's more food related. I've just started an elimination diet and meet w/a nutritionist next week. Yesterday was an awesome day! It was the first day I've been pain and gas free. It was wonderful. Can't say the same about today. I ate pretty much the exact same breakfast and lunch. However, this afternoon was very painful. I kind of think that my body probably needs time to get rid of decades of ick. Anyway, I'm hopeful. I'd love to hear your beginning experiences. Am I right to think that it will take a while to get my body at a fairly neutral state? I was just so hopeful because yesterday was wonderful. One more thing - eating my new "natural" diet, I am not hungry. I'm stunned! I've eliminated starch and refined sugar. It's amazing how I'm simply not hungry. It's a real first!

TIA for your insight, sharing, and wisdom.

Lynn

:ph34r: I'm sorry to tell you but you can have a gall bladder problem and Celiac. My gall bladder was making me really sick and it definately was better or worse depending on what I ate. :ph34r:

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?

      I only notice recently every time I eat green beans the roof of my mouth gets slightly itchy and I get extreme dizziness.     I get shaky and sweaty and it last for an hour or two before it goes away. I’ve been allergy tested in the past for food allergens only two came back positive (both in the tree-nut family) nothing in the legumes.   (I do have a celiac disease diagnosis, the reason I was food allergy tested was because I ate a walnut and my lips swelled up)  I decided to test this out to be sure so I ate a couple of cooked green beans last night within 15 minutes I was spinning, my shirt drenched in sweat. My heart racing.   I’m not sure what this is, I do have issues with others vegetables  as my stomach doesn’t seem to tolerate them. Even when they’re cooked I just can’t digest them but they never made me as dizzy and sweaty as the green beans.    anyone else experience this?

      I have found that in addition to gluten, I am sensitive to inulin/chicory root fiber. I wondered why I had gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking a Chobani yogurt drink - much like being glutened. Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc.  For the holidays, I will only be baking gluten-free treats. I got rid of all gluten-containing flours, mixes and pastas in my kitchen. Much easier to avoid cross-contamination that way!
