Anyone Reactive To Ginger?!?

I'm on a highly restrictive elimination diet. Been doing okay, except that most recently I've been experiencing cramping and diarrhea after eating tuna fish. My body's not used to so much fish, I think. I'm going to change over to mung beans.

Today I woke up and felt nauseous and generally yucky again. :(

The only thing I've added has been ginger tea (for the past 2 days). I cut up some ginger and boil it in a pot to make the tea. Could it be ginger? I thought ginger was supposed to be good for digestion, and recommended for elimination diets?

I don't react to ginger. However, I have diagnosed allergies to vanilla and nutmeg. I also have strong intestinal reactions after eating those. So you certainly could have an allergy to ginger. I was diagnosed by the ELISA (blood test) spice panel. Rather than using a very restrictive elimination diet, which might even contain some of your undiagnosed allergies, you could just get an IgG or IgA antibody allergy test for commonly eaten foods (which the ELISA offers). Then you wouldn't have to guess what's causing your reaction symptoms.

I don't know about reactions to ginger, but is the tuna you are eating soy-free? There are only a couple ones that are. So that might be something to look into as well.

Ginger is supposed to stop D and sooth your stomach so it seems unlikely. But then again if someone had told me a year ago that a piece of bread could make me sick I would have laughed at them. So anything is possible. :unsure:

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
