Apples And Peanuts

I eat a lot of apples and peanut butter (ground unbleached peanuts only) - usually with blue or blackberries. This is my fallback meal and I love it. However, I have heard about people having issues with high fructose fruits and peanuts as they heal. I am either becoming intolerant as well or I am getting glutenized somehow. Something is getting through...

My concern is that I might develop a sudden peanut allergey (I have a history of coming down with food allergies all of a sudden). And since I eat so much of it I am thinking that would be a bad scene indeed. Is there anyone out there who went gluten-free and then suddenly became intolerant to peanuts? Would be interested in sharing that experience?

Thanks!

Sounds yummy!

Some people seem to be ok with repetitive diets however,

We have learned that we(my son and I)tend to become allergic to things that we eat often or alot of. I have learned to recognize the symptoms and testing confirms my hunches. We originally found out about all our food allergies, which we were initially quite suprized by, as part of a large panel of skin testing for food allergies. I went in with a suspicion that kiddo might have one and I wanted to figure out what was going on with me and dairy and we came out with a whole long list for each of us. I'm working on avoiding getting new allergies by rotating foods and trying new recipes to help with variety. If that doesn't work, I'll have to pursue other things. I suspect leaky gut. I should mention too that this came after being gluten-free for over 2 years for me, although I don't know how long I had those allergies before they were DX. It was discovered not long after I had gone low-carb and further limited my diet. I started eating lots more nuts and low and behold became allergic to almonds! I had been tested right around the time I went low-carb and nuts were neg.Now we get tested every year for the foods to keep an eye on them. Some allergies we have been able to ditch by avoiding them for a while, others have stayed around so we are avoiding them for a longer period of time to see if we can lessen the reactivity or ditch them. For the almonds, after avoiding them for a year, my test is neg. and I can eat them again without symptoms so I am trying not to overconsume this time so that I can keep them in my diet. My son is not so fortunate, peanuts and tree nuts were initially pos. for him. Peanuts continue to be pos. on every test. Tree nuts were neg this time, after avoiding for 2 years so we tested the waters and tried them again, according to a carefully controlled schedule and portion but he got symptoms so they are out.

ive developed Fructose Malabsorption over the last 2 years (before i went gluten free)-> in fact, ive noticed issues with pears over the last 2 years.

and Peanuts & some legumes-> i have had issues and have avoided for my whole adult life- way before gluten free... they rip me up.

Another issue with nuts and seedy things(like blackberries, tomatoes etc.) are that they are more difficult to digest and can be irritating to compromised intestine. Folks with various GI conditions have trouble with them.

Thanks!

The thing is that I already 'knew' that I was eating too repetitivley and that the fructose was proabably an issue. I do on occasion get a funny tummy with a pear and I ate myself into both the tomato and mango allergies. Argh.

It's time to have them each alone, see what happens, and start from there. Thanks for the reality check, my addiction to the apple/pb combo has been clouding my judgement. wink.gif

I'm like you...if I consume too much of one food, I will build a intolerance or allegy to them. I also ate myself into problems with nuts, Eggs, avocado and something in my brown rice protein shakes. Rotation diets are key for folks like us, and we need to address our leaky gut a which I havent been successful in doing so.

Don't beat yourself up too much. I ate my way into a pumpkin and chocolate allergy as well. Sigh..........with so may restrictions for me it's bound to happen. Eventually I have to figure out a way to prevent it, if that's possible. Our bodies are such a challenge to maintain...

Good for you for being aware of your body's needs/challenges. One thing I've learned/am still learning is to not be afraid to trust my instincts, even though it seems like I live in a crazy alternate universe.

I did it - I ate apples with peanut butter almost everyday for over 2 years and now I can't tolerate peanut butter. Damn. It causes flare-up of eczema and respiratory issues.

I'm okay with apples, though.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

      A little about me and my celiac disease

      By trents · Posted

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
