Apples And Peanuts

Muffy

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.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result. I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned? Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease...

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
