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.

[Looking for answers]

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.
