Ok, so as it stands

Known issues with

Soy

Gluten (obv)

Lactose

and the worst one is Fructose Malabsorbtion (do you know how many delicious thing's that takes off the table)

Is there, by any chance, a book or online guide to recipes for such an intolerant person, Perhaps I'm just healing.

However I do need to stay Monk style for a while, when I eat badness it isn't just awe dayum for a night It get's me for like 2 days and the third being iffy.

Have you actually been tested ? You can sub rice milk, almond milk,vance's dairy free, better than milk for any dairy in recipes. There are many recipes on this

site plus you can google & you will find other sites that have gluten-free, df, cf....... all articial sweetners make me sick plus most of them are BAD for your intestinal tract anyway. I do not do soy either....the non-gluten free people at my house love vanilla almond breeze for the morning cereal....

Tested, Negative, Only for celiac disease and that was positive and high first try.

Gastro app is on march 1st, screw going back on gluten the difference was obvious enough.

As for Fructose malabsorbtion and soy, those are based off how I felt after having things like soybean oil or soy lecathin or however that's spelt, and I had a small bowl of fruit one night, and the big bad D the next day, and my stomach wasn't to happy, then similar weird feelings from a bowl of jello... I mean really if jello does it that's sensitive =/

um from what I read It seems like intolerance testing is only at city hospitals I doubt I can here (I live in the sticks) but I do plan on trying to get tested, ugh and I know how you feel, when my cousins come down they GORGE themselfs on candy and chocolate and *tear* mint icecream..well ok I made that up I just have it sit there and look at the ice cream..got it at xmas >_> pre diagnoses oh the irony, got a HUGE pile of xmas candy all my favs cannot have any -.-

someone once told me to concentrate on what I CAN eat not what I cant.

Do you have a SAFE foods list?? (Foods that you know are safe for you to eat)

For me ,,right now the safest way for me to eat is very very plain simple meals

I dont know of a book or recipe site that would be helpful but I will watch this thread HOPING someone could suggest one

For fructose malabsorption, this is a list of safe foods, in a nice chart format:

Open Original Shared Link

However, some other possibilities?

- What fruit did you eat when you got D? Apples, pears, and most citrus have wax coatings that are made from shellac wax, which has either soy or casein added to it! (when you cut into the citrus, if you are REALLY sensitive, the knife will pick up a little of what's on the peel and carry it into the fruit as you cut in.) So, the fruit could actually be soy, too! I believe there are some other fruits and veggies that might use shellac, but there are other waxes, too, and I only know the exact one for the above three. I know that some sprays for produce, preservative, fertilizers and such have gluten cc - I wonder how many have soy cc, too? If you react to the soy oil, I would think you may be very sensitive.

- It might be worth your while trying to find some sites for people with soy allergies - they tend to be really good about showing you hidden sources of soy, ya know? Although I'd go for the forums/personal blogs. They are a LOT more motivated due to personal interest. The doctor sites tend to be pretty, well, unaware about the REALLY hidden soy. For example, I found this, just on the first try (not so helpful, but just basic)

"Soy Allergy: Avoid These Ingredients

* edamame

* miso

* mono-diglyceride

* natto (Japanese fermented soybeans)

* tofu (soybean curds)

* okara (soy pulp)

* soya, soja, soybean, soyabean

* soy protein (isolate / concentrate)

* tempeh

* TSF (textured soy flour)

* TSP (textured soy protein)

* TVP (textured vegetable protein)*

* yuba (tofu skin)

* Textured vegetable protein can come from different vegetable sources, including soy.

You may also see the words "soy lecithin" on a label. Soy lecithin is a soy fat, not protein, and is often tolerated by those allergic to the soy protein. However, in some

circumstances, very sensitive individuals can react to it."

(from Open Original Shared Link)

- also, something to look out for is there is a lot of fraud going on with olive oil right now, where cheap soy oil is being substituted with a dye, instead. If you react to an olive oil, you may want to assume soy and try another one, at first.

- for jello - it doesn't have fructose, but sucrose, so that'd be sugar cane. However, many celiacs have more trouble with dyes and preservatives, so that might be more of the issue, ya know? Or you have trouble with fructose and sucrose, both.

Good luck to you!

Sadly I don't, that is why I turned to here, but I guess I will have to just "bea tuffy" and deal with it, all I eat atm is like plain chicken, plain roast beef, and canned chicken >_> I've been eating mccains shoestring, they seem to be ok, but I'm dealing with some sort of stomach issue so often lately I really can't tell =/

Mom decided to make toffy -.- and I decided to try it, was fine till the next day and the day after -.-

I really don't know how people deal with this it's driving me nuts.

90% of my meals consist of poultry and veggies. At this point I'm quite happy with it.

Have you looked at the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SPD)? Many people on this site follow it. Open Original Shared Link

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable. The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body. So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days. Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte...

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine. Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine. Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats. Meat, especially organ...

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Thanks again for the detailed explanation. Just to clarify, I actually did have my initial tests done while I was still consuming gluten. I stopped eating gluten only after those tests were completed, and it has now been about 70 days since I went gluten-free. I understand the limitations around diagnosing NCGS and the importance of antibody testing and biopsy for celiac disease. Unfortunately, where I live, access to comprehensive testing (including total IgA and endoscopy with biopsy) is limited, which makes things more complicated. Your explanation about small-bowel damage, nutrient absorption, and iron-deficiency anemia still aligns closely with my history, and it’s been very helpful in understanding what may be going on. I don't wanna get Endoscopy and I can't start eating Gluten again because it's hurt really with severe diarrhea.  I appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed and informative guidance. Thank you so much for this detailed and thoughtful response. I really appreciate you pointing out the relationship between anemia and antibody patterns, and how the high DGP IgG still supports celiac disease in my case. A gluten challenge isn’t something I feel safe attempting due to how severe my reactions were, so your suggestion about genetic testing makes a lot of sense. I’ll look into whether HLA testing is available where I live and discuss it with my doctor. I also appreciate you mentioning gastrointestinal beriberi and thiamine deficiency. This isn’t something any of my doctors have discussed with me, and given my symptoms and nutritional history, it’s definitely worth raising with them. I’ll also ask about correcting deficiencies more comprehensively, including B vitamins alongside iron. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to help. I’ll update the forum as I make progress.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
