Fish Allergy?

rain

Recommended Posts

Over this past week rotisserie chicken and fish have given me stomach aches. The ache is manageable but coupled with bloating and constipation. Plus I get that still hungry feeling that leads to the perpetual snacking. It seems to last about 8 hours.

Is this another food intolerance? I don't think it's a proper allergy because just a few weeks ago these same foods were clearly my 'safe' foods. Or is it something about how I'm eating them? Has anyone else gone thru this?

Another thought I had was that it was too many calories at one sitting (about 600 - 200 for fish, 300 for rice and vegetables and I always tack on an extra 100 for oil, etc).

Thanks for your thoughts!

If you got your chicken already cooked at the grocery it may have wheat in it. Kroger's cooked chicken in the deli has wheat. I have only found cooked chicken with seasonings at Safeway and Costco. If your fish was seasoned or if you bought it in a bag there might be wheat in the seasoning or floured to keep it from sticking together. It's everywhere and I am so over it. Just got home from the grocery and a single trip takes me at least an hour because of reading the labels. I also have an intolerance to soy so I and I still have lactose intolerance so I really have to read the labels for everything. I love it when they say gluten, soy and dairy free right on the package. Makes life easier.

I agree.

Rotisserie chicken was my "go to" food the first few weeks I was recovering but I realized after a couple of chickens...it must not be safe.

I just forget about fast food.

A raw chicken goes in the oven and is done in an hour.

That is our fast food now.

Another thing might be if they use vegetable oil on the chicken...it is usually soy.

You might be sensitive to soy.

I wouldn't think the calories would make your stomach hurt.

I agree--it's probably not the chicken or fish--it's the PREPARATION.

I cannot do soy either. I emailed the supermarkets we get ours from and both registered nutritionists on staff PROMISED me that no soy or gluten was used in the preparation of the rotisserie chickens or turkeys...but now, you have me wondering....because I sure as heck am not feeling any better....!!

arrgh...there goes another food ...LOL (but not really funny).... can I swear? good..(*&^$#! :D

I like the idea about soy in the rotisserie. The fish I prepared at home but I've been cooking it from frozen (per the instruction) rather than thawing..maybe that's it?

I have noticed though, that this week I can eat lentil and other bean varieties with no problem. And that had been a big problem before, I hadn't been able to digest it. So I think I'm going to chalk this up to another phase in my digestion healing. I guess I just wait a bit and see if the meat is a problem then.

Thanks!

Good for you that you are adding foods back in that were a problem before!

I am still in the "what now?" phase of healing where I cannot tell from day to day what will make me feel lousy.

So, hooray for you---eat up, girl, and enjoy!! (oops. I shouldn't assume that)...eat up, rain!:>)

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies. Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.
