Prevent Other Allergies ?

Is there anyway to prevent becoming intolerant to other things such as diary? Is there something you could tell me now that you wish you would have known before hand? And let's say I'm intolerant to dairy or corn etc. already, is it doing damage to my gut and the villi? Or is it just I have to put up with the consiquinces but it's not damaging anything?

This may be a dumb question, I just don't want to lose everything and I'm trying to understand the difference between being allergic and being intolerant. It would be if it's doing damage correct?

You've asked a lot of questions, but I'll give you a tip on one thing I wish I had known...

Don't eat the same thing every day. When I first went gluten-free, I started eating apples and peanut butter for lunch every day. I did this for a long time. Now I'm intolerant to peanut butter. :-(

Vary your diet.

Also, allergy and intolerance are different. You should look up allergy and see what consequences are involved in eating something you're allergic to. For me, I am allergic to nuts and I get hives, stuffy nose, my throat swells, I get eczema, and my doc says I could possibly get anaphylaxis and need to use my epi-pen. An allergy has those kinds of symptoms, an intolerance doesn't. But an intolerance can be just as severe... your body reacts differently than if you were allergic.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By lmemsm · Posted

      With that many foods removed from your diet, what do you eat?  I also have histamine issues and migraines so that takes out certain trigger foods and high histamine vegetables.  Have allergies to coconut and issues with nuts so those are out.  I'm beginning to think I may have to remove dairy and some of the grains beyond wheat to get allergies under control.  Just having so many issues figuring out what to make at meal times.  What's a typical breakfast look like for you?  Thanks.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      @Healthforme, No prescription needed for thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide).  They are available over the counter.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not recommended because the body doesn't absorb or utilize it well.

      Help with genetic testing

      HLA-DQ2 is NOT a continuum 2.01 to 2.99, but I don’t understand HLA genetics well enough to explain it further.  It is not just one gene that is either this or that.

      Help with genetic testing

      Okay, I'm taking a guess here. We are used to hearing in layman terms that having either the HLA-DQ2 or the HLA-DQ8 gene, either heterozygous or homozygous, presents the possibility of developing active celiac disease. So, I'm guessing that the HLA-DQ2 gene is actually a range of variants (2.01-2.99) with HLA-DQ 2.5 being in the centerpiece of the range. I'm also guessing that "permissive" is equivalent to "possessing the possibility" to develop active celiac disease and does not address the issue of hetero vs. homozygus per se. But the fact that 2.01,2.01 is a couplet may indicated homozygousity? All wild guesses.
