Does Having Other Food Allergies Do Damage Also?

Since I'm new to this I have a question..... I have taken gluten completely out of my diet and I feel 90% better, but sometimes I get major D after I've eaten something that I know doesn't contain gluten so I'm thinking maybe I have an allergy to soy/soy lecithin. If I continue to eat those foods containing soy & I do have an allergy to it, will it still do damage to my intestines like if I'm eating gluten?

I can deal with a little upset stomach, but I don't won't to continue to do damage if that's what it is doing.

soy would be an allergy to soy not an autoimmune disease as celiac.

... soy is one of the major allergrens...but it will not blunt your villi to my knowledge.

But casein (dairy) is also digested at the tips of the villi.. You may want to test for dairy intolerance

Also since you are new to the gluten-free diet please understand that healing doesn't happen overnight. It can take two years to completely heal the damaged villi.even longer for some , less time for others

As you become more awear of your body or what it is telling you , you may find other things that do not agree with you besides gluten... for instance some people have trouble with nightshade veggies, corn products....

as the body heals itself you may have ups & downs where you feel great today & the next day is a total train wreck. hth

If you read this article (it is in PDF format and would not let me excerpt) : Open Original Shared Link, it states that soy protein as well as cow's milk protein can cause villous blunting.

Eosinophilic disorders of the gastro. track are also caused by food "triggers". It is the person's own immune system attacking normal tissue.

It is currently having an explosion of diagnoses in children and adults.

My daughter's diagnoses is Eosinophilic Esophagitus (she was diagnosed probable celiac 4 years before). Her esophagus was covered in cream pus like speckles, furrowed (deep grooves of damage in the inflamed tissue), ringed with strictures, and in some areas almost swollen shut.

Yes. Having other food "allergies" causes damage. She tested negative to everything she was allergy tested for. We have found she can not have eggs, fish, shellfish, and peas. She has been gluten free since she was 17 months old too.

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?
