If you are allergic to these things you should NOT be eating them! For allergy testing you don't need the things in your system like with the celiac antibody testing. I came up as allergic to wheat a month ago even thoguh I have been gluten-free (and therefore wheat free) for the past 18 months. I really think you need to call him and ask him if by "eat normally" he meant that your should eat these things you are allergic to. I doubt very much that's what he meant since he also told you to get rid of the cat and clean well to help with your environmental allergens. Allergies can get much worse if you keep eating the thing syoua re allergic to. If they are not yet dangerous they may turn dangerous at anytime. I had an anaphylactic dairy reaction pop up this year and I have eaten dairy all my life but always suspected a "mild" allergy becaus eit used to make me congested. Please don't mess around with your health by eating the things you are allergic to unless you get clarification from your dr. that these are very mild allergies. And even if they are mild now they could turn dangerous at anytime if you keep eating them....

not to worry i am staying far away from soy that is quite a trigger that causes my throat to close my voice to go

i am not sure but i am thinking that fresh straberries or tomatoes are causeing hives probally both i have been eating the straberries today and have been breaking out in hives all day not pritty

so ill be staying away from that food

and the past couple of days i have been eating tomato based foods and been having hives pop up badly

i am happy that i tested that i am allergic to wheat so i can stick it in the mother in law's face to say see i am allergic to gluten :)

Have you checked your personal care products (lotions, shampoo, make-up, etc) for the things you are allergic to? I got hives from using lotion that had wheat germ oil in it. Soy is also used in a lot lotions and things in the form of vitamin E or Tocopherols.

i have checked some i relized that one of the lip glosses i use has soy in it so that got tossed out

i dont know about the other stuff i use there is no ing list on the makup

just checked the olay ing and dont see anything but im thining im so new at this i could be missing it my eyes are not trained yet to spot the bad ing

Make up and lotions are hard to read the ingredients because there are no laws saying allergens have to be labeled for non-food items. They can hide soy or wheat in tocopherols, mixed tococpherols or vitamin E and many other things. You may want to write to the companies of the products you use to find out if they are safe.

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      These are labeled gluten-free: https://www.amazon.com/Corn-Husks-Tamales-Authentic-Flavorful/dp/B01MDSHUTM/

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.
