Gluten, Dairy, Eggs, Red Meat, Sesame

I am an experienced celiac who's used to eating strictly gluten-free. I just found out that I am also allergic to dairy, eggs, beef, lamb, and sesame. Suspicious of soy.

Can anyone recommend cookbooks? Stores? Websites? And most of all, protein bars? I am hypoglycemic and sometimes need a quick fix. Thanks!

Hey! I am so with you! I had the ELISA allergy testing in March and discovered allergies to eggs, dairy and sesame. Unfortunately, I had the vegetarian allergy panel done because I didn't think that people could really be allergic to meat :rolleyes: (duh!) Now I am seriously wondering if I may have a beef allergy also. My doctor suggested it when I first received my test results and I avoided beef for about a month, but then started eating it again. I've been eating a lot of it lately and am in a lot of pain lately. So, she might not have been as wacko as I thought ;) In fact, in my allergy info packet it says, "If you are sensitive to several dairy products, the diet plan may also suggest that you avoid beef, since beef and dairy are both in the bovine family." Ugh. One more food I should probably cut out.. :(

Anyway (happy thoughts, happy thoughts) here are some links that might be helpful to you if you are attempting to shop online:

Something else that you will probably find helpful is this nifty little substitution guide for eggs, dairy, corn & wheat (not that you need the corn - but, hey, it's on the substitution list): Open Original Shared Link

I recently hooked up with the Open Original Shared Link website and they have a *ton* of recipes. But, they don't have a lot of casein/dairy free recipes and no egg free recipes. I am learning how to tweak them though and recently created a sour cream banana bread with their help that is also egg & dairy free. And it rocks! My no-allergy friends think I should sell it :) Let me know if you'd like the recipe :)

Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone ;) Good luck to you! Keep in touch (feel free to email me) :)

Hey Michelle -

I've heard that for some people sensitive to beef, having buffalo instead is ok. I know this is true of buffalo milk mozeralla for those lactose intolerant. We have been buying ground buffalo at the store for a while now - does not have a gamey taste or anything - almost just like ground beef, but better. And it's a little lower fat, plus grass, not grain fed, and more nutritious.

Just a thought.

I just borrowed this book from the library - "Special Diet Solutions: Healthy Cooking without Wheat, Gluten, Dairy, Eggs, Yeast, or Sugar" By Carol Fenster, Ph.D.

also "Special Diet Celebrations: No Wheat, Gluten, Dairy, or Eggs" again by Carol Fenster.

Lot's of info plus practical advice and the recipes, of course.

:lol: Thank you all! This is such fantastic info.!

Yes, I am allergic to beef and lamb. I don't eat red meat anyway except for pork. So it's not a big deal except that you have to avoid pork sausage in sheep casings and gelatin.

You're not nuts, get tested. My naturopath said exactly what you just did, it's in the bovine family. If you can't eat the products that come from cows, why on earth would you be able to eat the cow too?

Keep the information coming! Thanks a million!

Even the bad things are better than they used to be. Bad music, for instance, has gotten much briefer. Wagner's Ring Cycle takes four days to perform while "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" by the Crash Test Dummies lasts little more than three minutes. –P.J. O'Rourke

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By trents · Posted

      @LynnM, when you say, "today, his numbers were high", what numbers do you refer to? Are you speaking of celiac antibody scores? Can you be more specific and can you post the test names, the numbers and the reference ranges for the tests? So, I am understanding you to say that topical exposure to gluten doesn't cause him GI reactions but ingestion of gluten does but at the same time you are attributing the "high numbers" to the topical exposure?

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had blood work and my hemoglobin, hematocrit, protein and alkaline phosphatase were all low. They have never been low in the past but since august of last year I have been on the in and off gluten rollercoaster as I mentioned in previous posts. Should I be concerned with these new findings? I am worried I have made myself really sick and done damage or something this past year

      Thank you Scott. My son doesn't have a reaction topically, only when ingested. Interestingly though, the doc told us the face cream getting gluten into his bloodstream doesn't do the damage akin to when gluten is ingested. He had no reaction when using the face cream, it only presented in blood-work. I'm hopeful from all the comments today and will wait for the GI doc to reply. If he is cleared to use it, I will encourage SHIELD to get a gluten-free certification

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s great that you’re taking the time to research products carefully for your son with celiac disease—especially since accidental gluten exposure through skincare can be a real concern for sensitive individuals. Based on the ingredient lists you’ve shared, none of the products appear to contain obvious sources of gluten like wheat, barley, or rye derivatives. Ingredients like glycerin and tocopherols (not listed here but often a concern) can sometimes be derived from wheat, but many manufacturers use plant-based or synthetic sources. SHIELD’s transparency and willingness to share their full ingredient list is a good sign, and their note about not intentionally adding gluten is reassuring. Still, because ingredient sourcing can vary and sensitivities differ from person to person, it’s wise that you’ve reached out to your GI specialist to be sure these products are safe for your son’s specific needs. In the meantime, if you do try any of the products, consider patch-testing them first and watching closely for any signs of skin irritation or reactions. PS - Most people with celiac disease won't react to skin products that may contain gluten, but I still recommend finding gluten-free products.

      Greetings Trents and Scott. This is the first time I'm posting here so I apologize in advance if I'm not replying properly. My 13 YO was diagnosed at age 5 and once gluten was removed from his diet, he grew 3" in a year, skin became much better and dark circles around his eyes disappeared. Today his numbers were very high and our new dietician discovered his face cream (Clinique dramatically different lotion) contained gluten. My fault for not checking.    His acne really has only just started and he's using OCT gluten-free products but the SHIELD is nothing short of miraculous for my 16 YO son and the 13 YO is eager to start. I will await his dietician's reply or google each ingredient.    I don't want to put him on that Rx as it's not that bad and isn't painful either. Just a boy starting 8th grade and doesn't want bad acne.    When I hear back I will circle back.
