What Food Intolerances Do You Have Along With Celiac Disease?

I called The Coeliac Society, which is Australian. I was telling them how I am CONSTANTLY getting the symptoms coming back that I had before I was diagnosed, except they are 10 times worse.

The lady was lovely and she suggested that I see a dietician and do an elimination diet.

It just got me wondering, what are you guys unable to eat along with gluten?

For me, it is dairy and soy. That's what I have figured out so far. Soy is sneaky; it's in many things, like mayo, canned tuna.......you have to be even MORE diligent in reading labels than we already are. Just when you think you are doing well, along comes another food saboteur!

My list is rather lengthy and it all hit about the same time...suddenly at age 47. Glutens, dairy, nuts, eggs, beans and rice. I have gotten where I can do rice in a very limited amount and only occasionally. And I can do Lactaid milk and an occasional few bites of fresh mozzeralla and brie. I think the Lactaid helps with that.

Dairy and soy for both my daughters and I plus egg yolks and sweet potatoes for my youngesst and high fructose corn syrup (or too much sugar in general) for me and both my girls get moody when they have artificial colorings and my oldest gets an upset stomach with too many preservatives now that we eat mostly whole foods.

For me it Dairy,soy, Citric Acid, and high Fructose/ high sugar. Yeah... It really sucks. High quantities of Corn also make my stomach very uncOmfortable. I can have a little but not munch on more than 1/4 cup of Corn-based Cereal

Corn, soy, nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, peppers), legumes (all dried or fresh beans/peas/lentils), citrus. Can now do lactose again and one slice of bread made with some potato starch every four days (I finally got to try Udi's!!)

I reacted to all sorts of things. It was really hard to figure out what was going on. The list of things that I might be intolerant to got longer and longer. The reactions felt the same as my gluten reaction. Finally I realized that it was all gluten, just vey tiny amounts. If I sourced my foods more carefully I was able to tolerate all the things that I had thought I might be intolerant to. I'm a big gardener now. It is something to consider.

I had a food intolerance blood test done 2 years ago, it came back with 45 different things. Certain spices and herbs, almost all grains (except 3), all dairy (including casien and goat), whole eggs, and a few here and there things. I did better excluding them. Then I started again eating 'normal' got ill and continued until the celiac test. Now I'm back to them especially since I was diagniosed with celiac. The major ones are grains, dairy, eggs and gluten.

I've learned that I can't have dairy.. hoping to never add another to that list.. Two's bad enough.. I already miss cheese! (dairy free since Sat, but had some cheese on lunch yesterday and regret it now. It makes me bloated with gassy feelings.. can't sleep) It's actually what made me think I have Celiac instead of just a gluten intolerance.

Eggs and almonds both IGG delayed reactions. I plan on getting tested every 6 mo or at least once a year from now on.

At first it seemed like everything except meat and seafood caused problems but after three years gluten-free, I've narrowed it down to fruit and alcohol. I've added fruit back in but I have to be very careful not to overdo it. I finally just gave up on alcohol so I haven't had a drop in over a year now.

I still have problems at times so I suspect this is going to be an ongoing process.

Gluten and corn so far (I think). I don't know about soy yet because I haven't touched any since June 5th. I seemed to have a D reaction the last couple of times I ate yams. I have been eating cheese without any apparent problems. Eggs too.

All in all, I don't really know yet. :huh:

I am intolerant of all grains, all milk & dairy products (including casein and whey), egg whites, yeast, maltodextrin & modified food starch. So, I am able to eat meat, fruits & vegetables.

Something to consider: I am lucky enough to have a Chiropractor/Nutritionist/Wellness clinic very near to me. They do everything from detox to physical therapy to counseling to acupuncture to nutrition evals etc. They claim they can "heal the total body" and they are amazing!!! The nutritionist (NOT a dietian, sooooooo much more) at this specific office can do a blood test that literally tests your blood to see how it reacts with 300 different allergens and known irritants (from mustard to gluten to diary to mushrooms etc). He also has several techniques to healing and recovering a body from a storm of autoimmune and allergen reactions. I've always believed that when you are exposed to something you react to for too long your body starts to think other things are trying to attack it as well. Most of the celiac people i know in person seem to suffer more with other irritants/allergens if it took longer to be diagnosed. Consider a detox/cleanse monitored by a chiropractor or nutritonist. Also consider a plain whole food/organic diet for a few months to see if you can calm your body down. Perhaps things you react to now may go away/heal with the right diet and nutrients.

My official allergies are: soy, dairy, potatoes, egg yolks and egg whites, chicken, some legumes, sugarcane, and coffee.

I dropped them all, and since then, I get noticeably sick with all of them, no matter the source, so far.

On top of that, all grains make me ill, especially corn. However, since going gluten-free, I've discovered I'm super sensitive like DilettanteSteph, so I'm a unsure if it is the grains themselves, or gluten cc. I am growing some of them, like the corn, in my own yard so I can determine whether the food itself or gluten cc is the problem.

I highly suspect I react to certain pesticides too, as I have started to have headaches and a few other issues with some fruits and vegetables that are typically grown with a high pesticide load. These are not my normal gluten reactions, and they don't happen if I grow the food in my own backyard, so I'm guessing it has to be something added to the plant during the farming process, you know?

Oh, and I will say - a dietician helped me quite a bit, but she was the second one I tried. The first was sweet, but not very useful. If you find one, you'll want one who is well versed in allergies and the food industry, so she'll know what you need to avoid to truly eliminate something.

Some examples: Dairy is added to latex products. White rice is often polished with corn products. Baking powder can contain potato starch. Salt has anti-caking agents.

If you don't have a dietician who knows these types of things, you won't get as much help as you should.

Cheese is another product that may have corn. Some companies dust their blocks of cheddar with corn starch.

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac. Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction. However, avoiding it here in the states. Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Back at the end of July I got this rash on both of my forearms. It started on my right and continued to the left. It was on the top and side. The rash has bumps that would pop with clear liquid if scratched. They would almost crystalize and scab up. They reminded me of chicken pox. They would scab for weeks and not heal much at all except for the blood clotting...

What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      Back at the end of July I got this rash on both of my forearms. It started on my right and continued to the left. It was on the top and side. The rash has bumps that would pop with clear liquid if scratched. They would almost crystalize and scab up. They reminded me of chicken pox. They would scab for weeks and not heal much at all except for the blood clotting. If the scab was scratched off, it would bleed and bleed until it scabbed up again. The skin has lost its pigment where the scabs are. I figured it was probably either the plant I had trimmed around the 15th or some reaction to the magnesium complex I was taking or an allergic reaction to the asthma meds I was on. I stopped the asthma meds and the magnesium. The rash seemed to get better but when I took the asthma meds it flared up again so I went to the urgent care as my doctor was unavailable. The UC doctor said it probably wasn't the meds and asked about my diet. I said I was strict keto. I usually am, but there is a story around this. I feel amazing on keto. When I eat sugar, wheat, and starchy veggies I feel horrible. Blood sugar goes up, IBS type symptoms, brain fog, etc. But I have a horrible addiction to carbs so I blow it sometimes and after Mom died in 2023, I fell off the wagon. No rashes, just weight gain. I finally went back on keto and then around that time had a piece of pizza (or so, it's hard to stop the carb rush.) So I was strict keto, off and on. She ignored that and prescribed some allergy meds. It didn't go away.  What was happening by then was that the rash was now on my upper elbows, both of them, on the back of my arms. It starts with a very itchy bump, spreads around it and sometimes just burns like crazy and other times just itches. Then it started on the sides of my knees on the oustide, a little bit down the sides of the calves. It's not as bad there as it is on my arms even though it comes and goes (and so does wheat in my diet.) I then got three tiny blisters on each hand, 3 on the insdie of my index finger on the right hand and 3 on the inside of middle finger of my left hand. There is still a little scab there even though it was two weeks ago. No more have appeared on the fingers. But right now the back of the arms above my elbows are starting to itch. At some point I started to think mites from the possum that was sneaking into our house but it's been 3 months and they would be dead already. It wouldn't be from humans because I don't go near any humans although I did take an Uber to the doctor and the bus back. Plus, it's symmetrical. It starts on one side and is almost identical on the other.  I did my DNA with Ancestry and MyHeritage. I don't have the HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8. I do have HLA-DQ2.2. I took the blood test but it was negative. Then again, I don't eat wheat every day. I rarely eat it except for lately when I've been preparing for the blood test if I have to take it again. I don't like to. It makes my joints hurt, gives me brain fog, stomach problems, I sleep in the middle of the day, etc. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow. I hope that she will be more serious about this than the UC doctor was.  So I have no idea. With my luck they'll magically disappear before the doctor appointment. That's what happens with everything.
