Cashew Allergy?

I've been having a little constipation lately and I'm not sure if it is due to the amounts of cashews that I eat (I love them).

I think one can develop an allergy or sensitivity to certain things by eating them too much and I tend to take in a half-pound of cashews every day. I haven't been eating anything else that would indicate CC either.

If you have allergy to nuts, you would have the opposite reaction. It will be diarrhea and breathing difficulties, or bloody sores and swelling in mouth. You can even have anaphylactic sock as I did.

What else are you eating? Do you drink enough of liquids? It's hot outside. We have tendency to sweat more then usual and we will loose more water from our bodies.

Do you eat enough of fiber, fruits, vegetables?

Hm, I seem to be getting enough vegetables and such, my liquid intake has declined but by a minuscule amount. Well, I'll figure it out.

And here are the reasons for constipation. It can be food related, but also drug or hormon related. Check the list. You might have some idea.

google: What are the major reasons behind constipation and press on first thing starting with EZ... (moderator didn't allowed this)

I went on gluten free diet and now I need to watch what I eat because I will end up with mild constipation myself.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.

      We do hear of cases of remission but they generally eventually revert back. I wouldn't push your luck.
