Bloated Face And Reacting To Alot Of Foods

[jaknhk]

Help - as soon as I eat wheat, all grains - including rice, dairy, corn, potato, nuts, vinegars and eggs my face bloats up and I get very tired. I reacted to my homemade beef stew - the only thing I can think is that the meat had dairy or something in it.

I don't seem to have the stomach/intestinal pain that many of you have. I have some gas - but my facial bloating is getting emabressing!

I tested neg for celiac and am now going to an outside lab for additional food allergy testing - MRT test - thru Signet Diagnostic.

Anyone else have similar issues...I am on a very limited diet and am always hungry.

The fact that your face blows up concerns me. That sounds like an allergy

How do you make your beef stew? I have never seen milk in plain meat (and I know because I have a milk allergy). However if you used canned beef broth some brands do have wheat in them. This does sound like an allergy. If your allergy tests all come up all negative then you may need to try an elimination diet to figure out which foods are bothering you.

Angioedema...facial swelling and swelling of the deeper tissues. It can be allergic, or it can be from a vitamin deficiency, or it can be from kidney problems or heart problems...Food allergies that are undiagnosed can cause angioedema. Mine was from salicylates and soy and from the malnutrition of Celiac that went undiagnosed far too long. Once the body inflammation calms down it can resolve on it's own. Histamine containing foods are often the culprit. Google histamine foods....do an elimination diet. Test your vitamin levels. You are right to pursue other food allergies either through testing or through elimination and re-introduction.
