Allergy Diet

[IrishHeart]

Zantac is a type 1 blocker.

Claritin is a type 2 blocker.

Here's a quick chart of antihistimines by type:

Sorry, but as I said, Zantac (ranitidine) is a H2 blocker--even the chart you provide the link to states this.

Here is TrishTrish (aka Catsmeow) discussion regarding her use of the Histamine 2-- Zantac working for her.

[IrishHeart]

i managed to eat some green soup ill sip on that all day

for tomorrow i need to get everything i need for 2 weeks we are going to town and wont be able to go again for another 2 weeks

i am so confused it makes my head hurt as what foods to eat what not to eat

what to buy and what not to buy god greif

Coll--

just get the Earth Balance spread (soy free) to use as "butter"

Get So Delicious coconut milk (red carton) it's soy and dairy free

You can keep eating the gluten-free Rice Chex and Corn chex---you like those.

All meats--plain--are fine.

All vegs are fine.

All fruits are fine.

Rice is fine.

It does not seem like you need to avoid any other foods--at this point.

You are not allergic to them, right?

Get some ZANTAC --it is sold over the counter--- and just try it for two weeks? See if it knocks down the allergic response in you and if it will stop the BURNING in your gut you told me about.

Sorry, got them reversed, and referenced my own mistake. Point is people respond to different types. Try both of them before you give up.

I'm not here to argue with you IH. I'm attempting to support the info you gave the OP.

Try the root veggies! Try anything you want. Just be careful of the gluten.

For stock,if you cannot make your own, use Kitchen Basics or Pacific.

Yes, Coll--I really think you are having swollen glands from the allergens.

They can cause all the things you are feeling. I have terrible pain in my joints, back, spine--I understand how crazy it is.

Please try the Zantac--because it may help BOTH your burny gut and throat and your allergies--we hope.

Let us know. Good luck, honey.

That Benadryl makes me HYPER awake--but everyone else I know gets tired--go figure!!

[collgwg]

i took 1/2 of the benadryl about 2 hrs ago i ate so im going to take the ranidine

[IrishHeart]

Skip the oats unless you can guarantee they are gluten free.

Nothing from bulk bins!!

The ranitidine should not harm you.

Don't take it and benadryl together, hon

[collgwg]

Try some corn pasta. BiAglut brand is delicious!!!

Try to get the So Delicious coconut milk--it is in the red box in the dairy aisle. It pours easily.

The coconut milk in the can is too thick for my taste--like on gluten-free Chex? does not work. I only use that stuff in a can for cooking.

Happy hunting!

[collgwg]

they do not sell so delish here in town but when i can get out tomorrow ill get some at the super store

the mac and cheese was wonderful oh yummm seems to have gone down well

[IrishHeart]

Oh, good, Coll! Hope it settles in and you can have a good night!!

[Bubba's Mom]

I'm so glad you were able to have mac & cheese.

I've found the So Delicious coconut milk in the dairy cooler, but they make it in cartons that can sit on the shelf unrefrigerated..until you open it of course.

[collgwg]

ok few hrs later and still all is well thank god i think mabe this l g is helping along with the probiotics and the supplement with the digestive enzimes

[IrishHeart]

ok few hrs later and still all is well thank god i think mabe this l g is helping along with the probiotics and the supplement with the digestive enzimes

Then, I suggest you keep doing it and see how it goes.

Now, you should try to relax a little, hon---you are pretty tapped out from feeling so lousy for so long.

Keep us posted.

[collgwg]

yea ill be eating quite light tomorrow wow that was some heavy stuff on the ol guts feeling rather bloated and yucky i think i ate too much as well opps

the more it tryes to digest the yuckier i feel

damm oh but it was yummy that will be a every once in a while type dish and only have a tiny bit like 1/3 cup insted i ended up eating a whole cup and that was too heavy on the guts its usto baby food like food and broth's and super soft meats and i go and hit it with solids like that oh well

ill just put the rest in the freezer and reheat some other time

[collgwg]

woke up at 4am cough and puke guts out not good

feeling super swollen and sore and yucky

do not think my system likes flour's or could it be baking soda? humm i will stay away from baking soda for a while and see what happens i almost think it is just the way my guts feel

and i think the pasta was just too heavy for my guts for right now mabe in a couple of months

[IrishHeart]

Sorry to hear this Coll.

yes, maybe mac and cheese was a lot for your digestive tract just yet.

Baking soda does not have much in it that could be an issue.

But it is difficult to say as I do not know what else you ate during the day.

An elimination diet is tricky (at least I thought it was) because whenever more than ONE food item is ingested, you cannot tell which one is the problem.

Go back to plain meat and vegs and keep a list all day long.

Drink a LOT of water. Hope you feel better soon.

If you do not improve soon, you really need to see a gastroenterologist, in my opinion. DEMAND a referral (if you need one) from your PC doctor or get a new doctor to help you. This is crazy for you to be so sick for so long.

It just does not make sense and I feel like anything we suggest only helps you briefly.

[collgwg]

i know its nuts

but i finally felt way better come mid afternoon i just drank l g and i found some cereal i dont have it with me right now but its called rice crisps i think anwyay its free of all top 10 allergens i had that with the so delish coconut milk oh and i found a can of coconut juice oh yummy i love coconut anything i hope to get coconut flour next time

im now about to eat mashed sweet potato with earth ball butter

boiled green beans and roasted chicken with just herbmare on it

looks and smells yummy wish me luck

and i have asian pare for desert half after supper and half later on for snack first time trying any type of fruit other than lemmon and blueberries in a long time

[IrishHeart]

Hope it all agrees with you.

[collgwg]

yup all is well

im making a turkey soup today with premade bone broth just unfroze and dumped in with sauted carrots celery onions leeks garlic cabbage cauliflour herbmare for flavouring

and a bag of premade frozen turkey meat dumped that in and let it simmer all day

oh i weighed my self and wow im 144 lbs wow before my digestive system messed up i was 198 lbs in a way thats good to loose all that weight getting alot of complements

but in another way my insides are messed right up

i swear i blame this all on my pill pushing doc

but it all comes down to being able to have the smarts to heal this body my self and with the help of everyone here

[IrishHeart]

Glad you feel better, and I am also wondering if you have not benefited from using the digestive enzymes, taking the probiotics and eliminating the Nystatin your system did not need.

That drug causes bowel and stomach problems for people, especially if you take it for a prolonged period.

Glad you are eating again and nourishing your body.

Stay well!
