Food Sensitivities?


Skittles

Recommended Posts

Hello, I am still newly diagnosed but have been suffering all of my life. Now that I am paying more attention to my body and what I put in to it I think I have sensitivities to other foods as well, such as corn. I feel that there may be more. Can you guys tell me some foods that you are sensitive to?

Hon, if you are newly diagnosed, you are still suffering from serious inflammation in your gut lining.

You may feel as if EVERYTHING is causing you a problem right now.

Let's start at the beginning: have you eliminated dairy?

If you put all our individual sensitivities and additional allergies together in a list it would comprise of pretty much everything. No joke. If you polled on any one food, you'd find many who are allergic/intolerant/sensitive to that one and it would seem that one is common, no matter what it is. The one exception is dairy. Damaged vili tend to leave a person lactose intolerant, usually temporarily, until after they heal.

My point is you shouldn't go by what others are sensitive to. It is very individual what/if people react to and everyone has different symptoms for the same food, there is no given set of reactions for a given food and our own reactions can vary i expression from time to time. Our immune systems can decide to call pretty much anything an enemy too, for those of us who tend to have allergies.

I just got off the dairy.. But not really long enough yet to notice a difference

Give it some time, hon. You're just staring this journey of healing.

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
