Other Food Allergies Or Something Else

Hi everyone. I have been gluten free for a little over two years and casein free for about let's say a year and half. I still get sick all the time and I'm careful of what I eat and am specific when I go places about how my food should be. I still get diarrhea all the time and so I am wondering if I could have some other food allergy or if it's something else. If anyone has any ideas I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Hi Clarise,

My daughters and I had been struggling with a wide range of symptoms and it wasn't until recently that we related them all to food. The most helpful test to us was the ELISA blood panel, which will test your blood for reactions to about 100 different foods. In addition to picking up gluten and dairy problems, it also picked up eggs, peanuts, sesame and sugar.

Here is some more information about it. Most naturopaths are aware of this test:

Good luck. I know how frustrating it can be...

Thanks for the information. I hope it will some of it.

You say "when you go somewhere"; does that mean you eat out fairly often? Even if you are very specific, you may be getting cross-contamination. Do your symptoms coincide with eating out, or do you eat out (or anywhere where you have not prepared your own foods) too frequently to tell?

No not very often, but just when I have anything even if I fix it myself I still get sick. No I hardly ever eat out. But I've just started college two weeks ago and every day I have been sick to my stomach. It is no fun. I don't know. Maybe I'll just need to talk someone at school about preparing the food.

Have you ever tried eliminating corn? Sorry for those of you that have read my recent posts - a bit redundant. I eliminated it this week and it seems to have helped me (that is, until this afternoon when I made a mistake and accidently ate some). Most of my gluten-free cereals and snacks had corn in them, and, of course, corn syrup and starch are so ubiquitous. Its very hard to avoid. And yet, with the frequent exposure, I am not suprised that so many develop allergies to it. With corn, I was having the typical bathroom/stomach issues and fatigue. The stomach issues seemed to clear, though not the fatigue - who knows though, this symptom may take longer to dissipate. Also, check out some other postings that address potato and Nightshad allergies. These two (corn and potato) seem to be very common problems (aside from the dairy and eggs, that is). Good luck!

Do you have roommates? or share a kitchen with others?

      4 Years and very little progress

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the  forum @maylynn! Have you had a follow-up endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel to check for healing of the villous lining? If not, it's about time one was done. As Scott mentioned, I also wonder if you have food intolerances in addition to gluten. Oats (even gluten free oats), dairy, soy, corn and eggs are some of the most common ones in the celiac community.

      Is your gluten-free diet strict? Do you eat out in restaurants? If so, you could be getting contamination, and over time that can slow recovery. You may want to get a follow up celiac disease antibody panel done to make sure that your levels have gone down since your last tests. Also, have you had various nutrient levels checked via a blood test, and have you been taking vitamin & mineral supplements since your diagnosis?  The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.    Do you still have celiac disease symptoms?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      4 Years and very little progress

      Hello!  I am here as a last result, hoping for some advice, similar stories, etc. When I was 17, I was diagnosed with Celiac disease. By the time we figured it out my iron levels were so low I had to get infusions, and I had lost 20lbs. in two weeks going from a 5'11 130lbs woman to a 110 lbs. Now, I am 21 and have gained 4 lbs since. Every time I eat a meal, I get three bites in and feel so full that I feel sick. I can't eat a full meal. Something else has to be wrong right? This can't just be more "normal" right? I have done test after test and no doctor in my area can figure anything else out. They have told me I most likely have shrunken my stomach by now with how little I am eating so that has to do with some of the sick feeling. What have you done to gain the weight back? Foods? Workouts?

      Thank you so much, Scott. I find it incredibly daunting navigating this celiac space and I find comfort in your wealth of knowledge. Thank you 🙏🏻
