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?

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed...

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      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...

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      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. This article may be helpful: 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.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
