New Reactions To Nightshades And Strawberries

Hi all,

I have questions about two different foods. I'm home sick for the second day with an apparent double whammy. I've been gluten free for four months, but I have leaky gut issues. There aren't many things left I can eat at this point without a reaction. I increasingly fear there will be nothing left for me to eat. Yikes!!!

The last few days, I have discovered what seems to be a nightshade intolerance from eating salsa prepared fresh from Whole Foods. Been eating it daily for weeks, then a sudden reaction. It's the only pre-prepared food I ever eat. Everything else is a whole food I prepare myself. It has both tomatoes and peppers in it. My first question is about potatoes. My N.D. had asked me to add them to my diet. I have been fine with them recently, and I have read that people react to potatoes far less often that the other nightshades. So my first question is: HAS ANYONE FOUND THEY CAN TOLERATE POTATOES, EVEN THOUGH THEY CAN'T TOLERATE OTHER NIGHTSHADES?

Also, I always eat berries first thing every morning, and have never had a problem until today. I was eating blackberries, and have recently switched to strawberries. All of them have been from Trader Joe's. Then this morning I ate Driscoll's strawberries, and I have all the familiar symptoms. It's possible I am still reacting to the salsa from yesterday since my digestion issues are always constipation with makes the symptoms linger, and strawberries are the only thing that's been in my stomach today. I'm also aware of the strawberries grown in wheat grass issue. So, my second question is: DOES ANYONE HAVE INFORMATION ON WHICH BRANDS OF STRAWBERRIES ARE/AREN'T GROWN IN WHEAT GRASS?

Just as I think I'm getting ahead of the gluten issues, I find another food that makes me sick, another setback. I'm beyond disappointment, since I have a long history of food intolerances. I have a great Naturopathic Dr. I take two high quality Probiotics daily. I'm drinking Intenstinew Powder twice daily to repair my intestinal lining. I know with leaky gut the foods I can eat will increase in time. Gluten/food issues and constipation is a tough combination though. I'm tired of feeling sick. I'm so ready to get better and live a normal life again!

Any relevant comments are appreciated! Thanks!

      While you remove gluten processed foods from your diet, there are vitamins and minerals added to those foods because the standard western diet has been deemed deficient by government agencies and so are required to be fortified.  Gluten free processed food are no usually fortified.  For every food you delete, make sure to find another source in you new diet. Ones in particular to be aware of are Thiamine, B2, B3, B5, Choline, Folate, Iodine, vitamin D. Virtually all new Celiac Disease diagnosed have deficient vitamin D and some research indicates that is the trigger. Possible Role of Vitamin D in Celiac Disease Onset Try choosing vegetables low in omega 6 to reduce inflammation.  The standard American diet runs from 14:1to 20:1 (omega 6 to omega 3).  The healthy rate is >3:1.  This chart may help: Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids in Vegetables:

      Does anyone know any good gluten free lip balm?

      By Lockgirl · Posted

      I have been using their toothpaste and some of their other products that are labeled gluten free. Sorry about that. It is so frustratingly hard to get clear answers from companies on gluten content.

      Does anyone know any good gluten free lip balm?

      I've been using eos lip balms. I usually get it at costco. Eos has little round balms, but also stick ones like chap stick. Costco has both. They are labeled gluten free when you buy individual balms, but the combo package from costco isn't always labeled gluten-free. The company web site says they are gluten-free. I'm pretty sensitive, I use the balms all day every day, and haven't had any reactions.
