Maybe just try a food alimination diet and then you can see when you add food to your diet all the foods you react to?

Are you allergic to latex by any chance? I ask because all the fruit and vegetables you are allergic are cross over food allergies with latex. I am also allergic to latex and I'm allergic to avacado, banana, tomato, pepper, potato and a bunch of orher fruits and vegetables. Kiwi/banana are two of the four that are highly related to latex allergies. It's not an underlying condition but it explains why you are allergic to what you are allergic to.

I showed my wife my scalp and she says it is psorasis so I made an appointment with the dermatologist.

I went off being gluten free when I had blood sugar issue. It wasn't for long but I wanted to make sure it wasn't just hi blood sugar. Now that I'm gluten free it is getting better. I think I have DH on my feet and arms. Is it a rash that looks like blisters? It itches soo bad! Omg thankfully it is going away.

I recently found out I have high blood sugar so I stopped being gluten free for a while because I thought maybe it was just high blood sugar. Anyway it turns out I do have celiac and high blood sugar but eating gluten has given me an extremely dry/itch scalp and skin. I went off glutte.but is there anything else I can do? I have tried every shampoo out there and I use one for a sensitive scalp now. It just really itches! Ugh

If you didn't have gluten by accident could it be another food problem? I get a very upset stomach with dairy or corn.

I am not eating gluten. I prepare all my food in a gluten free kitchen. Plus when I do eat gluten I can tell within 30 minutes based on how tired I get. I've been to the doctor but there is nothing in my blood that indicates a problem. I'm only 25 so I do not think it is menopause. Plus it only happens at night.

Hey! I'm moving there next year and would love to know your experience thee. Where do you stay there? How easy is it for you to get food? How's the labeling there. I would love to email you and ask you more questions if that is ok with you. My email is staccey.hendler@gmail.com or pm me here.

Hey

So for as long as I can remember vie also had very bad night sweats. I dont have this problem during the day just at night. It isn't the temperature in the room that is causing the problem nor is it from wearing hot clothes.

It's getting very bad and when I wake up in the middle of the night Im soaking wet. What could it be?

I took the prevpac. I did have some unpleasant side effects, but it wasn't too bad since I took it for two weeks. Good luck!

Could you have raynauds? Open Original Shared Link

I was diagnosed with having it in my hands/arms/legs/feet recently.

I'd suggest keeping a food log and how you feel after. Like, for me, eating corn makes me feel almost the same way I feel when I eat gluten. See if you notice trends with certain foods. Also if you feel sick after a certain meal double check that it was indeed gluten free.

It could also be there is something you are missing. For this I would go to the doctor and tell them what is going on. While it could be you are just getting gluten in your diet or you have other food intolerences, don't rule out it could be something else completely!

Good luck

I would go to the doctor. Although it may be something as simple as your bed it could also be something else that needs to be addressed. Good luck!

It does feel great to get to the bottom of our problems

I never got the flu shot. In previous years when flu season came around I felt sick all the time that it wouldn't have mattered if it was the flu or being sick from having celiac. I don't plan on getting the flu shot this year.

Thanks! i must confess part of me wants to just go there and eat a baguette and say F*** the free world, but I won't

LMAO!! As much as I would want to do that, you don't want to end up getting sick on your vacation. Have fun

When you have a food allergy you can get those symptoms when consuming the food, but it doesn't have to be that severe. I'm allergic to beef and when I eat it I only develop a headache. Maybe you should see an allergist to see if you are allergic to peanuts. Also this link may help you understand more Open Original Shared Link.

I would continue eating gluten free and see how you feel. Along the way you may find that there are other foods you can not tolerate and quite a number of people with celiac are that way. I suggest a food diary so you can keep track of those reactions.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask

1) Celiac is not a wheat allergy, however, you can have a wheat allergy. Celiac is an autoimmune disease.

2)In addition to having celiac you may also have other food problems. Do you generally have problems with peanuts or other nuts? Is there something else in the peanut butter you can be reacting to? What did you eat the peanut butter with? I suggest going on a food elimination diet once you find out the results of your tests so you can figure out what other foods can be causing you problems.

Yes, mine did stop after I stopped eating gluten :-D

Trillium I agree with you ten thousand percent.

But (y'all knew that was coming right? ) here's the thing: My primary symptoms are weight gain, sluggishness, d/c and some tummy trouble. Which interestingly describes a lot of the same people who are asking me about gluten-free. How many of them *actually* have gluten intolerance? That would be an interesting question.

A week into the diet I'm feeling like I'm 30 again... and no doctor would have advised me to try this to see if it helped. So what does that say? How many people are running around who have probs with gluten, don't know it, and are either medically struggling or just chalk it all up to "normal"...

Does that make sense?

The problem I see with this is it could be a gluten intolerance but it could also be another food intolerance/allergy. I feel that way just from eating any dairy products or any other of my food allergies. What if your friends wrote down everything they ate and how they felt after? This way they can see if there is a relationship between what they are eating and how they feel. If in fact it is a gluten problem then they can eliminate from their diet, but this way they know they are eliminating the source of the problem.

After I first went gluten free I had many more accidents than now (4 months gluten free). I would say things like narrowing down what products are safe, knowing how to read labels, being more careful while ordering out and knowing what restaurants have better practices..etc play a huge role. It would be interesting to see how often the average person consumes gluten by accident after being diagnosed.

When I went to my doctor my blood tests came back positive for celiac but my biopsy was inconclusive so I was not diagnosed with celiac. My doctor did suggest I go on a gluten free diet to see how I feel and I did feel much better. But, I also had other problems that were found out by testing that needed to be addressed. I was tested positive for h pylori for example that I needed to be on antibiotics for.

A lot of people have been self diagnosed and feel much better. It's all about what feels good to you and what your insurance company needs :-D.

Basically, what I would like to know, is if this is normal to have such a wide array of symptoms just from eating contaminated food? Is there anything, besides being more precautious with food, that will help her or does she just have to ride it out?

I just ate something with gluten by accident and it is effecting just about every part of my body. I am very hot with a headache, stomach ache, joint pain, I'm nauseated, I'm disoriented..I just want to sleep for the next week! Then there will be the symptoms that don't appear until later on...fun

All you can do is ride it out.

After going gluten free I still felt like crap after eating. I began going for allergy testing and eliminating the foods that caused problems and I am starting to feel much better, but I have no idea what to eat. I have problems with most meats (pork, turkey, lamb, beef, salmon, tuna), beans, yeast, eggs, dairy, corn, most vegetables (all green vegetables, peppers, lettuce, and more) and I don't do well with fruit as I fall asleep after consuming most fruits.

So, what do I eat? I seem to do well with chicken, rice and soy products but that isn't much of a selection. I've tried other grains such as quinoa but would rather eat other things but have no idea as to what. I'm thinking I may have to supplement my diet with protein shakes since I've lost a lot of weight since going gluten free.

I really hate this!

Before I was diagnosed I was always hungry and was losing weight. Now I'm hardly hungry and I'm still losing weight. I'm still having such a hard time finding foods that I like that I hardly eat. I've always been the type that if I can't have something I won't use the subsitute. Like, I would have gone without mayo than have fat free mayo. I'd rather go without bread,pasta, cookies and more than have the gluten free version.
