I am new to this forum and having a hard time with this diet. I've been so sick for soooooooo long and will spare the details at this point. I've recently been told that I have a gluten intolerance by a new doctor that I went to see. He did some blood tests and it showed that I was very strong positive for the gliadin AB.
I've been watching my gluten and feeling somewhat better but since seeing a dietician and keeping a food diary we've noticed that I am affected by other foods as well. It seems that eggs, peanuts, soy to name a few have been making me ill. This morning I had some guten free hot cereal and had the same sick feeling. I noticed that it had buckwheat, brown rice and corn sorghum.. I have been eating brown rice almost daily with no problem. Last night I had corn in my mixed vegetables...no problem! I remember eating buckwheat dry cereal years ago and I think it made me ill. The only other ingredient in the hot cereal that could have made me ill was the buckwheat but in researching on the website I read that it is a safe grain. Has anyone else had any problems with buckwheat? Is there anyplace that I can get more information on this? I seem to be having the same symptoms as with the other problem foods: first allergic reaction, sneezing, stuffiness, migraine, then sour stomach, stomach pains and horrible bloating and feeling like gut is on fire (sometimes diahrea)....which persists all day and often into the next. Lastly, muscle pain and fatigue.
I don't know what to eat anymore and this is getting very upsetting and discouraging. Any insight?
