    How do I go about ordering from America's Compounding Center? My symptoms sound fairly similar to yours. I am reaching a point where I need something to minimize these constant reactions im having.

    If you do believe you have an allergy to milk, you definitely want to avoid eating it for a while. Its Open Original Shared Link that when you have an allergic reaction to a food, the gut becomes more leaky. This can perpetuate the cycle leading to further allergies.

    It most definitely can happen, as it has happened to me. And by allergy I am referring to an immune reaction 20 minutes or so after consuming the food. Knocks me out for a good week. That said, these allergies do not show up in a standard IGE blood-test. Why this is, I do not know. Perhaps they are mediated by IGG antibodies. When you think about...

    Maybe its something in the skin which is bothering you. Have you tired peeling it and see if that makes a difference? Another possibility is its only the raw tomato you have problems with. Its a known thing that cooking a food alters its proteins, and hence the body can respond differently to a food cooked vs raw. You could try cooking it to see if that...

    With regards to portion sizes, it would be a good idea to limit the amount of high protein foods you consume (legumes, meats, fish etc). I personally do 4-5 ounces of a given protein and it appears to be working fine (no new allergies). You can have as much oil as you want without worrying. I try to do decent sized portions of the starches and veggies, and...

    Coffee and alcohol are both bad for a leaky gut. I would definitely eliminate them. Spicy peppers are known to be bad for a leaky gut as well. Why not replace them with some good anti-inflammatory spices. Eg: garlic, cumin, turmeric, cinnamon. Intense exercise for long periods of time has been proven to make a gut more leaky. Moderately paced exercise...

    There is actually a specific Open Original Shared Link you can take which measures your level of gut permeability (leaky gut). Though If you are developing multiple new food allergies, this is a strong enough indication of a leaky gut. I have been through that cycle before. Eliminating a food, feeling great for a few days, and then feeling like crap again...

    Hi Many people with celiac disease also have a leaky gut, which can cause you to develop new food allergies. Please refer to my post here.

    Hi First off, bacterial dysbiosis and leaky gut are not the same thing. Bacterial dysbiosis is one of the known causes of a leaky gut. The problem with having a leaky gut is, large particles of food proteins can slip into your bloodstream, and your immune system seeing these proteins as foreign, will over time develop an allergy to them. Now once...

    Very simple. If you look at the studies done on leaky gut and celiac desease, you will find that the control group made up of randomly selected people, always displays a much lower and normal range of intestinal permeability (leaky gut) than the celiac patients. So its easy to see, that the general population in spite of eating GMO on a daily basis, still...

    Well said. If you have a leaky gut you can become allergic to anything you eat frequently enough, especially protein dense food.
  12. stri8ed
    Yes. When I consume a food im allergic to, amongst other symptoms I do experience mood swings, irritability, and headaches. There is a simple way to find out whether these symptoms are indeed being caused by a food allergy. Temporarily replace the diet with only foods she has never eaten before. It is highly unlikely she will react to a food she has never...

    When you have a leaky gut, large undigested protein particles from the food can enter the bloodstream. This means over time, as your body gets continuously exposed to these foreign proteins, the immune system will develop an allergy to the said food. Focusing on healing the gut via proper nutrition and supplementation (L-glutamine) is definitely the right...

    I gotta disagree with that. If gmo was truly the cause, then the majority of the USA would be suffering from leaky gut. Clearly there its something more at play. The most implicated cause of leaky gut is gluten consumption, when eating by those genetically sensitive. For more info, google zonullin and gluten connection.

    At the moment I am in pretty tight situation, where I have developed allergies to all foods I have been eating, even while following a strict 4 day rotation diet. I assume I have a really severe case of leaky gut, which could explain why this is happening. Working with my doc, I have just taken the Lactulose/Mannitol intestinal permeability test, and...

    For breakfast how about a bunch of different fruits? There are a wide variety of fruits you can probably eat. Here are some good ones which are high calorie and will help you maintain your weight: dates, mango, figs, bananas, grapes. Look into the 4 day rotation diet. With regards to spices and oils, I can speak from my experience, initially I rotated...

    No. It is not necessary to cut all legumes or all grains because you have developed an intolerance to some. What happens when you have a leaky gut, is large particles of food can escape the digestion and enter the bloodstream. So if you are eating a food very often this will cause a large amount of the said food to circulate in your bloodstream. Now the immune...

    Have you considered the possibility that it was the protein in the corn you where reacting to, not specifically the lectins? If you look at the Open Original Shared Link for cornstarch you will notice it has 0 grams of protein, versus Open Original Shared Link which has 9g protein per 100 grams. Its a known thing that a food allergy is a response to a protein...

    I believe the first step in healing a leaky gut is to stop causing further inflammation. So long long as your body is still being irritated by foods you are consuming, it will not have the chance to heal. With that said, here is what I would do: First, do an elimination diet and remove any foods you find yourself currently reacting to. Once you have removed...

    Generally speaking you do a 4 day rotation diet. Meaning, if you eat a food on sunday you dont eat it again until thursday.
  21. stri8ed
    If possible, try to rotate the foods you are eating. When I did an elimination diet, I was eating copious amounts of brown rice every day, and soon my body developed an intolerance to rice. Thats not to say you will have this problem, but If you do have multiple relatively "new" food sensitivities I would give this some thought. With regards to not loosing...

    On a slightly off-hand note, I have come across a great book called "alternative approach to allergies" by "Dr Theron Randolph", which deals with delayed foods allergies/food sensitivities and rotation diets. Here is a little tidbit from it which relates very strongly to my situation:
  23. stri8ed
    Its unlikely, considering I have discovered allergies/sensitivities to a wide variety of unrelated foods (broccoli, salmon, spinach & more). The only shared commonality between them being, they are all foods I have been over-exposed to (eaten multiple times a day, multiple days in a row) in the recent past. It does seem most the foods Ive become intolerant...
  24. stri8ed
    Slight update: Since I started the rotation diet I have been keeping a log of all my meals for every day, as well as any corresponding symptoms on that day or the next. Because of this I was able to pinpoint the cause for my latest flare-ups, and remove it from my diet. The culprit turned out to be green-peas, which is a food I was eating frequently (prior...

    I don't believe that's my issue. I eat only whole foods (fruits, vegies, meats, grains) with practically no condiments. Its quite clear when I grow an intolerance to a new food, as my body reacts very harshly, and once I remove that food all the symptoms subside, that is until I grow a new intolerance..
