    Thanks. The sores didn't happen until the 4th day. I was thinking yesterday it might be shingles but after eating very clean they have really cleared so I don't think it is shingles. Last time I saw the doctor on this issue (18 months ago) he said it was something hormonal and not food so I didn't bother to see him again. Plus my psoriasis reared it's head...

    A friend made us a treat with oats and now I have a rash on my cheeks. It probably started to show 3-4 days after consuming the oats. I have quite a few food sensitivities and am trying to determine if it was contaminated oats or a couple of new foods I tried out. Thanks. Just not sure if 3-4 days seem like a long time to react and maybe it was something...

    I'm with TessTess on this. You probably have an underlying food intolerance. You should also journal to keep track of everything - foods and symptoms. I would definitely get rid of high offenders - grains, processed foods, soy, dairy, sugar, yeast for a couple of weeks and eat lower carb. good luck.

    ARCHIVED Potato?

    janpell replied to jhol's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    Nightshades are super tricky for me. As far as potatoes go, it's almost like I can handle a certain strain. Luckily, as soon as I taste a certain strain of potato, I can usually tell. I get a rancid feeling in the back of my throat. Granted, this doesn't always stop me from consuming at least a serving size. Eh, I'm doing the best I can and what's a little...

    I have to take zinc supplements to maintain a clear complexion. I think I had DH which cleared up after eliminating gluten but to keep clear of acne I have to take zinc somewhat regularly. I have Psoriatic Arthritis which is diagnosed though symptoms of inflammation markers, skin conditions and the like not like RA where it is up front in a blood test. Look...

    It may be shin splits, especially if you have taken up any activities such as jogging, tennis, fast paced walking or if you started wearing new shoes. Spring weather brings out the flattest of flats so these actually work your lower legs. I just broke in a pair of new running shoes that were as flat as I could get and then got shin splits - was also forewarned...

    It was my sons that tuned me onto soy. Both of them are started to react to foods. I made Edamame beans last week and my older boy woke up from 2-5 am from joint pain, my youngest, after eating said "The beans gave my tummy a headache and sore knees". They seem to be way more in tune than me so I tested a small amount of soya sauce - upper neck pain and inflammation...

    I think I get DM is coming from, you are from Canada, right? I don't think there is a huge push for genetic markers with our system but go by blood markers. I get the same thing - wherein I am bordering on AS, lupus and other high inflammatory conditions. They measure by ESR and CRP markers along with physical symptoms and x-rays. I don't have any genetic...

    I found I couldn't rid of my joint pain until I eliminated gluten and all the other inflammatory foods - nightshades, citrus, dairy, high carb diet, soy, alcohol, caffeine. From this point, I had to journal everything - symptoms, when and what I ate, all my supplements, etc. In the beginning a lot of foods caused pain, swelling and rashes. The neck pain was...

    Cut it out completely. It took me over a year to cut it out thinking it was this or that. I tested two months ago and although it didn't start the joint pain so much I got very strong symptoms for other things - psoriasis, mucus in stool, hair loss, neck pain and pressure in the base of my skull for 10 days after consuming. The longer I stay away from the...

    Gluten really sets my neck pain off, no where else but definitely in my upper spine. It's very frustrating, isn't it.

    My doctor(s) wouldn't test me for Celiac because I don't have gastrointesintal issues but I had so many other things going on. "Food is not your issue" I believe I was told. I quit gluten two years ago and my issues have cleared 90-95%. My son was tested at age two and his test was covered by OHIP.

    I also take one when I go to bed and that helps me a lot too.

    I don't have RA but do have PsA, which is pretty similar. I got off my DMARDs two years ago. A huge difference has been made through my diet. My GP's don't buy it but my Rheumatologist tells me to keep up what I am doing and come in for yearly check ups to make sure everything is good. Unfortunately, for me, it doesn't stop with just gluten. I have to watch...

    When I first went gluten free I lost a lot of weight for my body. I probably lost 15-20 lbs within 4 months and I was at an ideal weight previously, and was eating a lot. I had to eat all day long so as not to lose too much weight on an elimination diet. I found once I started to heal I started to gain weight again. Now, I feel I have to watch how I eat as...

    If you don't get results I would do a full elimination diet with a strict food journal. Going gluten free isn't enough for me to keep my joint pain/arthritis at bay. I have many more intolerances to deal with but I am slowly introducing more and more into my diet (over time) and it is going very well. It all depends on how much damage you have going on (I...

    I have been thinking about it and I think it is the Italian tomatoes I am okay with as this is the type I consume for my sauces and canned tomatoes. I have tried fresh heirloom (from my garden) and processed tomatoes (like the salsa, which was organic) and I get bad joint swelling from them. I will play around more this summer on a week when I feel really...

    I have this growing in my garden but I haven't tried eating the roots. Unfortunately, they aren't spreading like wildfire...time to get my soil checked! Guess I will try it at the end of the season provided they do spread a bit.

    No to the fat absorption issue. But because I can't have gluten (and other foods) I jumped at pulling him off gluten without testing after meeting resistance from his doctor. My youngest son is also gluten intolerant and gets a rash when he consumes gluten. I hope you get it all sorted out. I get angry/irritable with gluten and wow, what a difference being...

    You should a lot like my son (in your younger years). He is 12 now. I pulled him off dairy and gluten and am trying (he isn't helping much on this one) to get him off of sugar and lower carb. Well, he has almost completely turned around in the past couple of months. His doctor wouldn't test him for Celiac despite being anemic and given he gets adequate iron...

    Never considered the skin. There might be something to that as I bet most processed tomatoes have their skins removed.
  22. janpell
    I definitely can't have fresh tomatoes but I can have tomato sauce and tomato juice. I don't think I can handle salsa. I figured salsa would be as cooked down as sauce? I would love to get everything just so but it is taking forever to figure things out. I don't think nightshades are a problem in general as I seem to be able to handle peppers and potatoes...

    So we got After Eights (chocolates) as a gift and see that glucose is an ingredient and in brackets says "from wheat and/or corn". How does this work with all products containing glucose? This is the first time I have ever seen the source stated following glucose.

    I can have free range eggs but not the commercial ones. I also have to watch where I get my chicken and turkey. Sometimes I react to it them and other times it is fine. Frustrating.

    I can't handle too much corn either but I can if I have it sporadically. Say one week I can make corn flour tortillas, the next week some tortilla chips, probably no more than once a week though. I am working to eliminate it all together but I love my soft tortillas every so often. I find dropping corn more difficult than gluten so I have to wean and it is...
