    Since opening this thread I have read through the responses (some great sources there, thanks) and have started taking a DAO supplement. Effects have been much better and faster than I first expected with my aches and pains, especially in my lower back much improved. I cannot say that it has helped my multi food/aroma intolerances yet but hoping! I am also...

    Thanks KK! Yes vitamins are available here! Sitting here on vacation in Dornoch with a splitting headache - I think the bedclothes must have been washed in some detergent I am intolerant to. Typical histamine reaction. These articles are excellent so thank you for sending them over.

    Thanks. I will have another search through the internet and see if I can get any here in Scotland. Regards.

    Many thanks for this. I take it there are no DAO supplements available yet. My diet is already seriously restricted - I can see further restrictions will be necessary! I do take Sodium Cromoglycate (Nalcrom) but it doesn’t appear to help. Maybe I should increase the dose. Regards.

    Having been diagnosed with celiac disease in 2009 I increasingly developed intolerances to certain foods and beverages like dairy, eggs, alcohol, food preservatives, tomatoes etc. haven’t had much success with doctors/dieticians here esp with current Govt cutbacks so have been doing my own research. I am sick to death of headaches during the night and always t...

    In my experience, yes. I love oats and I have tried re-introducing it into my diet but each time the side-effects are the same. So, I am afraid that I am not surprised with your problem.

    Thanks for this, amazed by how many of the “avoid” foods I have an intolerance with. I will approach my doctor again and try and educate him/her about histamine problems - but as I have had these problems for over 15 years and had numerous physicians in that time, I am not holding my breath for a flash of inspiration. Many are just not interested.

    Exactly, don’t take these results as Gospel - only time will tell. Maybe I was lucky in that all the highly-rated problem foods gave me problems and still do. My food diary is in my head as my diet is very restricted but do keep one as isolating a particular problem food can be very time consuming. Very best of luck and welcome to the “club”.

    I have the same problem but have learned to live with it. What are your symptoms if you do eat something that was flagged up? Mine are headaches starting 2:30 in the morning and refusing to go away with pills. My food sensitive results have proven to be quite accurate with most flagged up bringing on headaches incl eggs, any dairy, soya, alcohol and any preservatives...

    Thanks Scott - I was hoping someone might say that as it helps my optimistic side. Don’t need a food diary as my diet is so limited any symptoms can easily be traced back to anything “different” that I have introduced. I will give it a few weeks then try introducing something that I know usually causes problems - something important like a glass of Pinot...

    Diagnosed about 2007 I have multi food intolerances incl dairy, eggs, soya, chocolate, alcohol also including perfumes and aromas. All give me bad headaches and fatigue. Doctors are of little help here in U.K. Ever since I was diagnosed I have suffered from floating stools. However recently I have had to take antibiotics for a bladder infection. One...

    Thanks Sharib. SIBO does tick most of the boxes but I had a breath test about 6 years ago which they said was negative but tbh they (doctors) are not really interested purely due to lack of knowledge on the subject together with lack of specialists. Thus may end up being a “self help/diy” approach so I will do my own research into SIBO and see what can be ...

    Diagnosed Coeliac in 2008. Since then my food intolerences have expanded somewhat which has heavily restricted my lifestyle. Can only go to trusted restaurants and cannot drink alcohol. My intolerences include all dairy (cassein), eggs (Albumen), oats, soya, rapeseed, sulphites, sulphates, phosphates (all chemical preservatives) and various perfumes/cosmetic...
  14. fergusminto
    Imo yes. I am intolerant to casein (all dairy), eggs, soya, chocolate and more. Also serveral scents/perfumes. Got worse over last 10 years. Just have to live with it. Big plus is that I have been introduced to coconut cream - fantastic alt to dairy.
  15. fergusminto
    In addition to what Trent has said, the jury is still out on whether Coeliac (as we say in Scotland) causes food intolerances or whether the lack of gluten in the diet causes then but nevertheless as can be seen in this forum, food intolerances seem to go hand in hand with celiac disease. In my own case these intolerances cause headaches and fatigue which...
  16. fergusminto
    Hi Sara In my experience there is no logic to food intolences and like you my first source of info was an IgG test which indicated all dairy, oats, eggs, soya and silly things like MSG, pears and cashew nuts! Through experience I have added preservatives suphates, sulphites etc. to that banned list. In reality this means that I eat from scratch - no...

    Have read your post with interest. If you look on my profile you will see that like you I have celiac disease and a large number of food intolerances which I am sure are just treated as "fads" when I venture to eat out. Am willing to assist - live in Scottish Borders don't know if that is an issue though!
  18. fergusminto
    Read up about Zonulin - it might answer a few questions and reduce your stress levels. You are not the only Coeliac with these problem believe me! celiac disease can bring intolerances with it. T
  19. fergusminto
    I have trird (oh how I have tried!!!) to eat chocolate but as Julie, above, says, much if it contains dairy and dots and other flavours/chemicals that I csnnot, obviously eat. Neither can my wife who is not a coeliac but wheat intolerant. Everyone will be different is many ways. Also just now reading up on Zonulin which looks interesting.
  20. fergusminto
    Thank you all for this feedback. I had never heard of zonulin but the research seems to be a major move forward. Glysophates I knew about and even have/had Roundup in my garage and have used it often on the driveways. About to read Alessio Fasano's studies. Excellent site, thanks again.

    Just seen this response from 2 years ago! "Experienced Immunologist" is a consultant immunologist at Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle upon Tyne, England. I had a very hard job to access this guy but he turns out to be the most experienced, effective and knowledgable people in this line of medicine. My degree is in Hotel and Catering and I know all about...

    I don't believe in "coincidences" when it comes to celiac disease. I am getting tired of doctors who say that my multiple food intolerances have no relation to my celiac disease. This website and these many threads say differently. So, is anyone researching this? There must be a link between celiac disease and the inability of many of us to tolerate dairy...
  23. fergusminto
    You won't get any physician agreeing with this but in IMO yes but not necessarily "allergies ". I am coeliac but also have numerous other "intolerances" which I believe are related to celiac disease. Try laying off dairy (use coconut milk, cream and oil), eggs (use No Egg), oats (similar protein as gluten) and soya (filthy stuff!). Cook everthing from...
  24. fergusminto
    As for eating out, I have found anywhere in the UK that in even semi-decent restaurants I can tell them exactly what I want. Look through their menu and pick things you like and tell them what you want and how to cook it. Most decent chefs will like a change and a challenge and I have been pleasantly surprised with the help that they have given. After a while...
