Food Allergies Treatment

Question by Mel: Cannot Have Wheat, Dairy or Sugar – Help!?
i’m 18 and female. i recently started going to a natural medicine doctor and had an ALCAT food allergy panel. most of what i’m allergic to are things i eat almost everyday. i don’t have reactions, like hives, to anything. so far all i’ve noticed is that when i have dairy, my stomach hurts. apparently, i am also allergic to the following….

severely – pecans; moderately – yeast, cashews, cauliflower, cow’s milk, grapes, green peas, green peppers, millet, mustard, pineapple, salmon, shrimp, snapper, sole, summer squash, tuna, gluten, wheat, oats, rye and barley!

these are things i (used to) eat a lot that i’m going to add into my 4 day rotation: beef, potatoes, turkey, corn, broccoli, and rice. and by the way, i’m from kansas, so i was raised on beef and potatoes and am very sad i can’t eat them anymore!

SO now my doctor said i cannot have any type of dairy, grain or sugar. does anyone have any recipes or advice to make eating this way easier? i am so frustrated.
please don’t insult me. i do not go to a “witch doctor”. i go to a respected doctor who is well known for helping austistic children. i never even said i was allergic to sugar! this is in addition to everything else. i also have a thyroid problem, so in conjuction with that, the foods i eat make me very tired and irratible. my dad has been having the same problems for years. this doctor is an answer to my prayers.

Maybe you should get a second opinion… If you only notice pain/irritation from eating dairy, perhaps you’re only allergic to that? Its just a suggestion, but if I were you I would get a second opinion before giving up all those foods!

Anyway, you can have soy milk in place of cow’s milk, and there are tons of great tasting vegetarian and vegan cheeses/yogurts/ice cream out there that you can have in place of dairy.

Question by Ella: Celiac and Dairy Allergy cooking for kids? Help please!?
Next week a friend of mine and her family are coming to stay for the weekend. This is great as her kids and mine get on great – the only problem is the cooking. Each of her three kids has an allergy to food – whereas mine have none!
Six year old – is a celiac (wheat and gluten)
Four Year Old and Two Year Old – Dairy Products.

Could you please give me some meal ideas that I could cook for all kids, I don’t want to cook two meals for them.

Thank you any ideas will be great Lunch, Snacks or Dinner.
I have found potato based foods work well. So mash, boiled potatos etc. I make pies with Mash on top rather than pastry. If your child won’t eat meat try potato and lentil pie.
I have found many stores off specialist pastas some are good. So therefore lasagnas etc can be made!
I am really stuck with the dairy problem tough especially puddings.

Question by K H: When I drink milk I get diarrhea…but NO other dairy causes it?
No cheese, icecream, yogurt…just milk. Backstory: when I was a kid I drank milk all the time. Then out of the blue it began making me throw up, so I stopped obviously. I recently decided to try milk again thinking it was a childhood phase or something. So started drinking milk again, and the diarrhea started again right after I’d drink it. I’m not lactose intolerant, because again, I have always eaten tons of dairy, and milk is the ONLY thing that causes it. So what’s the deal…is this ‘limited lactose intolerance’ or something. I’ve also heard of a ‘milk allergy’, but do allergies cause diarrhea?

Ok, now I’m not a doctor, but I’ve done a lot of research on milk because I suffer from Crohn’s Disease and milk seems to irritate me also, and just like you said -only milk, not the other milk products. There are a few possibilities that I have come up with. The 1st is bacteria. There has been some research going on now on Johnes and cows, which is a tuberculosis bacteria. They find that it can be found in the milk, and it is also very hard to kill. You’d have to heat it up so high that it would basically make it turn to cottage cheese in order to kill it. I think that foods like cottage cheese don’t contain this bacteria or possibly others as well because of the processes that they go through. Milk however can’t be heated high enough to kill everything without changing it’s liquidy property. Another possibility is an allergen in the milk. For instance, my daughter is allergic to soy. Whenever she drinks milk she has an allergic reaction, however, she is not allergic to milk (we’ve had her tested multiple times). She can also eat other milk products without having a reaction. We’ve determined that because cows are fed a diet that consists of a large amount of soy protein, that it is that in the milk causing the reaction. But, whatever process the yogurts, cheeses, ect go through must somehow breakdown or remove the protein, making her able to tolerate those products. These are just my observations and ideas based on a lot of research and critical thinking. Maybe it might me something for you to ponder as well.
