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 shallan a: could this be a food allergy? HELP!?
I am having some trouble finding out what it is i am eating that is causing me problems. every once in a while i get really bad gas often accompanied by diarrhea and/or nausea. i suspect milk and cut a lot of dairy products out, and now drink enriched rice milk, but the last few days i have been obviously eating something else that has negative effects on me, i have been eating a lot of wheat so maybe gluten? and also the last 3 days or so Ive eaten a lot of strawberries, could this be a strawberry allergy that ive suddenly developed/noticed.

any information on: allergies, development of allergies in adulthood (im 22), personal experiences, irritable bowl syndrome, anything i would welcome. I’m just at a loss, i really don’t know what this could be.

oh! other then this i am healthy and active, don’t eat fast food etc so it isn’t just poor diet in general.

Ok, I have lots of allergies, so I might be able to help. I would say to try different things, test different foods, and see what they do to you. Also, you need to keep in mind any and all environmental factors that could be aggravating our allergies. Bottom line, go see an allergist, and seek medical attention if your symptoms intensify severely.

Question by savannah: I got my allergy test back and need some help?
I got a food allergy test because I wanted to know which foods I might be allergic to and this is what came back:
Wheat
Oats [highest]
Corn
Rice
Soy
Tomato [mild]
Strawberry [mild]

Am I screwed in the food department because all the normal alternatives like soy, rice and corn or on the list? Like if I didn’t want to eat wheat I can’t have corn or rice pasta! What could I choose?
Also with dairy, I avoid dairy but if I can’t have soy, rice or oat milk what can I have?
oh ok thanks proud mamma for helping me!
what is the “Food challenge”? is it where you test your heart rate?
i don’t get rashes from the foods but i do think i get heightened anxiety attacks after eating the foods and my chest feels heavy.
no i did another blood test and it said i wasn’t celiac yet i have wheat listed, hm

Question by paper_abby: What does a MILK allergy look like??? HELP, new mom and so confused.?
I am hoping someone can offer me some advice or help pls!! My baby is 8weeks old and has been on Similac Advance from the hospital on. He is gaining weight well and otherwise seems like a healthy baby.

BUT here is the part that I am so torn and confused about. I am at my wits end and so frustrated. Lately and actually as the weeks go on it seems like he is not doing so well on his formula. I am noticing the following:

Cramps as where he brings his legs up to his stomach
Constant hard farts but not constipated
Not finishing all his bottles and when he does finish he cries sometimes
Plus he is always, always fussy and fidgity.

WHAT is wrong?? Can someone pls tell me if it seems like he might have a milk allergy?? Do you think I should try Soy?? I mean this can not be right?

Any suggestions would be so helpful??
YES I would believe it could be an intolerance not an allergy as well. So would you think that switching to Soy would help then?

Also if I do switch him to Soy, later on in life he would be able to go back to Milk right, if he was allergic?
No he has never had bloody stools, and he did try the goodstart but it did not help either. If he has to “grow” out of this phase why would that be? Does anyone think that it could just be that?

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.
