Part 2 of 5 of my Food Allergy Survival Series: In a way that still surprises me to this day, having food allergies means having difficult conversations about food. These conversations are difficult because, as you know, food is not just food. Food is a inextricable part of our laws of hospitality and to reject someone’s kind offer of food is simply not done. It is a huge breach of social mores. So conversations around food that involve, in essence, whether or not I trust you not to poison me, are hard. It can sound like I’m calling you incompetent and rejecting your loving gesture of food. It can feel like a blunt rejection of a gift that was meant to be lovingly given….

When you think of an allergy, most people think of a severe reaction with shortness of breath, rash and swelling. That extreme reaction is relatively rare. A more common situation is a low grade food allergy with a more subtle, yet over the years, a very destructive reaction that stimulates damaging changes in the body.. Many recent studies are showing that allergies to foods have a direct link to gaining weight, obesity and disease. A recent research article in the New England Journal of Medicine listed 55 diseases that can be traced back to a food allergy. One of those diseases is obesity and weight gain. Undetected allergies will cause an inflammatory reaction when eaten. The problem is the reaction is often delayed 24-48 hours after exposure, so it is difficult to trace vague feelings like fatigue, constipation or softer stools, bloating, gas and mood changes. So the problem continues to grow out of control. The long term effect of out of control inflammation in the body leads a multitude of disease and illness including weight gain and obesity, arthritis and pain, and irritable bowel syndrome to name a few.. Most people will eat foods they are allergic to several times during the day and eventually the inflammation will spread throughout the body and create an environment for weight gain and chronic disease. The gut wall gets swollen and inflamed and has a harder time dealing with its job of defending against invaders like other allergens and infection. They also have a difficult time absorbing nutrients from food. This compounds the problem.. Gluten is the number one hidden food allergy. It is found in wheat, barley, rye, oats, kamut and spelt. Celiac disease is a full blown allergic reaction to gluten where the body attacks the small intestine. It is present in about 1 % of the population. About 30% of the population has non-celiac gluten intolerance where the immune system attacks the gluten. This reaction is much more subtle, but can lead to long term consequences if not uncovered and addressed.. The other top undetected food allergies are dairy, corn, eggs, soy, nuts nightshades (tomatoes, bell peppers, potatoes and eggplant), citrus and yeast (baker’s, brewer’s and fermented products like vinegar). Left undetected they lead to similar problems.. Identifying and treating these food allergies is the first step in combating the effects it has on weight gain, disease and inflammation. Most physicians don’t address this crucial issue when working up a patient with fatigue, weight gain or pain. A simple blood test can help identify hidden food allergies. All testing has its limitations and needs to be interpreted by a provider trained in dealing with food allergies and there long term effect on health and healing. In our clinic we deal with an array of disease and disorder in the body. From my patients with chronic pains, body degeneration and arthritis to the athlete with decreased performance and nagging injuries our goal is to treat there problem from the inside out. We have found that a quick fix cover-up or too many prescription medications that do not address the root cause of the problem does a disservice to the patients we care about. Medicine is evolving and we need to stay on top of the current research to treat and prevent the diseases that rot and plaque our bodies.. Remember, if you carry unwanted weight or suffer from a chronic inflammatory disease like arthritis, pain, diabetes and cancer there is a substantial health benefit in uncovering hidden food allergies that are creating a damaging fire inside you. Healthy food and exercise can be your greatest medicine, but hidden allergies in food can also be your greatest enemy in fighting the battle for your health.

It became the responsibility of the food establishment or the restaurant, whoever. To make sure they gave the information needed. So you’ll notice now if you go into any restaurant there’s always a sign-up or on the menu that is very detailed information about potential allergies whether it be nuts, dairy, eggs. That then helps the consumer make an informed decision about what they can choose to eat in that establishment. There’s a responsibility on the provider of that food or drink to make sure that they take care of their consumer. They have a duty of care. Our job if there’s been an injury if somebody has suffered an allergic reaction then is to see whether there’s a route to compensation in what we call a civil claim against that establishment for there negligence in providing that food when they shouldn’t have done.

It’s impossible to plan a menu that removes all known allergens, but I have attempted to remove the most common ones.The exceptions I have made are eggs, small amounts of fermented soy, and tree nuts, all of which are anti-inflammatory foods if you’re not allergic to them.

This is very timely. The FDA is “temporarily” relaxing food labeling laws to give food manufacturers more flexibility during the pandemic: they can now make minor changes in ingredients without changing the label. The policy says substituted ingredients “should” (not “are required to,” just “should”) cause no adverse health effect (allergies, etc.). There are some problems with this. According to the FDA. soybean oil is safe for people with a soy allergy; however, many people with soy allergy do react to it. Will manufacturers be able to substitute soybean oil without listing it as an ingredient? What about people with allergies other than the top 8? I’m allergic to corn, and found it hard enough to keep track of the many corn derivatives found in American food. (The stuff is nearly ubiquitous.) Now I can’t even trust food labels.
For social gatherings and parties I just make sure that I let them know before hand that I probably won’t be able to eat anything and usually offer to bring some sort of dish and eat ahead. I haven’t figured out what to do with restaurants yet though. When it has to be egg, dairy, gluten, soy, canola oil, ect… free there are not a lot of options. I basically avoid restaurants at all costs.
My mom used tone an RN and she believes I have a gluten intolerance and is making me have IBS..I’m only fifteen and tomorrow I go back to school.

great message. reminds me of my walks 40 years ago with my grandfather to his village vegetable market in India early in the morning to pick up fresh produce for the day’s meals. still remember his lessons on picking the best okra. nothing like fresh, unprocessed foods.
Great talk Ms Sonia, I really like the part where you say not to let your allergies ruin/run your life. The best way you combated the situation was to alter your mindset towards the problem.

Gliadin is a protein found within wheat gluten. It is, from a cold scientific viewpoint, a fascinating issue, a protean protein capable of incredibly varied biologic effects in humans. Among the things we know about gliadin:
–Gliadin is the most abundant protein in wheat, contained within gluten polymers. –Gliadin of 2012 is different from the gliadin of, say, 1960, by several amino acids, part of the genetic transformation of wheat introduced to increase yield-per-acre. –Gliadin is degraded to a collection of polypeptides called exorphins in the gastrointestinal tract. Exorphins cross the blood-brain barrier and bind to opiate-receptors to induce appetite, as well as behavioral changes, such as behavioral outbursts and inattention in children with ADHD and autism, hearing voices and social detachment in schizophrenics, and the mania of bipolar illness. –People who consume gliadin consume 400 calories more per day; people who remove gliadin reduce calorie intake by 400 calories per day.
Incidentally, antibodies to gliadin are capable of binding to nervous system tissue and may contribute to immune-mediate neurological impairment, such as cerebellar ataxia and gluten encephalopathy.
some believe that antibiotics can cause food allergies and my multiple food allergies began after a several month long course of antibiotics to cure acne in my 20s. Never had food allergies before that. Antibiotics which are over-used in our society ruins the lining of our guts making it difficult to break down proteins in food. That’s not the cause of food allergies for everyone but for many it is, so it’s something to keep mind.
Salad without dressing gets SUPER old. Sometimes I still just do it, but mostly (& I think that whether you have allergies or sensitivities or intolerances, it all comes to the same thing) I have decided to be spontaneous in other areas of my life & try to be consistently careful about the food I eat. Even if that means that I say yes to a spontaneous hangout, eat before hand, go out with friends & drink water. I just try to find a way to say yes as often as I can w/out putting myself in danger.
benadryl has help me. My hives sometimes last for up to 7 months at a times My doctor’s still have not been able to help me. I had to start eating just like what you say I know it helps me
I am suffering from anaphylaxis that occurs after eating certain foods.The main food items which cause me urticaria are Maggi noodles,KFC chicken,pizza,chilli chicken,gobi manjurian,parathas.Urticaria occurs to me a number of times and I can’t even figure out which food causes me urticaria.I have done food panel prick test for all commonly available foods and the result is negative for all foods.Until today I can’t find out which food causes me urticaria and it will help if someone guide me find which food ingredient is responsible for urticaria.Mine is not chronic and fade away in 2 or 3 hours.Any kind of recommendations and suggestions are highly appreciated.Thanks in advance.Cheers!!!
18 seconds in & already YES. The social pressure’s huge. My issues are more sensitivities/intolerances, but I have caved to the pressure & hugely regretted it.
Eating out with a group of people, spur of the moment (or even not) can be so difficult. Even if I’ve researched places in the area that have plenty of gluten-free, dairy-free options. W/so many opinions we don’t always go there. And I hate feeling like a pain, or I’m being pushy. Eating garden salads w/no dressing gets old though…

thank u mam…its very helpful for me too bcoz i m also going through this the most important msg is the attitude to deal with that…
