Food intolerances - spill 'em!

I got to have it tested or something. I have diarrhea all the time. Not looking forward to it...

My body hates spinach and kale! Yay for me!

Goats cheese, doesn't pop up in everyday diet but I love a goats cheese pizza :-( for about an hour before I see it again!

Gluten (Celiac) allergies to peanuts, hazelnuts and almonds. And intolerances to dairy, rice, corn and vegetable oils. And I have Crohn's so I can't eat any type of nuts or seeds, and veggies are not always good.

Are your intolerances diagnosed by a doctor or self? I'm struggling with an intolerance but cant tell what exactly or if its worth bothering a doctor with...any advice?

I'd go to a natural therapist. They do reaction tests where you don't have to consume the item, simply hold it, and they can test your body's reaction. They can also offer natural remedies to assist your body in coping with the intolerance.

I’ve been wheat intolerant for the last 30 years (I suspect it was triggered by taking very large doses of antibiotics I was prescribed after my daughter was born). The last couple of years I’ve been eating a lot of bought gluten-free breads and I’m now thinking that these might have been the reason for my weight gain over the last two years. I’d be interested to hear if anyone else has had this happen to them too.

I rarely eat gluten free bread, I had two gluten free sandwiches over the weekend AND OMG was I sick, I bloated out like you would not believe and overnight I gained 5LBS!!!! It was all the salt and sugar (which is quite common in gluten free breads) Crazy, I hate the taste of it anyway but we were trying to find something we could pack when we go camping, well that is off the list forever.

Potatoes, eggplant, and tomatoes. Wah!!!! I was alerted to these intolerances abt 3 years ago so at age 32. My guts definitely let me know if I've had too much potato or tomato, rather violently.

I'm the same, apart from egg plant which I don't eat often enough to notice.

Courgette seems to be a new one for me and caused me to lose two days off work.
Tomatoes since last year ( at mother's 70th birthday bash, knocked the pensioners flying in my mad dash to get to a toilet) and for years potatoes, pasta and bread if consumed in huge quantities causes my IBS to flare up.

I avoid peanuts because my throat and chest becomes itchy and I wheeze. I really miss peanut M&ms.
The doctor said I shouldn't self diagnose and said it was asthma and prescribed an inhaler. ????
I don't have asthma and I don't eat peanuts.

I was advised by a friend to read the book - "Eat 4 Your Blood type" and let me tell you it has completely changed the way I eat and how I feel. So many of the items listed for my blood type I had already figured out were an issue and it just confimed it but boy there were so many more. I have tried ever so often to introduce something back in that I "thought" was ok and boy was I wrong. I use to get horrible bloating and water weight gain almost daily now it might be only once every few weeks. For instance I can't eat chicken, wheat, corn products, shrimp, pomegranite, peanut butter to name a few. Now when I eat something I'm not supposed to my reaction can vary from bloating to vomiting no fun but I feel so much better. I am also allergic to any kind of melon. It is so bad that if I even try to eat some I can't "reach" the itch in my ears and throat - I've been known to use the fork to scratch the roof of my mouth, so of coarse you won't catch me eating any melon now.

I haven't been diagnosed, but if I eat bell peppers (particularly green), I will burp them for DAYS. I just avoid them if I can, and pick them out of my food if I can't.

Lactose intolerant my whole life, and I developed soy intolerance & gluten intolerance in the past few years. I rarely eat yogurt/kefir (makes my nose run), sometimes I eat cheese, and I avoid everything else dairy. If I slip up with wheat, I feel groggy, get a headache, and end up with a wheat/gluten hangover the next day... And I avoid soy at all costs.
