Sara, just out of curiosity, who diagnosed you with that (lengthy) set of food allergies?
What kind of methodology was used to arrive at a diagnosis? What kind of practitioner helped you (if any)?
It's unusual for someone with a food
allergy to have a lot of difficulty sticking with strict avoidance, though very common with foods that aren't allergens or are intolerances rather than allergens. It's mostly a matter of just HOW sick you get when you eat the allergens-- with a food allergy, you generally feel
really sick-- critically ill, in fact-- sicker than most people have EVER felt, even with something awful like a norovirus or the flu.
It sounds like you're still quite tempted by one or more of the foods on that list, and your symptoms overlap-- but do not
match-- thsoe for an IgE-mediated food allergy.
My reactions are; throwing up, pain, SWELLING and I mean all over like someone has plugged me into an air pump!, tired, sad, depressed, cranky, foggy mentality, trouble remembering things, either quick BMs or none at all, irritability, nausea, gas, rumbling tummy, heart racing...this seems to be it.
Some of those symptoms are very unlikely to be related to food allergy-- though as noted above, they can certainly occur as a result of intolerance-- or may be from something else entirely. Some of those symptoms are potentially VERY dangerous, however-- and I get the impression that you've been managing this on your own and "deciding" whether or not eating your allergens is worth it. Please consult with your doctor
before doing that again!!
If you haven't yet been seeing an allergist with good expertise related to
food allergy in particular, I strongly encourage you to do that. Be sure that your allergist knows about ALL of your symptoms, and how rapidly (or not) they occur after eating an allergen, what else is consumed with the allergen, etc. Also know that it is only
very remotely possible that you have actually become allergic to everything on that list. Adults can and do develop food allergies, but they almost
always are to a set of related foods which are known to be highly allergenic. Your list includes some things that naturopaths are
infamous for (mis)diagnosing patients with, too.
It's good that you were apparently evaluated for celiac. That should definitely be ruled out with the range of symptoms you listed.
