Guest guest Posted March 15, 2000 Report Share Posted March 15, 2000 Hi everyone, I got my allergy test results back yesterday and they came back negative for all foods. The doc says I just must have intolerances to 95% of all foods. I totally do not understand how I can get hives and tongue/face/throat swelling and have benadryl help if the immune system is not involved. He said I could eat whatever I wanted and just take claritin, so last night I ate turkey that wasnt one ingredient and within minutes my eyes and nose started to itch and puff and my lips and tongue were swelling and I was throwing up all night long. I " ve read that food intolerant people have a more permeable gut that allows the peptides to leak out. That's how a doc 2 years ago decided I became allergic to foods, a gut leak. I've been throwing up even when I don't eat recently, and sometimes I'll throw up food 18 hours after I ate it. The GI says it's stress. Since this has been going on 3 years, I want to be scoped again just to check out my esophagus. Last time, over a year ago, it was starting to turn into columnar epithelial tissue near the base and that's where the eosinophils were. My stomach was fine and so were my teeth, so they didn't seem too worried. I had to switch docs when I moved to college and when the pediatics couldn't help me anymore. I also have narcolepsy, severe migraines, GERD, anxiety/panic disorders, depression (duh!), circadian rhythm disorder, and food allergy/intolerances. I know alot of these can be linked to the thalamus and my basilar artery is 50% constricted. Does anyone know if any stomach disorders are linked to the thalamus? Any suggestions on what type of things to ask the GI when I call? There is no resistance when I vomit at all, I can't lean over or lay down after I eat for several hours or it all just falls out. Any ideas at all? Thanks, Kelsey ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
