Food Sensitivities

• Could one become sensitive to coconut? I do coconut flour, coconut flakes, coconut oil, coconut butter, and I love it, and I digest it really well. But could one get too much coconut?
• I am an active person. When I added beans to my diet, I immediately started craving carbs, felt fatigued, and gained weight, and my TPO antibodies increased from 200 to 900. I was recently diagnosed with SIBO and a parasite. Could beans be contributing?
• What's the most common side effect of a soy IgG food sensitivity?
• What can I do to make myself less sensitive to foods?
• Should the foods that you test highly sensitive to remain off the menu forever? Can you just try reintroducing them again, at some point?
• I'm sensitive to baker’s yeast and brewer’s yeast on two different IgG tests. Are there any types of foods I should avoid?
• My antibodies are at 18. I’m one of the few people that got better with food. Does that mean that food was my root cause? Are food sensitivities connected?
• Over a year ago I was tested for food sensitivities. I went off nightshades, almonds, gluten, dairy, and a few others. Is it wrong for me to think I will at some time be able to consume nightshades, dairy, cheeses and some bread that may contain gluten?
• I know that gluten is forever out and probably dairy. Is it ever ok to reintroduce any grains such as rice, oats, quinoa or do you recommend never eating those again?
• I tried chicory root as a substitute for coffee. I loved the taste but then I would wake up at night with anal itching, which I never usually have. So, I had to stop drinking it. Why would this happen?
• My practitioner wants me on colostrum for my leaky gut, but it contains dairy. Can I still go dairy free while on it or is that pointless?
• If a test indicates a sensitivity to peppermint, rosemary or lettuce does that mean to stay away from the mints and all lettuces? What about products and oils or essential oils containing any product listed as being sensitive to?
• I believe the goal is to reintroduce foods after healing, but does that include gluten? Or with Hashimoto's, should we remain gluten free?
• If a food sensitivity is positive on the IgE ELISA test, can I use the corresponding essential oil topically or aromatically?
• With regards to the distinction between autoimmune patients reacting to A1 protein milk versus A2 protein milk, is that valid at all? If so, would that mean that goat cheese and goat milk would be safe?
• When do you know your gut is healed? Is it when you add back foods, such as eggs, and do not react?
• My doctor wants me to take a medication that contains lactulose. If I'm dairy intolerant, could I get sick from ingesting this medication?
• I am gluten, dairy, soy, egg, and sugar free. I am feeling better, but still experience burping, gas, and bloating. What additional things do I need to do for my diet to get 100 % relief?
• If I had a couple of uncareful meals, does this mean that all the healing process I've started during the one AIP week is now wasted?
• Have you seen histamine intolerance in your clients?
• I am reactive to dairy. Can I take a supplement that contains lactose?
• Are eggs considered dairy?
• Are grain-like, seeds (like spirulina, quinoa, millet, and brown rice) okay to start with?
• Should I stay away from nightshades? When could I reintroduce them again?
• Should I eat raw nuts? Are walnuts ok for the thyroid?
• Is eating organic goat cheese a problem when you have Hashimoto’s?
• Is lactose the same as dairy sensitivity?
• On the Autoimmune Paleo diet, can we eat tapioca flour, pepper, and green tomato?
• Is it best for Hashimoto's patients to avoid nuts and seeds even though they contain zinc and other good nutrients?
• If I'm allergic to milk, does that mean that I'm allergic to all dairy?
