Dairy/gluten Allergy - Can You Give Me A List Of Definite Safe Foods?

396545383 I think I may have an allergy to dairy or gluten or both. I always have to clear my throat and have a post-nasal drip, I have acne (possible dairy allergy) along with depression, fatigue etc. It may be linked so I want to try cutting said foods out.

    C J - Foods without gluten or dairy in them include all fruit and vegetables, anything made from rice or rice flour, quinoa, anything made with corn or corn meal, all types of meat... If you're trying to avoid gluten and dairy, it's better to look for recipes that are naturally free of both rather than eating substitute products (gluten free pasta, for example, in my experience almost always resembles clag once cooked, and soy milk is, shall we say, an acquired taste).

    There are some good websites you can look up - try celiac support groups for gluten-free e.g. see below. Dairy-free sites are a bit more of a challenge (most of them are run by people selling alternatives such as soy milk) but vegan sites have some good info.

    little bear - You probably need steroid treatment for that! Any way you should see your Dr and get blood tests. Your Dr will know from the test results if it is a food allergen.

    Autumn - gluten reactions occur in the small intestine so if you do have a problem it would be with dairy. it is advisable to exclude only one food group at a time or you won't know which one is responsible for your symptoms. you really shouldn't cut out an entire food group without speaking to your doctor first. your symptoms may not be due to a food intolerance so a check up with your doctor wouldn't go amiss.
