I have been dealing for years with stomach and gastric issues.
It blows my mind that I went nearly a decade of my life without ever having any kind of stomach illness other than the kind of “knots in stomach” triggered by stress.
Now, for the last half decade or so, it’s just this constant cycle of getting beaten up behind the dumpster after school by my bully stomach.
I just need this shit to stop. My sanity is waning.
I made a combined IgE/IgG4 test years ago. Had to pay fifty bucks out of pocket, because it is “just a food allergy” Turns out I’m severely allergic to bananas. Fucking bananas, didn’t even know this was possible. (On top of beeing allergic to the whole wheat family).
Wish you all the best.
Holy crap, the entire wheat family! I’m so sorry. But I’m glad you got answers. Aw man, I hope that isn’t what this is I’m dealing with. But I will still be grateful to have answers whatever they turn out to be.
Just to be clear: there are different allergic systems, Ige/igg is the most harmless one, since this system can unlearn the allergy once the food is gone for a long time. Guess thats why it was never tested. My wheat allergy is (histamine based and) apparently permanent.
If it is - no fear. I can still eat buckwheat (apparently not belonging to the wheat family), oat and everything else. My latest favourite thing is pastries made from rice flour. (The only thing I have to look out for is ingredients that have been milled in wheat mills, like corn starch etc)
