I keep reading that we crave the foods we are allergic to.
How does anyone know this?
I just got the results of my blood test and it says I'm allergic to dairy, soy, eggs, beans, and some other things. I've been a vegetarian for over 20 years and these are ALL of my protein sources. (I don't eat fish or chicken either for those of you who think they aren't meat-- they are.) So, I'm pretty devastated at the idea that I'll have to go back to eating meat in order to get enough protein and feel full.
But, how do I know I'm not allergic to meats as well? I haven't eaten them for decades.
I'm confused as to whether I'm actually allergic to these foods that I tested positive for or is it simply that I eat them very often and the test reflects the fact that I'm exposed to them.
I do tend to crave dairy, but I definitely do NOT crave beans, soy or eggs (except as in mayonaise or salad dressing). And there were a number of foods that I eat a lot that I tested negative for.
And there's the whole leaky gut thing...are these allergies at all or just a result of leaky gut problems?
I was diagnosed with celiac disease 7 years ago and have been on a strict gluten free diet but with absolutely no improvement in my IBS symptoms (mainly bloating and constipation, with diarrhea triggered by anxiety)
Any advice? What the heck should I eat for protein now? (I need more variety than simply eating quinoa every day.)
Any similar experiences?
Has anyone cured their leaky gut?
