Hi Hathor,

I have been GF for over 4 years. Last summer I had delayed food allergy testing done and learned I had very high reactions to many foods, including all dairy, eggs, soy, legumes, and citrus. I was diagnosed with MS in 1998 and had not had progression of my symptoms since going gluten free. However,I continued to have intense tingling in my legs every day. Since identifying and removing the additional reactive foods from my diet I have had a substantial decrease in the tingling in my legs.

We tested my son for allergies last spring after he was getting sick while on a GF diet and he has many of the same allergies. I searched many "allergy free" type cook books and rarely found a recipe I could use "as is". What works best for us is a whole foods diet. We do not eat a lot of processed foods and rarely go out to eat. I do go out once a month with my book club but am very careful ordering and will gladly have a salad if I do not feel anything else is safe.

Now that John has brought up the coffee allergy I will have to reconsider that one. I still have one cup in the morning but I had tested "moderate" to coffee. My approach was to "just" remove the foods I reacted highly to since that was most major food groups. Now I guess I should consider replacing the coffee.


Sorry I can not help with the yeast question. I am sure you will find a lot of good information here.
