Hi all,
I recently went through a month of an allergy-elimination diet. After 3 weeks, I was excited to go to the doc and get "rewarded" for my good run of eating NOTHING. I am the Queen of eating out, and for 3 weeks I didn't eat out once. I stayed home and ate the foods on my diet plan, which included NO gluten, dairy, soy, corn, sugar, and lots of other things. As you all know, it was very limiting.

After 3 weeks I saw my doc, and he agreed that it didn't seem like the diet was helping me, but told me to stay off 5 things... gluten, dairy, soy, corn, sugar. I replied, that's everything still! I was so heartbroken to not get any reward, I immediately went out to eat. And since then, I've started eating all those things again. My stomach has been fine since, but I am suffering from the previous problems. Yeast, autoimmune, peripheral neuropathy.

When I added peanut back in, no reaction. I added almonds, no reaction. So shortly I added cheese. NO REACTION. Then I started with the bread products, still no reaction. Basically, I added some things simultaneously and still no reaction. There have been 3 times I have had a reaction. #1 - an herbal tea from Teavana that included CREAM. #2 - Sour CREAM. #3 - decaf coffee with CREAM. I also had already thought that ice CREAM and MILK caused problems.

Does anyone know if someone can have problems with milk and cream but NOT cheese? I can sit here and eat cheese and crackers all night. I love it. But I don't ever feel discomfort. Is there something different in CREAM vs. cheese?

I'm asking you because I know anyone with celiac or gluten sensitivity has most likely done a lot of research or done the diet already. If you can point me to another place to ask, I will do so. Or, is gluten still a possibility? Thank you!!

P.S. I thought I had problems with sugar but none of my tests have ever showed a problem, including a 3-hour glucose screening. However I still worry about sugar due to yeast issues. My stomach used to be upset, since using glutamine in a morning shake with fiber, my stomach does not get upset anymore. I only notice it when I have CREAM.
