Gluten Free Diets

I didn't know anyone who has an allergy of peanuts but the best thing to do maybe is to avoid it and if it is hard to avoid or there are really instances where the person who is allergy will happen to eat it, there are medicines available.I want to quote this information which I read before "Antihistamines can be taken after exposure and allergic reaction to peanuts, to counter its full onset. Antihistamines are available over-the-counter without a prescription and can relieve some of the discomfort associated with the symptoms of peanut allergy."

I haven't heard that kind of allergy here in my country or maybe I was aware of it yet.Anyway,trying to have some more informations about this issue,I have time to search and found this site for you,take time to read and maybe the cure you're looking for was in here.Thanks you. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/peanut-allergy/DS00710

I didn't have very severe food allergies as a child, but I am starting to get some as an adult as well as some other sensitivities. I feel so much better when I don't eat certain things that it's worth me avoiding those foods. But, the only person I know that really has to avoid gluten is someone I know with Celiac disease. She can't have any type of grain at all and has to avoid gluten entirely or she gets really ill. Her digestive track can't metabolize the gluten and it can debilitate her. I've heard of other people going on gluten free diets, but I don't really know if it's all that beneficial unless your suffering something like Celiac disease. I know that some people eat way too many grains and gluten to begin with and probably need to cut down, anyway. For me, gluten-free products are often too glycemic and can give me headaches.

Hey there gitfiddlplayer I dont think there is a cure for that. But Im not allergic to peanut butter I love it. And I dont know anyone who is.

I too can eat anyhting i want without any fear of allegeries too.. lOL ^_^ But i do find it weird that ple can be allergy to peanuts.. How can that happen??

I worked with a man who had a severe peanut allergy. I used to bake cookies and take them into work and he would never touch them. Then I found out why. If anything I had baked had even come in contact with something that had peanuts he could have gone into anaphylactic shock meaning his neck would swell up and he would not be able to breathe. Nowadays most people with severe allergies such as this carry an epipen. And epipen gives them a shot of epinephrine (adrenaline) to counteract the allergic shock. There is no cure for these conditions and some can be so severe that even smelling a peanut can send them into an allergic reaction.

Hello Gitfiddleplayer, I have Celiac Disease, meaning that gluten is a toxin to my system. I am also allergic (not sensitive to, but allergic to) cow dairy. So, my diet is gluten and bovine dairy free. I have had both allergies since birth. Though, doctors 'back then' told parents that their newborns would grow out of food allergies. Because of that fallacy, I (and no doubt countless others) have suffered both permanent, and short of colonoscopy, undetectable damage to the cilia of the intestinal tract, and countless misdiagnoses from childhood. Interestingly enough, Celiac, or the complete inability to digest the protein Gluten, affects approximately 3 in 10 Americans of Western European descent. It has only recently been an easily diagnosable immuno issue. A great many physicians are still in the dark as to the symptoms of the genetic predisposition. The reality is that the protein Gluten is perceived by the affected's immune system as a toxin, so the immune system efforts itself to fight it. In the process, the immune system destroys the intestinal cilia, rendering the affected with a whole host of correlative health issues, not the least of which is persistent malnutrition -- especially relating to the 'B-Complex' of vitamins. There is no cure for a true allergy! However, a sensitivity is a whole different story. Supporting intestinal health (including the erradication of intestinal parasites and fungi), through diet and supplementation can eliminate a sensitivity. However, a true allergy is life-long, as it is hereditary. A word to the wise, if one is of European descent, especially Western European descent, where gluten is a comparatively new food source, the symptoms of Celiac may not become even slightly apparent until after much of the damage has been done. Bearing in mind that the destruction of the Intestinal Cilia is a precursor to Colon Cancer, Leaky Gut Syndrome, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Chrohn's Disease, and Malnutrition, and perhaps other related chronic health disorders, it is prudent to consider one's intake of gluten products carefully, IF one is of European descent. Yup, this is probably more than you had hoped to learn about this inconvenient, life-long, condition -- but since you asked, there you have it. If you have any specific questions, relating to a friend or relative who is gluten intollerant, I'll do my best to be of assistance. You need only ask.

I've said this many times myself...I can't believe how many people have peanut allergies now. Just like you, growing up, not one person had a peanut allergy in any of my schools. I have two daughters and they both have kids in their classes with peanut allergies. The schools have what is called "peanut free environments". I even see the warnings up in restaurants and on food packages that the food may have come in contact with nuts...which brings me to another question. Why is it only a peanut allergy? They can eat other nuts, just not peanuts? Why would that be? As far as a gluten free diet, I don't know anyone who is on that, but again, I've been seeing more and more products turning up in the stores that say they are gluten free.

supposedly mom has a gluten allergy. i say supposedly,because last month they said it was lactose.which means i have to radically change her diet until they figure it out. i ready don't think there's any remedy for that outside stopping eating it. i think for peanut allergies they may have some kind of emergency stuff,like bee kits..

My friend, I have just finished making peanut butter. I even licked the vessel clean. I am one of those rare fools who doesn't know what is Gluten free diet. I guess that means I eat anything and everything. As for peanuts, I just love them. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Cheers and happy mylotting

My son's have a friend that comes around to play and he has a peanut allergy, when he first came to play I found it quite scary and was terrified that my boys would give him something with nuts in it by accident. But the little boy is very aware of what he can and cannot eat and if he is not sure then he will not have it. As far as I know there is no cure for it other than to avoid eating nuts for the rest of his life.

My son has a friend who he has been friends with since Kindergarten and has been in his class at least 4 times. He is deathly alergic to a lot of things, especially peanuts, but he eats a gluten free diet as well. His mom is really good about making things, and finding things that are OK for him to eat. I don't think there is really a cure.

i love peanut very much, and many times i will eat lots of peanut if there is a chance. and pityfully, i have light peanut allergy, while it is not so severe.

I agree, growing up I never heard of anyone being allergic to anything but beestings. When I went to college there was someone there who was allergic to peanuts, and one who was allergic to seafood. Now I know a lot of people with various allergies and intolerences. One of my best friends can't have gluten. When she comes to visit I have to totally clean the kitchen before preparing any food for us as any crumbs coming in contact with her food could make her really ill.

I know several people that cannot eat gluten. No cure. They just have to stop eating gluten

I guess as gluten sensitivity becomes better known, more people are being diagnosed where previously they would have just suffered on. So it just seems that more people are gluten sensitive. I try to cut out gluten and caffeine when I have sinusitis. It just won't go away otherwise, but a diet change does do the trick. It's dreadfully hard to do though, so I feel very sorry for those who have to avoid gluten ever day. As for peanut allergies, I believe that these and similar may be increasing due to our reliance on processed foods, chemicals etc etc. I don't know any scientific reason for it, but it seems logical to me.

As we all and You might also know Fact about anything i.e.,anything in life,"EXCESS OF ANYTHING IS HARMFULL".So elergy also starts when anything is excess.So avoid whatever is not suitable to your body for sometime and start gradually.It may give you relief for your present problem also
