I just found out on Monday that my husband is allergic to barley (he has eosinophilic esophagitis and allergy testing showed barley, tomatoes and shellfish as the items he is most allergic to). After 2 trips to the grocery store this week, I would like to point out that beer is not the only concern. Try to find a loaf of bread in the bread aisle which doesn't have barley flour in it. This now raises the concern that he can't eat bread or buns unless we have the packaging to check the ingredients (it also rules out any breaded/fried items in a restaurant). It is also in some cereals. These items are things I have come up with in the 3 days since his diagnosis.

I Iam allergic to wheat, barley, dairy,soy, latex, Starch and everything on the upperpage, what can I eat?

I have always had a problem with eggs, milk and chocolate. spaggetti,bread , cheese and a whole lot of other things.When I say problem, I mean my skin gets itchy and I suffer from outbreaks of boils on my buttocks area. For many years I have been told by doctors that there is no cure for the boils. I have suffered a lot as you can imagine ,the pain from the boils makes it hard to live a normal life. I also see that they get irritated now when I wear pants that have elastic in them, it seems that all jeans have that now. They have been getting worse and sometimes I have to take antibiotics for them because they get so infected. I have noticed now, that they blow up as soon as I eat bread, or spaggetiti. Does it sound like I am alergic to gluten? I must mention that I have had skin problems all my life. The first boil I can remember was in second grade, Since then they have multiplied and break out all at the same time. I cry from the pain. My sister suffers with them too. I always thought I was lactose intolerant,but know I just don't know. Please help me figure this out, I would like to live a normal life.

I have been having trouble with heartburn, acid indigestion for a while. It seems lately after I eat my stomach begins to feel "icky" and sometimes immediately after eating I get diarhrea. I have been very tried also.
What do you recommend?

Hey, I'd like to start by telling my story.

I always had perfect skin. Even as a teenager, I never had any skin problems. In 2008, I decided to turn vegetarian. I did it in one shot, just stopped eating anything meat related. A couple months in I started to get acne around my chin. After another couple months, I had full blown stage 3 acne. I became so self conscious, I quit my job. Even though friends and family kept telling me my body was maybe reacting to food changes, I couldn't get why eating "healthier" would cause so much havoc. So I read things about detoxing and how it was the bodys way of dealing, so i figured I'd just deal with it and eventually everything would be fine. Well a year had passed and no change whatsoever. Tried so many face creams, cleansing systems which made no difference at all. I went back to eating meat a couple months ago. Since bread and pasta had been heavily incorporated in all my meals as a vegetarian, when I started eating meat again I started consuming them less. I notice my face wouldn't swell in the evening as it used to before. The acne stayed but my overall face was much less tender. I still didn't make the correlation between the bread and my acne until a couple weeks ago. I had been exercising and eating mostly protein and vegetables. On the weekend, I decided to have a "binge" and ate bread, cookies, pancakes; the works. The next day my face was so horribly swollen and I had again started to have cystic acne which had seemed to go away. I then realised maybe it was a food allergy, even though the doctor had told me it was impossible because if I wasn't tolerating food I would have more severe reactions such as stomach pains and breathing issues. He told me it was just acne and to deal with it. I have have an appointment with an allergy specialist in May, but it's in quite a while and I would like to know if there is a strong possibilty that I may have a food intolerance.

Is it possible for a person to have only have skin problems due to an allergy? I also get rashes now and then on my stomache area, below the navel and to the sides. It's usually after I eat spaghetti.

I am still taking precautions and trying to eliminate as much wheat as I can from my diet, but I don't want to make the same mistake again and start another chain reaction.

Thank-you
-Jane
