Improvement in food intolerance symptoms?

Hi John,
My diet is posted at the beginning of this topic, but it is mostly beef, celery root and peeled pears. I have been on the zero A diet for just over one year. I didn't use accutane or mega doses of vit A, just regular vitamins, lots of dairy, CLO and liver. Liver was the turning point that tipped me into obvious hypervitaminosis, my face was suddenly covered in small dry bumps, bright red and very sensitive to touch and heat (rosacea). I also had lots of other symptoms, just like Grant, but I hadn't connected them to hypervitaminosis. I have had a gluten intolerance for a few years that gradually expanded to include all grains, even white rice. I think I'll stick with white rice for a while and then maybe try some other gluten free grains! Oh boy!

That's encouraging to hear about the white rice. I can't eat it at present. I tried it last weekend and still have gut pain 5 days later. I'm glad you are seeing improvements.

Hi everyone,
I thought I should post an update. My love affair with rice is officially over! I ate rice for about a month and eventually got myself into big trouble! I also tried rice flour which may have been contaminated with corn and that was the last straw. I ended up with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a nightmare of spinning vertigo if your head is in a certain position. It seems to have no known cause, but stems from inflammation (auto-immune anyone?!). I did some research and it can be linked loosely to gluten intolerance. I also followed some links on various blogs about gluten intolerance and gluten free grains. I found a paper where they tested different foods against a gluten antibody (attached below). Lo and behold, rice, corn and millet all react with the gluten antibody, as does milk! I think this explains my continuing, low level trouble with rice. Rice is supposed to be the least problematic of all gluten free grains, but if you have a gluten intolerance then rice can also cause problems. The paper also tries to pinpoint which tissues might be targeted by the gluten antibodies, and brain, nerve, liver, adrenal, thyroid and bone are all high on the reactivity list! Yikes! Now that I know the science behind my problem with rice, I will leave it alone. I found some corn-free tapioca flour on-line and will try that for a while. I will report back with my progress, fingers crossed!

Tapioca flour is a starch, for me was problematic, when my gut was very damaged I didn't tolerate any gluten free grains and starches- rice, millet, corn... the worst was gluten free oat, only very small amounts of white jasmine rice - is not so starchy and small amounts of potatoes. I used small amounts of chestnut, coconut, tiger nuts and pumpkin seed flours.
