more sensitive?

Post by sonja »

Hi all,

I am in remission for some years and I am succesfull in finetuning my diet since I stopped drinking wine in january because of reflux.
I wonder if it is possible to become more sensitive to food, now I am avoiding more and more my triggers and my diet becomes less varied.
Last week I used coconut aminos and I reacted to it, although (I thought) that was not a problem before. And recently I reacted on a peace of chocolate with no triggers but only sugar in it. I thought earlier that I could tolerate sugar in a very small amount.
I thought that I could reintroduce some food now I am stable, but I wonder if that is a good plan.
Has someone experience with this?

I don't believe it's common, but I don't believe it's rare, either, for us to become sensitive to some foods after we've been in remission a while. After I achieved remission, I tested negative to soy sensitivity at Enterolab, but a few years later I began to react to peanuts, so I did another Enterolab test and discovered that I'm now sensitive to soy (peanuts are legumes, and most of us who are sensitive to soy, are sensitive to most legumes, also).

I used to love chocolate, but I can't eat it now, without reacting. I've never eaten coconut aminos, but that's a fermented product, so I couldn't eat it anyway, because all fermented foods have a high histamine level, and I have a problem with histamine sensitivity. Chocolate is also a high histamine food.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
