Food Allergies
People who are gluten intolerant are highly likely to have other food sensitivities. It’s usually not very welcome news, since gluten intolerance already means having to follow a restricted diet.
The important thing to remember is gluten can cause irritation and inflammation to the lining of the intestines in people with a sensitivity to it. In effect it makes the gut lining more permeable (leaky). This can set the stage for the development of new food allergies or sensitivities because incompletely digested food molecules can get absorbed into the blood through the leaky gut. This starts off an immune response and future food sensitivity.
Research published in the journal Food and Nutrition Sciences found that “If a subgroup of patients on a gluten free diet does not show improvement in their symptoms, attention should be given to dairy and other cross-reactive foods, such as yeast, corn, oats, millet and rice, as shown in the present study”.
That means if you are not feeling good enough on a gluten free diet, you may want to do a one month trial elimination of the above foods.

Thank you very much for your insightful opinion! Yes, after I posted I realized that I didn't mention she Does eat red meat, chicken, and fish! I also found that if she ate a little bit of chicken gizzard or liver, her eye area turned red again! I wonder if it would be helpful to dig out why her eye area turned red after eating these food but I have no clue where to start. Also, I am reading the book "The Liver Cleansing Diet". Should I give her this diet straight?
Thank you so much again!

It would be good if your daughter followed the eating principles in chapter 5 of The Liver Cleansing Diet book, while keeping red meat in her diet, as it’s such a nutrient dense food for growing children, and it doesn’t contain gut irritants that promote leaky gut.
The red eyes your daughter experiences would be a manifestation of leaky gut, dysbiosis and possibly small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, since those conditions are present to some degree in every person with multiple food sensitivities.

I really wish I have seen your website much much earlier! There are a lot of "ah-ha" moments when I watched your videos and read your articles! My kid has food allergies since she was a baby and she was allergic to the six main categories on the allergy panel: milk, eggs, nuts, peanuts, soy, and gluten. And of course, she is on a limited diet. But I was surprised that when I gave her amino acid formulas like Neocate and EleCare, her immediate reaction was that her eye area turned red! I remembered that I have asked her allergist about it. I cannot give her those formula. She is in elementary school now and recently I was told I can try to give her complete brown rice protein, which my understand is that it has a complete amino acid profile. Guess what, her eye area turned red again! She has dark (not too dark) eye circles. I am wondering what a person can do if they are sensitive to amino acid? If there is a specific type of amino acid that they are allergic to, their body will lack that nutrition, right? Her problems seem not just the problem of the immune system, but also the gut and liver. But where to start because seems like the "chicken and egg" problem and she seems to develop allergies to supplements which were used to help her to have a better gut.
Thank you so much for reading my long comment.
Best regards,

It is not possible to be allergic to the essential amino acids, as the human body requires them for survival. We recommend you give your daughter meat. Humans have been eating meat for more than 2 million years. Intolerance to red meat is very uncommon. It contains all the essential amino acids. Meat, seafood and poultry contain all the amino acids.
