What can I have?

I have the same issues. It sounds like you might have multiple food allergies, namely to wheat, soy, and commercial dairy, as well as foods high in amines and salicylates-a common problem for people with autoimmune issues. (I was crippled with lupus until I gave up these foods). You can easily add in quinoa (pronounced keen wa, and available at health food stores) Quinoa is a complete protein grain that is easily tolerated by gluten intolerant people. You can use it like rice or pasta, or buy the flakes and flour for making muffins, quick breads, pancakes and waffles. Google "foods high in amines, or foods high in salycilates" to learn more about those foods. Also, you may tolerate organic veggies and fruits, where you previously had issues with commercial produce-usually people are actually reacting to the pesticide residues and genetically modified versions of these foods. The most common pesticide used is auxigrow, which is 29 percent MSG! Many people have bad reactions to eat, but do fine when they eat the organic food. Feel free to email me if you need more info. I am vegetarian, and still manage to maintain an interesting diet, despite being allergic to many foods. Commercial dairy will put me in the hospital in a flash, but I do just fine with organic, raw dairy. I make homemade cheese, er and yogurt with the raw milk and cream, and have no issues with it at all. Most dairy or lactose intolerant people are actually reacting to the proteins from soy, wheat and corn that are fed to commercial animals, and to the steroids, growth hormones and antibiotics the animals are given. The same goes for commercial meat.
