Allergic to Pizza and Pasta? - Allergies Message Board

Every time i eat pizza or pasta, i get acid reflux, diarrhea(i cant spell), excessive gas and a really bloated feeling although I haven't eaten much. I thought it might be the wheat but i'm fine with things like bread. From what I can tell its only these two foods that really do it.

Can anyone make any suggestions? Do I have to stop eating pizza or pasta? Or is there a way to fix it?

Gluten was my first guess, but could it possibly be sauce or cheese?

I'm not sure what gluten is. And as for sauce, i don't know what in the sauces would trigger it. Its not garlic or onions, its not tomato or sugar. Because i can eat them in other foods and not have this problem. Cheese, would be linked with some kind of dairy problem, but as I don't have a problem with milk, yogurt, or any other dairy product I kind of scrapped that one off my list as well. This really has me beat.

You may be lactose intolerant. I am allergic to anything with milk in it such as cheese,ice cream,cottage cheese,etc. Lactose causes upset stomach, gas,and bloating. It would be a good idea to see your doctor and find out for sure what is wrong. Take care.

Oregano? Basil? Aged cheese (like Parmesan or Romano)?

We can guess, but since you have ruled out wheat (that's where the gluten comes in), tomatoes and dairy, it might be time for a doctor's visit and allergy testing.

Either that, or give them up (which I would hate to do).
