jdqm Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 This also affects me. I found out last year that i am actually allergic to cane sugar. I have chemical intolerances where i need to leave the room when cleaners are used, and most perfumes bother me as well. that means any fragranced product gives me a reaction, even some makeups have caused reactions.i have many food intolerances, including gluten and caesin.

jjb Posted April 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Joy, were you formally tested for fructose malabsorption?I think cane sugar has just a little bit more fructose in it than glucose.What tests did you have for the gluten & casien sensitivity?

cordila Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I can't do gluten, casein, alcohol, caffeine. Limited sugar. No cherries, pineapple, or turkey. I seem to be OK with chemicals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomtoGiuliana Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 Not sure of the definition of intolerance. I get POTS-y occasionally when exposed to chemicals. I had a bad POTS reaction to hair color recently. Don't seem to have any problems with any foods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakentesh Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 when i first got POTS anything would set it off - pizza, sugar, corn, yeast - you name it! As it settled down the first time thankfully these allergies havent returned as much. Ive never been intolerant to alcohol - despite the fact im regularly told I should be - infact i find it helpful at times. Things that still set me off in particular are aftershave and face creams. Im a guy so this isnt too much of an issue, but something in them brings on POTS for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babettess Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Dairy products seem to set off my POTS symptoms and my IBS. Perfume,overly fragrant smells and cigarette smoke give me headaches and make me cough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
