I don't. I would be afraid it would make me sick.

A friend whose son also has an auto-immune disease that has food triggers including dairy, uses ghee safely.

 

The reason for this, the butter has been "clarified" breaking down the proteins.  The proteins are what cause the reactions.  It is a personal decision.  I understand the logic, as my daughter was put on amino acid formula.

It depends on why you are avoiding dairy. I would never let my dairy allergic child have it.

StephanieL, I'm avoiding because of the casein protein. I'm not allergic to dairy. Thank you for your responses! I will probably not be incorporating ghee into my diet. :)

Whenever I have Indian curry cooked with ghee I don't feel too good afterwards...

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people react to the Casein in dairy the same as to gluten, like me.  I avoid dairy avidly because I get ataxia so bad. Some Celiac people produce tTg 6 antibodies in response to gluten or casein.  tTg 2 antibodies are what blood tests for Celiac measure.  tTg 6 antibodies are also found in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, contributing to ataxia.  Have you been checked for tTg 6 antibodies?

      False blood test positive?

      I agree that you were not eating sufficient gluten prior to your endoscopy.

      Hi Knitty Kitty,  Thanks for sending all of these articles.  Some of them are too complex for me to parse.  That said, I had extensive blood tests done when the ataxia started.  I was a little low on Vit. D.  My doc thought I might be low on Vit. K.  But no.  K levels were completely normal as were all of my B Vits. levels.  I take a D supplement but even with that, if I have lactose, I start to feel my head get inflamed.  It is what it is.

      @Soleihey, Do get checked for thiamine deficiency.  Blood tests for thiamine deficiency are not accurate.  You can have "normal" levels in the blood, but still be deficient because thiamine stores inside cells are depleted.  Thiamine deficiency can cause ataxia, tremor, muscle twitching, leg weakness, constipation, and slurred speech.  I had these symptoms and more that did not resolve with a one a day type vitamin.  I needed high doses of Thiamine to correct the deficiency.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Pregnancy can deplete thiamine stores.   Interesting Reading: Thiamine deficiency disorders: a clinical perspective https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/
