Can Lactose Intolerance Come Back?

Just wondering, in the last month or so I have been feeling queasy after eating hard cheese and other dairy products.  I have also been glutened twice during this period.  I am just wondering, having been able to tolerate hard cheese after a few weeks of going gluten free a year ago, could this glutening be responsible for damaging the tips of the villi enough, where I understand lactase is produced, to bring back lactose intolerance.  I'm hoping this is only a temporary thing.

Hard cheeses are mostly lactose free.  They do have lots of casein in them though.  If you are having reactions to a food it's usually a good idea to avoid it for 6 months or so and then try it again.

Yes, having been glutened, your gut will loose some of what it needs to break down the hard cheese. You can gain that back with probiotics and the healing of your gut. Takes me a while to be able to eat greek yogurt after being glutened. But there are good probiotics in greek yogurt. There's also pill form, drinks in health food stores, plain yogurt with no frills, and probiotic liquid yogurt drinks. As soon as you find out what the glutening was from, and heal up, with probiotics you'll eat hard cheese just fine again.

When I get glutened I seem to lose the ability to produce lactase for a couple of weeks.  I also seem to lose the ability to digest fat.  With cheese, which is lower in lactose than milk, it might be the fat getting you rather than lactose.  These things are temporary as long as I fix my diet.

Thank you everyone.  Steph, you do sound like you have very similar reactions to me, perhaps it is the fat.  Oh well... back to the tinned sardines (my nutritionalist said I should eat them for my calcium intake!)

      Thank you for this information and your post. I have tried just about every diet there is. I have been experimenting with diet for years and years. I am a vegan, so the diet you mentioned is not an option. Fasting always works for me. Probably because I am detoxing and not feeding candida or parasites. Meat eaters have a higher prevalence of parasites, just so you know. I have a feeling that every time I break out on probiotics it's due to some kind of war with my gut biome. I definitely need to find a system of flushing out my gut so that the probiotics don't have to fight as hard to populate.

      Sommersby cider, alcohol generally

      By bharal · Posted

      I'm unsure if sommersby cider is likely to have cross contamination issues, given its made by a beer company. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm assuming wine generally is ok, as it's bottled in a vineyard, but what about other (ostensiblygluten free) liquors?

      @BoiseNic Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  This Paleo diet cuts out most everything except meat, veggies and some fruits.  By cutting out all the carbohydrates, especially processed ones, the carbohydrate loving bacteria and fungi like Candida get starved out and die off.  After that, taking probiotics to help repopulate the gut is beneficial.  The new strains of bacteria don't have to fight the established unhealthy yeasts and bad bacteria which causes a rise in histamine levels which can make one feel sick.   Certain vitamins help keep bad bacteria and fungi at bay.  Thiamine is one.  Antibiotics can deplete Thiamine stores.  The Gluten free diet can be low in Thiamine and the other vitamins and minerals needed for healthy skin and digestive tract.  Vitamin C, Vitamin D, zinc, and Niacin B 3 are important to skin health.  Niacin is especially helpful in Dermatitis Herpetiformis.  I like the kind that flushes (Nicotinic Acid - not the same as nicotine in cigarettes).  The flushing gets less and less the longer it's taken, but Niacinamide which doesn't cause flushing can be taken instead.     Here's an interesting article.  Compare the bacteria mentioned in the article with your Skinesa and then with the Visbiome probiotics.   The Role of Probiotics in Skin Health and Related Gut–Skin Axis: A Review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10385652/ Visbiome https://www.visbiome.com/collections/all/products/visbiome-capsules

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      The short answer is if it hurts, don't do it. Yogurt may help sooth your gut and repopulate it with benificial bacteria.  I prefer whole milk yogurt because it is not processed and the no fat yogurt is processed dehydrated milk powder with guar gums and water added to make it mouth feel like fat.  Especially in early healing there may be other foods you cannot tolerate for a while.

      I guess I would encourage you to abstain from the wine for a while. If you know something causes you pain then it is a good idea not to do it if you don't have to.
