Gluten And Casein

Hello I just got my results back and I am gluten and casein sensitive. I have been gluten-free but casein is new to me. I know it is milk protein but is that in all dairy foods? Like butter, cheese, sour cream things like that? And so if I find a gluten-free cookie that has butter in it would that be bad for me? In other words is it like gluten-free that when I go to the store I need to check all labels for casien or milk? Would hidden amounts hurt me? What if I didn't get symptoms would it hurt my intestines from healing? I am just curious I can't seem to find much info on this.

--I know I see a lot of people on here that are both gulten and casien sensitive how do you get calcium do I need to take supplements?

_I know this is a lot of questions but I am just so curious now. I took on the gluten-free challenge so now I am taking on the CF challenge.

thanks

Kayla

I am also casein sensitive, but I haven't been compliant. I am getting tested again on the 29th.

You might want to search the internet for information on the gluten free casein free diet. There are actually alot of resources available because they've discovered that autistic kids do better on this diet. There is a huge network of parents who know all about what is both gluten and casein free. They sell books, etc. I don't have the link right now but you can search for it.

Good luck!

thank you I have been searching the internet and I did find that a lot of autistic kids go on the Gluten-free Casein-free diet. I am learning more but still I need to learn more about it. I would apperciate any site that you could find. I think I need to get a Gluten-free Casein-free cookbook and see what I can come up with.

thank you for your information good luck in finding out what you can and can't eat.

thanks again

Hi KayJay

I'm gluten and casein sensitive...yes, anything with milk products in it would probably not be good for you. It also depends on how sensitive you are to it. For instance, Lindt dark chocolate 'may contain traces of milk', but I still have it anyway. And the ingredient list doesn't always say specifically something that you know comes from milk (like some non-dairy creamers, that have sodium CASEINate in them, which is a milk derivative), so you have to watch out and if there's anything you're suspicious of, it would be best to look the company up and make sure it's casein-free.

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      I mean that I will be re-taking the celiac blood test again while I am currently on the gluten challenge right now, but not sure how many weeks more to keep going, to ensure a false negative does not happen. Thank you.

      Thank you for your help, I am currently in the middle of the gluten challenge. A bit over 6 weeks in. At 4 weeks I got the celiac blood tests and that is when they were negative. So to rule out the false negative, since I’m in the middle of the gluten challenge right now and will never do this again, I wanted to continue consuming gluten to the point to make sure the blood tests are not a false negative - which I did not receive a firm answer for how many weeks total.    My issue is, with these blood tests the doctors say “you are not celiac” and rule it out completely as a potential cause of my issues, when the symptoms scream of it. I want to rule out this 30 year mystery for my own health since I’m in the middle of it right now. Thank you!

      I am a male and had developed osteopenia by age 50 which is when I finally got dx with celiac disease. I am sure I had it for at least 13 years before that because it was then I developed idiopathic elevated liver enzymes. I now have a little scoliosis and pronounced kyphosis (upper spine curvature).  All of your symptoms scream of celiac disease, even if the testing you have had done does not. You may be an atypical celiac, meaning the disease is not manifesting itself in your gut but is attacking other body systems. There is such a thing as sero negative celiac disease. But you still have not given me a satisfactory answer to my question of why do you need a differential dx between celiac disease and NCGS when either one would call for complete abstinence from gluten, which you have already been practicing except for short periods when you were undergoing a gluten challenge. Why do you want to put a toxic substance into your body for weeks when, even if it did produce a positive test result for celiac disease, neither you or your doctors would do anything different? Regardless of what doctors are recommending to you, it is your body it is affecting not theirs and they don't seem to have given you any good justification for starting another gluten challenge. Where you live, are doctors kings or something?

      Sorry to put it clearly, at 15, infertility started (tried to word it nicely) meaning menstruation stopped. Which is in correlation to celiac I mean. Thank you.

      Thank you for the reply! Doctors over the years have tested me for everything under the sun and tests are normal, except the decreasing bone density, high FSH (in regards to infertility), lower iron, and all the other celiac symptoms I experience. When I was 15 the infertility started (my whole life growing up I always ate gluten, and always had severe stomach problems, I’m an adult now and I still remember the stomach pain as a child) and then from here, they couldn’t figure out why. At the same time I was having all these celiac symptoms but nobody ever put two and two together.   Eventually in adulthood I went off gluten and dairy and felt better. Later in life, the topic was brought up by doctors, but they could never actually test for celiac because I was off gluten for years.   Just recently multiple doctors brought it up again, and said I should rule it out. So the ruling out of celiac, which is direct correlation with these symptoms, infertility at a younge age, on the edge and getting into osteopenia, etc. etc. is the concern. I was off of dairy for the same time as gluten because it made me sick. I did not surely have adequate calcium/D intake as well over these years.   The matter of concern is to once and for all get celiac ruled out for my own health, a gastro doctor recommended I get it done and other doctors to confirm yes or no to officially rule it out.  For these 6 weeks I have not been eating enough gluten then it seems, if 2-3 slices of bread a day is not really enough. I should increase my intake of gluten then and extend the test time?   Thank you very much for your help!! The test for Immunoglobulin IgA being a value of —> “1.25” shows it is in the normal range of 0.54-4.17 g/L on the test.
