Goat cheese issues?

Hello everyone. I hope I posted this in the right place. Anyways, I have recently started trying goat products for the first time mainly due to hearing how much better it is for you than cows milk. I do have issues with regular dairy in consistent amounts which I know is common and I have been meaning to try cutting it out completely but it's in so many good things so I essentially just suffer through the same way I dealt with my undiagnosed celiac for 10 years and then hate myself lol. So I tried goats milk and it was disgusting and I didn't have more than the one sip, then last night my boyfriend bought a bunch of fancy goat cheeses and I ate about half of the small pack of one that I didn't like very much since it had the same taste as the milk (I felt bad cuz he's a foodie and was so excited for me to try goat cheese with him) and then the whole small pack of the one that was seasoned enough to not taste horrible. Within a few hours I got really sick with nausea but it passed, then all night I suffered from horrible constipation, nausea, and pain. Which I know constipation is common with cheese but it was the same type and pain as when my intestines are reacting to something else, I don't know about anyone else but I can tell the difference between flare/glutened and normal bowel issues. The pain wasn't bad enough to be an actual flare and I know it wasn't caused by actual gluten but it was definitely one of those sensitivity things that upsets and confuses my intestines still, my only question is why? Has anybody else with celiac experienced issues with goat cheese? If anything all I've seen is how people substitute goat dairy for real dairy and it helps them. I've looked around the internet and can't find a single sign of someone having an adverse reaction to goat cheese, so I had hoped that since it affected me in the way sensitivity issues do maybe a fellow celiac would know something. Thank you!

I react to goat the same as dairy from cow, gas, bloating, constipation, some times nausea and vomiting. There are many dairy free options. I will post links to them and some recipes for dairy free cheese sauce and my dairy free cheesy bread this evening.

Dairy is dairy.  Goats milk has lactose, too.  so if lactose intolerance is your issue, it won't make much difference

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Milarynn,  Welcome to the forum!   Many undiagnosed, untreated Celiac Disease patients have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Be sure to have your Vitamin D level checked.  Vitamin D helps prevent bone loss, including loss from the jaw and teeth.   Magnesium and calcium are both important to bone health as well.  Magnesium helps keep the calcium from leaving your bones.  Magnesium helps make life sustaining enzymes with Thiamine Vitamin B1.  Low Magnesium and/or low Thiamine results in muscle cramping.   Thiamine deficiency is found in Pre-diabetes and Diabetes.  Poor absorption of the eight water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C are found in Celiac Disease.  Insufficient Vitamin C can cause poor oral health, resulting in poor gum health such as receding and bleeding gums.  Vitamin C is needed to fight bacteria that cause plaque which causes cavities.  Vitamin C helps rebuild tooth enamel.   I've had jaw muscle cramping, TMJ problems, tooth loss and gum problems.  Do talk to your dentist about having Celiac Disease.  Practice good oral hygiene.  I'm also Diabetic and take Benfotiamine (a form of Thiamine) that helps regulate blood glucose and heal the intestines. Do keep us posted on your test results and your progress!

      Milaryrnn, your post is confusing. First, your celiac disease antibody testing is negative. By any chance had you already been on a gluten free diet before the blood draw for these tests was done? That would result in negative antibody testing even if you had celiac disease. Or, had you previously been diagnosed with celiac disease and had the antibody testing done to check for compliance with the gluten free diet? Second, DNA testing cannot be used to confirm celiac disease. 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develops active celiac disease. It takes both the genetic potential and some triggering biological stress event in order to develop active celiac disease. Otherwise, the genes remain inactive. High lipase levels would indicate some problem with your pancreas.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By More2Learn · Posted

      Thanks, yes, I've gone back and forth.  There is a lot of autoimmune disease in my family, so primarily I was thinking a real diagnosis might be helpful for other family members -- especially as I have two young biological nephews.  I feel like I am at a crossroads, where if I'm going to test now would be the time, since I've been in a less-than-perfect eating period.  I'm either going to just going to use what I've learned in these last few months to purposely never cheat again (obviously there is the accidental glutening situations) or test first, and then do that.  I don't need an official diagnosis so much that if I'm doing well I'm going to sabotage that by then starting to eat gluten again. I'm so glad you said this.  Even from what I've read so far, it makes sense to me that this is a misconception.  But growing up with all kinds of allergies, I can see how, as for the general population it's just easier for everyone to simplify it down to a type of "allergy," people would assume this.  It's just how most people look at allergies and diets and gluten avoidance has been painted as both.  I even see it in my journey to date, when I say I want a gluten free selection at a restaurant and I am asked "is it an allergy?" and it is so much easier just to say yes (even if the answer is actually well, no, it's autoimmune).  Because the "yes" answer is the "this is serious" answer.

      Hello. I recently had an endo/colonoscopy and my GI Dr found lymphocytes in my stomach and small intestine. My TTG Ab, IgA was <2 (normal), GLIADIN (DEAMINATED) IGA at 5 (negative), and IgA at 237 (normal). However, a Lipase test revealed my levels were through the roof at 201, 3x above normal. My GI doctor ordered a dna test to confirm Celiac Disease. An A1C test was also done and I am pre-diabetic. When I got home from work today, I started to feel sever cramping in my jaw muscles. I started to have jaw muscle cramps in the the last year. Not to mention, even with good oral hygiene, I have rapidly developed periodontal disease. I did have a small amount of gluten, thinking it wouldn’t harm much but I was sadly mistaken. DNA results should be back in 2 weeks.
