Casein (dairy) protein

Hello

I have been gluten-free for 6 years now, recently I have been getting the same symptoms as I did before with gluten before going gluten-free, I have a strong suspicion it is connected to Casein (the protein found in dairy) and I’m about to go dairy free for a couple of months to try and determine if this is the case.

Is this the case for anyone else please? I know I cannot eat Oats as I do get the same reaction to them.

Many thanks

Kieran

While you might have developed a casein allergy,  your current symptoms might not even be related to celiac disease.  When was your last celiac disease follow-up visit with your doctor?   Have you had repeat celiac disease blood testing?  Another endoscopy?  

I thought I was getting gluten exposures.  Turns out mysmall intestine had healed (repeat endoscopy) but gastric biopsies revealed autoimmune gastritis.  Talk to your GI.  I learned not everything is due to celiac disease.

Celiacs are prone to get new food intolerance, sensitivities, or allergies among other issues. It is also not uncommon to get other AI diseases or certain issues.
We are not doctors but if you give some symptoms perhaps someone can give you some ideas you can consider and go from there with talking with your doctor, nutritionist or trying elimination diet with a food diary to see if food related.

Hi Kieran,

Yes, I avoid dairy because it causes me GI symptoms.  We can develop reactions to many different foods.  You can try going off dairy for a couple weeks and then test it again.  Some people can eat sheep or goat dairy but not cow dairy.  It takes some experimenting to see how your body reacts.

Yes! Actually I’ve quit anything made with cow’s milk for about 6 months and see great improvement. I’ve even tried gluten again, here and there and there’s hardly a reaction. So I would say in my case that the dairy is by far worse for me than gluten.  I still have cheese made from sheep or buffalo on salads, etc and everything with no reaction.  Good luck!

I use almond or coconut with minimal additives or homemade. After diagnosis I would get bad joint and muscle pain/ inflammation likely tied to my mast cells reacting if I had cow milk or cow milk based products.

My husband and son also have cow milk issues and they can do sheep or goat cheese.

Good luck I hope you find comfort soon

I am not celiac but have a wheat allergy only detected by oral challenge (not blood or scratch test). You do not mention why you are gluten free, but I had a similar decline in symptoms about 4 years ago and only just now found that corn is my worst allergy by far. For my initial years of gluten- free I was also not getting much corn. But then corn started creeping into more and more products labeled gluten-free. Anyhow, in case it is helpful for you in your journey, you might look into corn allergy. It’s far more complicated than just avoiding “corn” and in fact it’s very hard to find a wheat product that doesn’t contain corn...even if I could tolerate wheat. I suspect many medical test negative “gluten-sensitive” might actually benefit from taking a look as well. Along my journey there were times it seemed I was allergic to any food but watermelon. Now, if I can source it free of corn-contamination, I can eat it. But I can barely shop at grocery stores. Anyway, this is a celiac group not a corn-group so I’ll try not to go off topic too far. Your post hit close to home. Good luck.

My dairy intolerance was getting worse until I started eating fermented pickles and sauerkraut and olives instead of vinegar based. The science: salt fermenting promotes lactobacillus that supplements your body's production of lactase.

      Bloodwork still postive after 18 months

      By RMJ · Posted

      How frustrating! The Endomysium antibody result is usually given as a titer, 1:5, or 1:10, or 1:20.  This indicates how far the serum can be diluted and still give a positive result. It could be going down but the way they show the results you can’t tell. If you click on the “view trends” button on an electronic version of the results does it show any additional information?

      Catholic Mass for Celiacs

      By misslemon · Posted

      Hi, I'm hoping to get some advice on how to handle Mass as a new Catholic.  I'm looking to take the Mass for the first time in March.  I've been told that the church has a "low gluten" option that is 0.01% gluten.  Is this safe, especially to do every week?   I also read that taking the wine instead could be more of a problem if it gets contaminated with regular crumbs.   I found this information online:  "The Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in Clyde, Missouri, have developed a Communion host that is extremely low in gluten. The host is made from gelatinized wheat starch. The Sisters report the hosts test to a level of 0.01% gluten. At that level, the lowest that could be tested, no gluten was detected. This means that there is less than 0.01% gluten in one of these hosts. The Secretariat for the Liturgy of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has stated that these hosts meet the requirements of the Code of Canon Law (924 §2) and may be validly used at the celebration of the Eucharist with permission of the person's pastor. The Catholic with celiac disease can now fully participate in Holy Communion with the whole parish family. Catholic celiacs may choose to receive consecrated wine at a regular communion station if their parish offers communion under both species. There is greater risk for contamination using this option. The fraction rite may allow small, yet dangerous crumbs to be in the cup." Thank you for any guidance!

      Bloodwork still postive after 18 months

      By Jenn D · Posted

      My son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease is April 2023. His ttg antibody was over 100 at the time of diagnosis. Now it is at 3 (which is considered negative), but his endomysium antibody iga is still coming up positive. There is no specific number just positive or negative so I'm not sure if he's getting better or not. I'm getting nervous that something else is going on and I was just looking for some advice or an understanding what this "postive" actually means. He gets tested every 6 months. Thank you so much for any responses😊 Attached is a picture of his bloodwork from August 2024

      Popcorn pain

      By trents · Posted

      @JenFur, if this is microwave popcorn you are using, check for added ingredients that could be causing a reaction such as flavorings which might be hidden sources of gluten.

      Query

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @mark w! Did you hit the "Submit Reply" button before you finished typing your post? The thought seems incomplete and there is no punctuation to terminate it at the end of the sentence. Are you stating that you believe the odd episode of being "glutened" is responsible for your ongoing fatigue or are you asking the question of could it be due to that?
