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.

      Muscle Twitching

      Hello, I'd have been here sooner, but I got tangled up in yarn... Restless leg syndrome (RLS) I've had. It's often associated with iron deficiency and B12 deficiency, but can also show up with any deficiencies in Vitamin C, copper, Vitamin D, and Thiamine, Pyridoxine, and magnesium.  B12, Thiamine, and Pyridoxine will also help with peripheral neuropathy, that burning sensation.   (See... https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9804944/ ) Long Covid can be the result of nutritional deficiencies, as well.  Zinc, Selenium, Vitamin D, B12, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Pyridoxine, Niacin, and Choline.  (See... https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10015545/  and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36587225/ ) I agree with @Wheatwacked to get Vitamin D level higher, 80 ng/ml.  Taking high doses of Vitamin D to correct a deficiency has been found to be beneficial.  I took Vitamin D3 supplements throughout the day when I had a severe deficiency.  It got my level up quickly and I started feeling much better.   (See... https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28167237/ , https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4824637/) Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin.  Fats can be difficult to digest and absorb, so most of the newly diagnosed can be low in the four fat soluble vitamins (A,D,E,K).  A deficiency in Vitamin A can cause dry eyes.  Omega Threes and Evening Primrose Oil help with dry eyes, too.  (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10363387/) Blood tests are not accurate measurements of vitamin levels.  Blood tests will reflect any supplements being taken.  Blood tests do not measure how much of a vitamin is stored inside cells.  Supplementing with all eight essential B vitamins for several months will boost your ability to absorb the needed nutrients. A deficiency in Cobalamine, B12, can be aggravated by anesthesia.  Cobalt in Cobalamine binds irrevocably, irreversibly with the Nitrogen in anesthesia, rendering B12 useless.  Supplementing with B12 after exposure to anesthesia is beneficial.  (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8250714/) Pyridoxine B6 and Riboflavin B2 as well as B12 are needed to lower histamine levels (produced during the inflammation process that occurs in Celiac Disease). This can help relieve the sinus pressure.  Riboflavin B2 and Thiamine B1 are helpful with headaches.   We need more Thiamine when we are emotionally stressed, physically ill, and physically active.  Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine, has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  Thiamine is helpful in relieving anxiety.   (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/  , https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8451766/ ) Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals.  It is rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  Malabsorption in celiac disease affects all the nutrients we need.  Some vitamins just run out sooner than others because they can't be stored or we have a metabolic need for more.  (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10106602/ ) Hope this helps!

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Allergy Meds

      By John.B · Posted

      Hello, Target recently changed their branding on the Up & Up Loratadine and no long have it labeled gluten free. I've not been able to find any meds labeled gluten free for allergies. Some lists showed them but the the packaging isn't labeled.  Wondering if anyone knows of or has a list that would be safe for Celiac kiddos.
