maltodextrin and dairy

Hello,

I was recently diagnosed in January with celiac disease. No I am on somewhat frustrating journey to go gluten free.  Through this process I have found that I have a sensitivity to maltodextrin, and I was wondering if anyone else has had this? Also, I am considering eliminating lactose/dairy after doing some research that it can irritating to the gut due to inability to digest it.  I have never gotten GI upset from dairy, so am not sure I should do this.  Just looking for advice about this as well. Thank you for reading my post!

Maltodextrin is gluten free even if derived from wheat. 
Lactose intolerance is common with celiac disease but you only need to eliminate it if it’s causing you digestive upset. You may find this helpful.

Welcome to the forum @Xsmama! 

It is pretty common at the time of diagnosis for you to have additional food intolerance issues, and milk/casein is a very common one. I had about 5 other food intolerances when I found out I had celiac disease, but the good news is that most or all may go away after sufficient time on a gluten-free diet. Once your gut heals you may find that you can tolerate those things again, and for me it took 2-3 years before I added them back (not gluten, of course).

I'm 8 years strict gluten free.  All natural and artificial sweeteners, dairy, chocolate, grains make my stomach hurt, sinuses clog, sleepless, leg twitch.  Cross reaction is big for me.  I was 60 at diagnosis with decades of symptoms, and I think my poor body developed all sorts of damage and sensitivity. I've learned to enjoy other treats like roasted rutabaga, and I've lost my sweet tooth.  I only eat my own food, bring it to restaurants and potlucks.  Pity I'm not a better cook!  Keeps me slim...

@scott adams Hi Scott. Please can I ask which foods you had to eliminate and later on managed to reintroduce? Many thanks.

      Not Just Wheat, Barley and Rye Glutens that make us sick

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      corn: It is the second most commonly genetically modified food on the planet (soy is #1) Genetic modification of foods continues to kill animals in scientific studies. It is an incomplete protein. It is difficult for humans to digest (ever see corn in your stool?) It is high in calories and low in nutrient value It is a new food to the human genome. It is being used as a staple food for our cattle, fish, chicken, and cars. Cows and fish are not designed to eat grain. (Have you ever seen a fish jump out of a lake into a corn field for supper?) When animals eat corn as a staple they have shorter life spans. Corn fed beef is linked to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and obesity. Grass fed beef is not. Fructose derived from corn is toxic to the liver and contributes to severe health issues. Corn syrup has mercury in it. The list can go on and on and on… Many consumers bow to the alter of “Gluten Free” packaged foods as if the label is a safety net. “Gluten Free” on the package does not mean that the food is healthy. Do not deny yourself the God given right to be healthy.

      Corn Gluten vs. Wheat Gluten: Corn gluten (zein) is different from wheat gluten (gliadin), but both are types of gluten.  Inflammatory Response: Some celiac patients have shown an inflammatory response after consuming corn.  Cross-Reactivity: Corn can mimic gluten in sensitive individuals, potentially triggering immune responses similar to those caused by gluten.  Individual Sensitivity: Many individuals with celiac disease or gluten intolerance find that they can't tolerate corn gluten, even though they avoid wheat, barley, and rye.  Nonresponsive Celiac: Some individuals with celiac disease don't respond well to a gluten-free diet, and this may be due to gluten contamination or other factors, including reactions to corn gluten.  Corn Derivatives: Even processed corn products like high-fructose corn syrup or corn oil may cause issues in sensitive individuals.

      Home-made kefir

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free journey! It’s great that you’re exploring ferments like kefir—they can be a wonderful support for gut health, especially when navigating celiac or gluten sensitivity. Kefir is rich in probiotics, and many people find it soothing during gut healing. It’s great that you’re already thinking about making sauerkraut and kimchi too—those are fantastic next steps! And that’s incredibly generous of you to offer kefir grains; I’m sure there are folks in NYC who would love to start their own batch. Keep sharing and exploring—you’re off to a great start!

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?
