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.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      Abscesses on legs

      By LookingForAnswers101 · Posted

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
