Just Diag'd, Question About Dairy

I don't think I have a problem with dairy, but I'm not sure. Aside from elminating it from my diet are there any tests anyone has taken. I have yet to search the forums more thouroughly, but is there a comprehensive list of products that seem to be gluten free but aren't? One that I don't have to pay for, ie the application in the store on this site. I'm finding it difficult to figure out what ingredients are ok and what aren't. I don't have the money to go fully organic, so I'm still going to have to get a lot of stuff from a regular grocery store which means knowing ingredients. Even a book that someone recommends would help.

I found out I have celiacs last friday so I'm a complete n00b at all this.

Oh, and the most important and probably widely asked question, is there beer that I can drink? ;)

Enterolab tests for casein intolerance -- I imagine there are a number of other labs that do as well. Casein intolerance would indicate that you should eliminate dairy for good. I tested negative, but have found that, since about a month into the diet, I'm incredibly sensitive to dairy as well -- which seems to be the same lactose intolerance that may or may not go away as I heal. I was using Lactaid for a while while I ate dairy, but it began to feel like spinning a roulette wheel because I couldn't seem to control whether I was taking enough or not to digest the lactose, so I've cut dairy out completely for the time being.

I love dairy ... if I have to give up dairy I think I'll just keep eating what I want and deal with the pain and the small life expectancy ;)

I'm right with you on that one -- I love nothing more than cheese, but, for me, the symptoms aren't worth it right now.

man, just thinking about it makes me want some lol ... I love odwala juice and the green stuff I get has wheat in it, so that's out too. But past forgotten foods, does anyone know of a list of stuff we can and cannot eat?

      I haven’t been diagnosed formally. My doctor always called it eczema but over the years I have figured out it isn’t.  I’ll do some research on iodine. Thanks for that info.

      I would not think abstaining from commercially processed food would have any effect on dermatitis herpetiformis. What can help with dermatitis herpetiformis is reducing iodine in your diet and, of course, you must completely abstain from gluten.  Many who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis cannot find relief until they get on a med called Dapsone. It seems to be pretty effective but stresses the liver. So, anyone taking it must have their liver enzymes monitored regularly. By the way, celiac disease is the only know cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. Has your rash been officially diagnosed as dermatitis herpetiformis? It can be a challenge to find a dermatologist who knows how to properly biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis when seeking a diagnosis.

      I was eating gluten at the time it was done. I do not eat commercially processed food and we make it all from scratch so I wonder if that might cause an issue.

      When you had the blood draw done for the antibody testing, had you already been practicing a gluten free diet? If so, that would also sabotage the results of the tTG-IGA.

      The rash on my hands is the little blisters or  dermatitisherpetiformi you are referencing. They itch like crazy and no doctor has ever been able to get them to go away. When I remove gluten from my diet they go away. I decided to do the test for that reason. It’s really my only symptom but my sister has celiac disease and the same hand rash. her doctor recommended I get tested.
