Xantham, Yeast, And Reactions?

My throat swells when I drink the Lactaid milk and when I chew the Lactaid tablets. I tried the Dairy-Ease milk but same problem. I found out that the commercial lactase is made using yeast and/or mold. Xantham gum is made from mold or cultured on corn as a mold. my stomach swells when I eat anything with xantham. Does this mean I have a yeast intolerance as well to go with my lactose intolerance and wheat/gluten intolerance? Is this why I just can't lose weight even when I have a clean diet and take my thryroid pills faithfully? My expensive digestive enzymes made my throat swell as well and they contain enzymes made using mold too. I am sitting here feeling that there is something stuck in my throat and I just drank a glass of Dairy-Ease. Any thoughts besides to stop drinking the darn stuff and switch back to soy even though soy is bad for my poor thyroid?

The only thing I can comment on is thyroid. I took meds for years and finally discovered that iodine can interfere with the uptake. Maybe you are gaining weight because you are not getting it into your system. My thyroid tests were all over the board before I quit the iodine. Even though I took it as prescribed, sometimes the tests were high and sometimes low.

I don't drink milk substitutes because of the iodine content.

I think my throat does the same thing. It always feels swollen and clogged. Hard to swallow pills sometimes, brushing my teeth and I choke easily etc... sometimes can taste things from my throat. You get the picture. =p

Anyways, I was thinking maybe it was from the dairy. And I'm kinda a newb at this... but is yeast found in all dairy? I'll go google it later I suppose... and what about Xantham? what is that stuff? :P

has anyone had their throats clear up from eliminating dairy from their diet? also, doesn't dairy cause sinusitis? and why do humans even eat dairy... I mean it never made sense to me, it's milk from another species for crying out loud.

and yeah, I have sinusitis as well. but the doctor said it was minor. would eliminating dairy from my diet be worth a try? I was planning on it anyways.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Thank you so much Trents (Scott?)! I have started working with a dietitian and did a deep research dive as soon as I got the diagnosis. I am aware of what you mentioned in the first two paragraphs, and was not aware of anything in the third, so I am grateful for that information, and will talk to the dietitian about that. I think I was most interested in the withdrawal process - it gives me hope that, although I have felt unwell recently, I just need to be patient (not a strong suit). I have printed the article you sent and will look at it more closely. Thanks again!

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @K6315! Gluten withdrawal typically lasts for a period of a few weeks. But there is a real learning curve involved in actually attaining to a gluten free dietary state. Much more is involved than just cutting out major sources of gluten such as bread and pasta. It's all the places that gluten is hidden in the food supply that is difficult to ferret out, like soy sauce and canned tomato soup, canned chili and canned pork n' beans, some "lite" pancake syrups, potato salad, flavorings, etc., etc. Gluten-containing grain products are hidden through alternate terminology and found in places you would never expect.  There is also "cross contamination" where naturally gluten free foods come into contact with gluten-containing grains during farming, transportation, storage and manufacturing processes. Then there is the issue of "cross reactivity" whereby you may be having gluten-like reaction to food proteins whose structure is similar to gluten. Chief among these are dairy, oats (even gluten-free oats), soy, corn and eggs. I am including this article that you might find helpful:

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Prior to being diagnosed, I had a gluten heavy diet. I stopped all gluten exactly a week ago and have continued to feel sick in the ways I did prior to going gluten free - primarily on and off nausea, brain fog, and fatigue. Wondering if this is normal and, if so, how long can I expect to feel this way?
