Im No Longer Lactose Intollerant!

after not being able to drink milk all my life i can now drink it again after being gluten free 5 weeks! in the past whenever i drank it (as a kid or adult) i got sick in the stomach and usually dioreah and this was the case after id been gluten free 2 weeks when i last tried it.

this time after 5 weeks gluten-free no problems at all! this is particularly useful as my bone desity was no where near what it should be for someone who is 28.

does this mean my intestines have repaired or am just on the way to repaired?

It seems that your intestines have repaired enough for you not to react to dairy any more.

Just be advised that it is a lie the dairy industry has perpetuated, that you actually get calcium from milk. It appears that rather than GIVING you calcium, it will leach it out of your body. It will weaken your bones, rather than strengthen them. We absolutely cannot absorb calcium from cows milk.

To get calcium your body can actually absorb, you need to be eating green leafy vegetables. And take a good calcium/magnesium/vitamin D supplement. And use dairy sparingly.

You are obviously healing, that is really excellent. You must be doing a good job with the gluten-free diet.

      Pretty desperate for some guidance

      Pua, do you understand that genetic testing cannot be used as proof of having celiac disease as it only establishes the potential to develop active celiac disease? About 40% of the population has the genetic potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. However, it can be used as a rule out measure.

      Mahalo for all of the answers this has been super helpful. He is doing so much better on a gluten free diet. I may consider genetic testing as I never thought of that as an option and I definitely don’t want to go the usual route and have to give him gluten again for the test. It’s nice to have an “official diagnosis” but as long as he’s healthy I don’t c...

      Does 101gl mean. I have celiac desease

      Welcome to the forum, @Marilyn1941! As Wheatwacked explained, we need more information. There are a number of blood antibody tests that can be run to detect celiac disease. Some are more meaningful than others in the sense of positive results being due to celiac disease or possibly due to something else. So, knowing exactly what test the score you gave...

      When my son was weaned in 1976 he was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. My mom said at the time. "you got what you gave." His doctor insisted on Nutramigen as the only hyperallergenic baby formula with full nutrition. After 6 months he was weaned to gluten free diet. It seems it still has that status. He has grown strong and well.

      Does 101gl mean. I have celiac desease

      Hi @Marilyn1941, Welcome to the forum. There is not enough info to go on. What test name? What are the results and the laboratory's normal range they used? Why were you tested? What kind of symptoms? Age, sex and country would be helpful but not necessary.

Some are more meaningful than others in the sense of positive results being due to celiac disease or possibly due to something else. So, knowing exactly what test the score you gave is referring to would be helpful. In addition, the ranges and units of measure used by different labs differs from one lab to another. There is no industry standard for these. So, we would need to know the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for that test used by the lab who did the analysis. And was there only that one test ordered by the physician?
