Can you give me your opinons about being dairy free initially? I read that I should go dairy free for at least a few weeks as well before I will see real results. I am only 2 days in and craving something sweet, but aside from fruit or peanut butter I feel like there are not many options. So far i have been eating fruits and veggies, plain meats, and peanut butter. Any other ideas???

Dairy is not required to eliminate, only if it seems bothersome to you.

In the beginning, I made the peanut butter cookies that have no flour (old recipe) and that helped my sweet tooth. Also full sized Snickers, not minis, are a good pick me up when you're short of time.

I like pudding made with soy milk and jello.

Chocolate Soy milk. Plain or Vanilla Soy milk in your old recipies. Soy ice cream with nuts. Even better is the new coconut ice cream. Nuts are a nice snack. Avacado is so creamy.

With adjusting to soy milk, it helped to put a sweetener in the plain. I didn't care for the Vanilla. I LOVED the Chocolate. It also helped mentally to think of it as nut juice rather than milk. I also needed to get Beano. You know what they say about beans. Soy milk comes from soybeans. Oh, if you can find it, they make soy nog this time of year. Mmmm. And Soy Latte.

Earth balance has a soy butter that is good. Mashed potatoes made with soy. Some people can handle a little cheese before they add back dairy fully. I'm allergic, so I'm off milk/eggs/gluten for life. Gluten is the hardest to navigate. Eggs are what I miss the most.

Since I can't have milk or eggs, I satisfy that creamy texture craving with beans. Refried beans are the easiest. Old El Paso are gluten-free, but I think they might have disguised MSG.

Hot Chocolate from scratch.

Most chocolate has milk, except for SOME types of dark chocolate, so peanut M&Ms are out if you want to avoid dairy.

I second the flourless PB cookies. Avoiding gluten-free baked replacements (that have alternative flours in them) early on in the process helps healing and makes the healing easier.

      Delayed reaction

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, it's not typical for gluten exposure to cause symptoms as delayed as a week or two after ingestion. In most cases, reactions to gluten occur within hours to a few days, depending on individual sensitivity and how much gluten was consumed. The delayed symptoms you describe—stomach cramping in the mornings and flaky stool—might suggest that something else is contributing to your discomfort. Cross-contamination is a common challenge, especially when dining out, and it's great that you're doing your best to stay gluten-free. However, the inconsistency of your symptoms and the long delay between exposure and reaction could warrant further investigation. It's possible that another gastrointestinal condition, such as IBS, a food intolerance, or a reaction to something else in your diet, might be contributing to your symptoms. You might consider keeping a detailed food and symptom diary to identify potential patterns or triggers. Additionally, consulting your gastroenterologist could provide clarity. They may suggest testing to rule out other issues, such as small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), microscopic colitis, or other sensitivities. If you suspect cross-contamination is a significant issue, you could also ask for follow-up bloodwork (e.g., tTG-IgA) to check if your antibodies are elevated, which might indicate ongoing gluten exposure.

      Enegy level extremely low

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      No cure so far, and a treatment might still be years away. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Can food allergies like milk and soy flatten villi?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure the article would be misleading, as it offers many different avenues to pursue for those with ongoing symptoms. The recommendation to keep a food diary and remove common food intolerance triggers would be a good way to discover issues with casein/milk, especially if you added that back to your diet after a couple of months and your symptoms returned. Many additional food intolerance issues can be permanent in some people.
