Help! Newly Gluten And Dairy Free...

So I just found out that I have celiac about two months ago, and I'm getting my lactose test on Jan 6. but it's quite clear that I can't eat dairy either without getting sick.

I'm 20 years old, 5'2'' and about 105lbs. Dairy is a staple part of my diet, especially since I found out I can't have gluten. I want to start feeling better and cut the dairy from my diet, but I can't afford to lose weight in the process.

Any good food/product ideas (that taste good)? Thank you!

Focus on high-quality calories... eggs, coconut milk (coconut oil is great for cooking), olive oil, nuts, seeds, nut butters, avocado, etc... Even if you can tolerate non-gluten grains (like corn, rice, millet, soy), they don't have as many nutrients and your body has to work pretty hard to digest them.

ps - Last night I made a pretty convincing substitute for a milk shake :P

- One can of coconut milk (full fat)

- 2-3 cups of frozen fruit (I used strawberries and peaches)

- A little almond milk to thin it out

- A little pure maple syrup to sweeten

Give at all a good run through the blender... if you use frozen fruit you don't even need to add ice cubes.

I was really missing ice cream before I figured this out!

Peanut Butter is a great high calorie food. There are also some AWESOME Coconut milk and soy ice creams out there. Kinnikinnick makes excellent gluten free/casein (dairy) free breads, bagels, muffins, cookies, pizza crusts, etc.... For cream cheese and sour cream, I recommend Tofutti brand substitutes. Soy yogurt is good with a Nana's cookie bar crumbled in it. Lara bars are raw, gluten free, dairy free, soy free, etc... Loaded nachos (with dairy free sour cream and cheese) offer some serious calories. Good luck! I am in the same boat. I am 5'3" and 107 lbs. so I completely understand.

My sister is like that too. In college she spent a semester in Ireland. Someone told her that the Irish think peanut butter is weird... so she packed several jars in her suitcase :lol:

You know... in Southeast Asia and West Africa, people do a lot of interesting things with peanuts. Peanut butter makes a nice addition to soup or tomato sauce. Just add a few spoonfuls when the liquid is boiling. You have to add quite a bit before you really taste the peanuts :P

      Question on if i can contact my gastro doctor whenever?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @lsky! In Canada I believe your healthcare system is totally socialized so I doubt if you have the option of making direct appointments with specialists. In the U.S. it is becoming more and more that way as most people here now are covered by some government managed healthcare network and almost all providers and specialists are part of those networks. Here and there you will find independent providers that take private pay only but it is the exception. Both in Canada and in the U.S. I believe there is a concerted effort to always keep the PCP in the loop.

      By lsky · Posted

      I have had celiac disease since i was 7 and i've recently had worsening symptoms, I live in canada and the doctors right now are horrible so my general doctor never puts in my referrals or she does it wrong and i have to wait months-years for an answer. I was wondering I already have a Gastroenterologist, could i just contact him and ask to book an upcoming appointment? i'm not sure if it's different in canada or not.

      Symptoms after ingesting gluten

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum @Juliana82! Bleeding where? Thanks for the articles on seronegative celiac disease. As I recall, one of our moderators is seronegative and has been faithful to draw our attention to this phenomenon at different times. The heterozygous factor seronegative celiac disease is an important factoid I believe.

      Toddler Diagnosis?

      By Wrensmith · Posted

      With such a weak positive, his got may or may not be cleared in three months. My daughter when diagnosed at the age of seven had a TTG score of 388. It was 18 months on a gluten-free diet before her levels returned to normal. it seems to me that when you started something that allows your son to gain weight, as he clearly needs to do, you may want to keep doing it.  Sometimes you just need to figure out the science of it as you go along. Have you been tested?  That’s how I found out I had celiac disease, was after my daughter was diagnosed, and the recommendation given to me was that all of her first-degree relations should be tested as well. I came back with a weak positive when I was on a largely, though not entirely, gluten-free diet (cooking for my newly diagnosed child). good luck with everything.

      Does anyone have bleeding after eating gluten? You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not very common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/
