I have been diagnosed for 5 years through a biopsy for Gluten. I have followed a strict Gluten Free diet. I am still getting bloating and wondered if I have to stop not only Lactaid free Milk but all cheeses and dairy? My question is, if I do has anyone found a way to get calcium without the stomach discomfort? Also does anyone take probiotic pills since I do not tolerant yogurt without bloating and discomfort.

Thanks for any help.

I'm dairy free and my doc asked me to start taking calcium + Vit D supplements in addition to a daily multivitamin. You can also get calcium from various non-dairy food sources, green veggies, some fruits, fortified juices or non-dairy milks, etc.

Check out godairyfree.org for tons of great dairy free info, including this article about calcium:

I started taking probiotics but stopped them when I didn't see a significant difference.

I have not had milk or cheeses of any kind in a couple years. You can get adequate intake of calcium from fruit, vegetables, and nuts. Eat 2 oranges a day, some greens and some almonds. And make sure you get vitamin D somehow. If you are dairy intolerant then yeah-- you should not have dairy of any kind including cheese. Probably once you cut that out you'll find you dont need the probiotic pills. Do those even work? Fairly sure that is just a madison avenue invention.

I too bloat from dairy, even lactose free. I take acidophillus between meals all the time(I am new to Celiac). I had A gluten free pizza the other night and took acidophilus first and had no reaction or bloating. I am tempted again to induldge!! I'm getting sick of soy/rice cheese on stuff. i can tolerate it on sandwitches, but don't mess with my pizza! I do drink Coconut milk(OSO Brand) and Almond milk. both seem to settle well and have calcium added.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By trents · Posted

      ABP2025, there are no definitive diagnostic tests for NCGS. It is arrived at by first ruling out celiac disease despite continuing symptoms from gluten ingestion.

      So keep eating gluten daily, lots of it, until all celiac disease screening is completed. A negative biopsy would not rule out NCGS. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Barilla Gluten Free Pasta makes me sick

      By susan connolly · Posted

      Hi  I just had the same problem with Maninis Am gluten-free so I am very careful. It was delicious but big tummy ache and swelling.  I was soooo careful.  Nothing different but the tortellini.  Maybe cross contamination of some kind ?.  Best  Susan

      What should I do with these test results?

      By trents · Posted

      Sounds like a good plan, Jack. Correct about the genes. About 40% of the general population possess the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. So, genetic testing is used as a rule out measure.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By Jack Common · Posted

      I haven't seen any information there are other genes which trents wrote but what if I spend money to do this test and the results show I have these genes. It will mean nothing. I can have these genes and not have celiac disease if I know it right. Because biopsy is not available, unfortunately, the most reliable methods are blood tests, in my opinion. So I'm gonna eat gluten for another two months and then do the test again. It will be 12 weeks eating food with gluten so some symptoms might appear. Now, I don't have any except fogginess but I'm a software developer so it could be normal for me. Talking about how much food containing gluten to eat, I'm eating 6 slices of wheat bread per day (each slice weighs around 35 grams). I think it's much more than other people eat doing a gluten challenge. Before a gluten free diet I had symptoms like some food intolerance, diarrhea, bloating, belching. However, I also had giardiasis and after treating it I started a gluten free diet so it's unclear whether I had this symptoms because of eliminating gluten or this parasite. The symptoms for both are very similar. So I think it was this parasite because two years ago and before I didn't have these symptoms and I always ate gluten freely. Am I thinking okay or should I consider/do something else? I appreciate any suggestions.
