Reaction To Dairy

Wondering If those of you who react to dairy have simlar symptoms as you have to gluten or if the reaction is different.

I'm on a gluten and dairy free trial trying to solve some issues I've had - mainly reflux and bloating and also thyroiditis (likely hashimotos). I'm having a hard time sorting through reactions and what causes what.

Thanks

I'm still sorting through what's what, too... but here's how those two things affect me. Lactose intolerance and gluten intolerance BOTH make me feel the same ... bloating, gas, diarrhea, cramping... all that fun stuff. The difference for me is gluten seems to make me feel really tired, brain fog, sometimes joint pain if I really had a lot. Lactose intolerance doesn't do that to me... it just makes my tummy hurt and digestive issues. Hope this helps. :)

Yes I have like symptoms when I have dairy. Is a matter of fact I thought that it was lactose intolerance I had when my Celiac became full blown. Four months later I am able to eat hard cheeses by taking Lactaid.

my general malaise and crampiness & painful gas is somewhat similar... but wheat & gluten cause more pain... and more bloating

too much milk usually gives me "D".. and gluten would always give me "C" OR a combination. years ago, when i was regularly eating gluten- i had those classic discolored and fatty, malabsorption BMs.

also- like said above- the gluten also gives me more neurological and mental issues.. more brain fog.. more grogginess..

gluten also made me itchy. and towards the end- it would also give me tachycardia & nausea.

this past week, ive had a little more cramping.. and gas.. and some of the old DH on my forearm is itching.. plus ive been oversleeping- so im crazy paranoid now- trying to figure out where the gluten snuck in???? (this does not happen with dairy).

ps- are you getting routine thyroid panels??? you need to make sure you stay on top of that so you dont suffer needlessly

I have digestive symptoms from dairy also. I used to not be able to sleep if I ate any dairy, it kept me mentally wired all night. I don't eat it tho.

You can try an elimination diet to learn what foods are problems for you. There are tons of threads on them.

      I’m so confused…

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.

      Testing

      By trents · Posted

      Have you considered the possibility that you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease? They share many of the same symptoms, the difference being that NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. In view of your genetic profile, I would give it consideration.
