Milk

A little while ago I posted because after being gluten-free for a year I was beginning to feel lousy again. Someone asked if it could be milk and I promptly answer no... Never had a problem with it. But it remained in my ears. After not finding answers I eliminated milk and major dairy stuff (ice cream) and stomach issues went away. I eliminated it for a week. The next week I had dairy and stomach issues came back. I have alway been a big milk drinker. What does this mean - have I developed a lactose intolerance. Or could this be temporary? I'll go off it if it keeps me out if the bathroom:) But I do love my milk!!

It could be lactose but it could also be casien, the milk protein. You could ask your doctor for a lactose test or you could try lactose free milk and see if that is better tolerated. If it is lactose intolerance you likely could still eat cheddar or other hard cheeses as those are very low in lactose. Whether this is temporary or not I can't answer. Maybe in a month or two you could try again and see if you are tolerating dairy a bit better.

I had a low positive with Enterolab for casein intolerance and avoided dairy for quite a while but was able to add dairy back in after I had healed more.

Broken record here but I didn't tolerate milk well until I switched to raw dairy. Maybe not a chance many would be willing to take but I have a good farmer whom I trust. He takes good care of his cows.

Is it typical to develop other intolerances after being gluten-free for a while?

I don't know if we develop them or if they were there all along but gluten issues overshadowed them. Unfortunately there are many of us who do have other intolerances. Some are lucky and do have them resolve after we have fully healed.

Same problem here. Been gluten free since april of this year was feeling great. about a month or so ago started feeling bad again all same symptoms back. Got rid of dairy completely for a week or more felt way better! Then went and ate lasagna that I made and know was gluten free and ate it thinking just some cheese no biggie yeah paid dearly for 5 days. Won't do that again. I love milk would drink 2 or 3 glasses a day. Oh how i miss you milk :(

I eliminated cheese when I first went gluten-free, too...and oh, how I craved it. Much worse than eliminating anything with gluten. After about 9 months I started eating hard cheeses like cheddar and parmesan and eventually branched out to include mozzarella so yaaay! Now I can eat pizza again. I've been buying Lactaid milk although I don't use much as I rarely have cereal for breakfast.

So whether I was lactose intolerant before diagnosis, I don't know. Possibly the symptoms were masked by my digestive problems with celiac . But I'm happy that I can tolerate cheese again...just haven't had the courage to make a grilled cheese sandwich with gooey Kraft American singles. I can live with that.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By trents · Posted

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.

      I just found out a few days ago that some salt like table salt contains dextrose that’s derived from corn. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of using table salt and just using my own kosher or Himalayan salt, but tbh I’m reluctant to do it. I’ve cut out a lot of things and I don’t really want to cut out anything else that I’m not sure will effect me…in a super small amount that it might be added to salts to stabilize the iodine. I don’t want to be further alienated when I have to go to a restaurant with my friends. Also most of the items at my house that have salt in it canned food etc. are some of the few quick things I can eat- because I’m not the one paying for the food in my household and i can only ask for so much. I’m not in a place financially where I can get a lot of my specialized items- although my family tries their best to get items I Can actually stand. I get I can bring a my own salt with me at a restaurant and ask for no seasoning but it feels like a lot to me- cause I already check for cross contamination and ask if the food has like a high volume of corn in it like cornstarch etc. I’ve also heard most dextrose is not derived from the Zein (corn gluten) portion of it- so it might be safe- but idk if that’s true. I just wanna know if anyone actually responded to it negatively.

      I’m so confused…

      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!

      Testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
