Casein Intolerance - Has It Ever Improved For You?

Have been gluten and dairy free for a year or so, tried lactose free but the GI symptoms were just the same.

Having been unable to find anything online about this I thought I'd ask here if anyone who was once casein intolerant in the past is now able to eat it, and how long did this take?

I can leave the gluten behind, but I'd love to think that I'd be able to enjoy cheese again in the future.

Hi horticulturist,

I was able to tolerate casein about 18 months after eliminating it. (I may have been able to reintroduce it earlier, but I was reluctant because of the side effects.)

Once I wasn't having problems with it, I went a little overboard.

Had so many cheeses, ice cream, milk, half-n-half, all of that, risotto.

This week I'm having a rough time. It could maybe be the chick pea flour I used in flat bread (with some cheese). So for right now they're both on hold... to be tried again after I give my system some time to repair.

I started intolerant to cows milk. Sheep and goat were OK but I would react to even the small amounts of cow casein in butter or non-dairy creamer. It took about a year until I could eat cow casein again. I discovered it by accident, when I ate something cooked in butter by mistake.

I did my first casein challenge a couple weeks ago after being 15 months gluten-free/DF/SF. It was only about 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese on gluten free pizza. Prior to going gluten-free/DF/SF, that amount of casein would make the room spin within minutes and I'd be brain foggy for days. And while I can't say I wasn't without reaction - about 10 minutes after eating I felt just a bit "weird" in the head, and had a minor tummy pinching in the hours afterward - I'm still encouraged. I didn't have any other intestinal trouble as a result, although I've never really reacted that way in the past.

I plan to wait a few more months and try again.

My daughter and I have been gluten and dairy free for >6 months. Previously, any amount of either would throw us for a loop.

Last night, we tried a gluten free pizza with mozzarela from Mellow Mushroom. I read the dairy issue may lessen when your GI heals from the gluten damage.

The pizza caused no problems for either of us. Maybe, we can have some from time to time.

This is great news for us!

Anyone have similar experiences?

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

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      Abscesses on legs

      By LookingForAnswers101 · Posted

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
