Casein Intolerance

I found out from my mom that I was unable to tolerate cow's milk as an infant, so she gave me goat's milk for the first few years. She thought (on doctors' input) that it was just an infancy problem and would go away as I got older. After doing some research, it seems that being able to tolerate goat milk but not cow milk is a casein issue because there is more casein in cow's milk or something like that.

I'm just wondering if infant intolerance to cow milk/casein actually "goes away" as you get older or if the symptoms just grow more subtle and insidious.

I think it's different for everyone. Intolerances can come and go and the symptoms you get can shift over time. Have you tried going casein-free?

I just started on a gluten-free casein-free diet a few days ago, so it's too early to say anything. I was just wondering how likely it is that I'm not intolerant to casein. (I love dairy products ...)

Are you also lactose intolerant or is it possible that it's lactose and not casein? A lot of us have a problem with lactose when we are first diagnosed and are then able to add them back later. I hear you when you say you love dairy products! Giving them up was far more difficult for me than giving up gluten.

It could be. That's what I thought at first when I seemed to be having a bad response to dairy, but then I remembered the cow milk allergy.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      Okay thanks Scott. So based on my results will they order more tests to be done? Kind of confused.

      Yes, this sounds right. Let us know when you find out your results.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      Hi thanks for your response! This is the only other info that’s on my test results for the IgA. The initial testing performed in the Celiac Disease Reflex Panel is the total IgA. If the total IgA is <10 mg/dL, the reflex tests that will be ordered are the Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody and the Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG Antibody. If the total IgA is >=10 mg/dL, the reflex test that will be ordered is the Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody. Does that give some insight?  following up with my Dr early next week… thanks again.  And I didn’t eat more gluten than usual during the last 6-8 weeks on purpose. Just a normal diet prior to testing. I had gluten everyday for 6-8 weeks though I’m sure.

      Have you tried sheep's milk and goat's milk cheeses? After my diagnosis I could not tolerate cow's milk for ~2 years until my villi healed, but for some reason I did not have issues with sheep milk or goat milk cheeses.  I also had temporary issues with chicken eggs, but could eat duck eggs.

      This is not a test for celiac disease, but your total IgA levels. This test is usually done with other celiac disease blood tests to make sure the results are accurate. Did they do a tTg-IgA test as well? Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood tests? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
