Reaction To Rice Milk

We're doing a dairy free trial for my son (almost 2 years old). Trying to find a rice milk was hard because I needed to avoid gluten/dairy/soy and also wanted to avoid brown rice syrup. So I decided to try the Pacific brand because it seemed to fit all those criteria. Once we switched him to that milk he began crying everyday when we dropped him off at daycare and just seemed a bit lazier/tired overall. We thought that the milk couldn't possibly cause that and figured it must be due to some molars that seem to be trying to pop through. But when we had the 6th day in a row of him crying and being clingly while dropping him off and seeming not quite himself over the weekend I decided it wouldn't hurt to switch his "milk" and put him on Almond Breeze...and this morning he was his happy self at daycare. Does anyone else react to Pacific rice milk? We're not totally sure what his intolerances are at this point- we're suspecting gluten, dairy, and/or soy. When I called the company they said it's not a gluten-free facility, but no gluten ingredients in the milk. Could a food intolerance really cause that reaction?

It can be hard to tell a food intolerance from a gluten reaction. The important thing is to remember what he reacts to, and not give it to him again. Keep track and as time goes by you will get more information and hopefully be able to figure it out.

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.

      I also want to mention that using prednisone would likely also make the endoscopy results invalid. This steroid will cause gut healing and could mask the damage caused by celiac disease.

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease,  and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and  dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with myopathy that has occurred.
