Ugh ... This Time It Was Milk That Got Me

I haven't been around here for a while because I've been feeling SO much better after completely cutting out gluten. So yesterday I got overly optimistic. I've been eating yogurt with no problem (but no other dairy), and I thought I would try some goat milk (which is supposed to be easier to digest - maybe that's a myth) and see if I tolerated it. I did NOT. 36 hours later I still feel really really miserable, though at least the diarrhea has stopped. My glutening symptoms are more neurological although there is some GI stuff too. I just can't believe how much my stomach hurts right now.

Somebody tell me how to make it better. :(

Wow! I go to my Digestive Doc next week and besides the Celiac I gotta ask him about the Dairy too. I'm on 2nd day of stomach pain and diarrhea. This is horrible. I hope the best for you.

Thanks. I don't know if it's the casein or the lactose. I hope you figure out what's going on with you.

Hi! Have you ever tried coconut milk? I think it's really delicious, and it's opaque white so it really looks like milk. The taste is very mild, and doesn't taste like coconut at all. My favorite brand is "So Delicious" (original flavor). Makes great smoothies too. It probably works great in recipes too, but I haven't had a chance to try that yet.

I sometimes make smoothies with straight coconut milk with no additives. Doesn't "So Delicious" have additives in it?

It tastes great in desserts (especially with vanilla). It is also delicious in chowder. I reduced it on the stovetop and then add it last to simmer.

HI,

If you have a reaction to eating hard cheese like cheddar it is probably a casein issue. Most of the lactose is gone in hard cheeses. You can always take a couple lactaid pills when you eat the cheese just to be sure it is not lactose sugar. The lactaid digests the lactose, so if there was any trace of lactose left that would get rid of it. So you would be left with a chunk of casein to digest. You might need to do this test for 3 to 5 days in a row to see a solid reaction. This of course won't worlk if you are eating any other dairy during the time. Other dairy would muddy the waters and invalidate the test. Make sure the lactaid pills are gluten-free first though. It's an easy-peasy test really.

Any "additives" in "So Delicious" are vegetable or mineral based, natural and gluten free. They are all on the safe list on this site. I don't think there are any problems with it. Anyone have any other ideas about the different coconut milks? Do the additives make it no longer a whole food, and instead a processed food? Very curious about this. I'm interested in the digestibility of it for one thing. Bought some straight coconut milk in a can from Trader Joe's but haven't tried it yet. Hope it tastes as good.

Additive free coconut milk in a can does taste just as good as the ones with additives! I didn't even know Trader Joe's carried the canned type. It's even thicker and creamier too which makes it great used straight in recipes in place of cream, I imagine, or with water added for drinking. You learn something new every day!

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By Skg414228 · Posted

      Okay yeah that helps! To answer your last bit my understanding was that you need to have multiple tests to confirm celiac. Blood, biopsy, dna, and then I think symptoms is another one. Either way I think everything has to be confirmed with the biopsy because that is the gold standard for testing (Doctors words). You also answered another question I forgot to ask about which is does a high value push to a higher % on those scales. I truly appreciate your answers though and just like hearing what other people think. Digging into forums and google for similar stuff has been tough. So thank you again!

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      The tests outlined in the article I linked are rated according to "sensitivity" and "specificity". Sensitivity refers to how well the test does in not missing those who actually have the disease being tested for, in this case, celiac disease. The DGP-IGA test is estimated to have a sensitivity of 75% to 95%.  Specificity refers to how well the test does in not producing a positive score to medical conditions other than the one being tested for, in this case, celiac disease.  The DGP-IGA test is estimated to have a specificity of 90% to 100%. Obviously, in your case there is no issue with sensitivity. So, the only remaining question would be in relation to specificity. It is my observation from participating in this forum for many years and reading the posted test results from many, many forum contributors, that the likelihood of misdiagnosis due to a specificity issue diminishes greatly with high test score numbers. Still, there is a slight chance it could be due to something else. Think about it. If this were not so, why would your GI doc even be scheduling you for a biopsy?

      It is interesting you mentioned that it could be other things because I asked my gastro and she literally said it means nothing else. That that value was only considered for Celiac which is kind of why I asked here because I didn't understand how a celiac only value could be high and it wasn't celiac.

      I did read this article and all it helped me determine was that I am too dumb lol. Plus with DGP IGA 75-95 is a huge range. I was also confused on if it meant 75-95% of people with positive dgp iga have it or if it meant that of 100% of the people that have Celiac 75-95% this value will be positive.  Most of my symptoms are GI related but the other one that stands out is inflammation. It almost felt like I had body aches and I have soreness right now that I don't have when I am on the paleo diet full time (which is gluten free when you never cheat on it, which I was occasionally). My doctor suspected Raynauds but never did a blood test for it, and then I have had ADHD which I can't remember if it was directly related or not. I have a healthy mix of a lot of stuff going on so honestly it would be a relief if it was celiac because I could at least manage that. Im a pretty healthy person exercise daily high intensity and endurance and a pretty good diet but I haven't been able to lose weight in like 7 years.
