If you keep consuming dairy it won't affect your health but you'll have bad gas!

I was diagnosed with celiac disease 9 months ago, after suffering for 34 years with various unexplained health issues, but I was always lactose intolerant, and that problem has resolved since eliminating gluten! It's cool to realize why! Thanks

Good info to know. It helped me, because I'm still learning about this disease. It was good to know how long to stay away from dairy.

What a shock to think that I might have lactose intolerance now after being diagnosed 8 years ago with celiac and being so careful with the diet. Too much milk and cheese in my diet??? Shelly's rating (#5) is asking what I would like to know also. . . is there more detail available??? Is repair possible?

I was diagnosed with celiac in 1990 and have had dairy for all these years until this past month. I decided to give dairy up for one month to see if it made any difference in the bloating I have after eating breakfast every morning. Sad to say I didn't find any change.
However, for the pass 20 years since I've been diagnosed I feel very healthy and have been running in races for years, and yes! I'm a senior.

I have had a similar experience with dermatitis coming back after a period of years. For me the skin rash seems to be closely connected to my difficulty to digest fat. I have had success with liver flushes causing me to get rid of many gallstones. My information came from Dr. Hulda Clark who has written many books. I am recently also adding more digestive aids to help with fat digestion.

OMG I had shingles last summer - got Prednisone. Felt energy for the first time in a decade! Shingles gone, mouth sores gone, happy, eat gluten free healthy just fine. Then, NOT ONE DOCTOR WILL GIVE ME PREDNISONE AGAIN? I'm "60"...not the drugie type: just want to have my immune system calm. Considering going to Mexico to get PREDNISONE to feel alive again. Any advice? I am miserable and fatigued 24/7. help.

I know this reply is a bit late, as I have only just read it. Does your husband eat fresh gluten free bread? Most of the fresh stuff contains codex wheat starch, which some celiacs can't tolerate, it makes them ill.

Here I am 69 years old and diagnosed about a year ago. The terrible gastric distress (the runs, pain, vomiting) from dairy and gluten were mixed together until I learned that I could tolerate neither one, but perhaps dairy in the future. So I stopped both and really felt magically better. Sheep and goat no problem. I would try cow and at first, would run to the bathroom within a half hour! Now, no problem.

But I agree with Sue that my symptoms tend to return when I eat fried food or fats. I never had that problem before OR I feel so good now that I really notice the difference when I feel bad. By the way, to answer Victor, when I ended the gluten, within 2 days, I was pain free and nausea free! Like magic! Thoough I get a little symptomatic when I eat more fat than usual. Probably a lesson here... Fat not so good anyhow...

All comments are very helpful to me. Thanks so much.

Wow. I learned so much from this site. Me, Celiac + Lactose Intolerant + Insomnia + Vegetarian. OMG WHAT'S LEFT TO EAT?
Became "iron toxic" from eating ALL green. Afraid to eat anything. (no processed foods/canned foods/frozen foods). Any advice? Not one of 9 doctors asked me about diet! I must be my own doctor: most do not have a clue to the diet importance.

I am 19 and three years ago I was diagnosed celiac, I had severe eczema all over yet the dermatologists took a biopsy and said it was not dermatitis, so they have provided me with cyclosporine its incredible cleared up my eczema straight away now I can eat milk products and fatty products and it doesn’t flair up like it used to, however recently been having similar symptoms to that of gluten with cream, Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, Thornton’s chocolates and double cream but the doctors are reluctant to give me a lactose intolerant test, think they already think I’m using up enough of NHS money what with my gluten free products, it’s interesting to have read that the two are interlinked perhaps I’ll just stop eating lactose as well or go and get some of those Lactaid tablets!! Thanks for all your help!!

I have celiac disease and one day I ate some ice cream and started itching really badly all over..no rash, just very bad itching. I came to find out it was from celiac, so now no dairy or gluten!

Stephanie, Try getting your thyroid tested. I have both hpyothyrodism and just recently tested positive for celiac disease. Some of the symptoms are similar like feeling cold and hair loss. It can't hurt to try. I've also had a false positive for lupus as well.


Goodluck. :)

If you are cold all the time you need to get your thyroid checked out. Get the following tests done: TSH, Free T3, Free T4, and thyroid antibodies!

These topics are so confusing but this heelped me get the job done.

If you've gone totally gluten free, but are still experiencing a lot of the symptoms, I would definitely stop eating dairy for awhile as well. But maybe more than that, I think it's a good idea to go on a candida diet, or close to it, if you can handle that (at least eliminate/reduce dairy, sugars, processed foods for awhile). An unhealthy celiac body is an easy target for yeast production - and that can cause a lot of similar symptoms.....skin problems, headaches, mucus, fatigue, brain fog, etc.
