I really think that lactose or casein is a problem for me, so I decided to do an elimination test on Wednesday. My stomach is still cramping and it dawned on me to look up my meds. Lactose is a main ingredient in 4 out of 5 of them! What to do? I can't stop taking them, because some of them are life-lines.

If you are not able to find another brand of the meds that meet your needs, you may be able to get some made to your specifications at a compounding pharmacy. I would start by asking your local pharmacy where one is in your area. They should know.

While I am casein intolerant, I found that I didn't have any problems with the pharmaceutical grade lactose that was in my meds. Your mileage may vary, of course, but I don't worry about casein in pharmaceutical grade lactose.

I did some research and found that pharmaceutical grade lactose only contains .01% milk protein. I'd say that's safe enough for me to continue with my cf journey. Thanks so much for clarifying about meds. It would have cost a fortune to have them made without lactose.

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?
