Why Does My Ability To Handle Dairy Constantly Change Back And Forth?

I'm totally baffled about dairy. I had gotten to the point where I cut it out completely except for traveling, since focusing on avoiding gluten is the priority, and because I seem to tolerate dairy in other countries. (Still a mystery.) I've never been sure what about dairy bothers me. I just know that I get painful cystic acne for 3 weeks, a bloated stomach ache for two days, and kind of spacey in the head for two days.

I just got back from a trip, and I'm pretty sure I was mildly glutened. My acne was horrible from the sunblock, and my belly looked pregnant and I had some major C, so I said, what the hell, I already feel like crap, I'll have some Haagen Dasz. Nothing happened. I have not gotten any painful cystic acne, I wasn't completely nauseated.

I mean, I know that dairy tolerance can change after healing, but after some gluten? I took extra probiotics when I got home from my trip, but I wouldn't expect that to make much difference.

Is the dairy you consume in other countries pasteurized? If not, that may be the connection. This is explained much better on mercola.com (who advises only to consume raw dairy). When dairy is pasteurized the dead bacteria/enzymes remain in the food and your body may mistaken the bacteria as a foreign substance. This can cause problems for some. I get acne as well. Adding probiotics can help because then the live bacteria make the dairy "whole" again, because food is supposed to have bacteria and enzymes - they help break it down. Perhaps, this is why you could handle the ice cream after taking the probiotics. This is also why many people can tolerate yogurt and not other dairy. My husbang can eat raw cheeses and have no problems. Give him pasteurized cheese and he starts wheezing. Like I said, I'm explaining this poorly. I recommend you logging on to mercola.com and searching for raw milk...he explains it much better.

Thanks for the link- I'll check it out. I actually suspected this. Last summer I was eating dairy the whole time in Greece and Turkey. When my dad was a kid (in Turkey) he wasn't allowed to eat dairy because it wasn't pasteurized, although that was many years ago. When I went to Italy on that same trip I didn't tolerate the dairy as well, but they had a lot more processed products like we have in the US.

      @shadycharacter, did you mean to reply to another post about sourdough bread? The present thread isn't about that.

      Thanks for your response. It seems to be only with gluten, illness, or vaccination.

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.
