Question For People With Casein Intolerance As Well As Celiac...

I thought I was having lactose intolerance issues to milk only, so I started on Lactaid milk, and was still having issues. I dropped the milk out in favor of Silk almond milk this morning, and my issues are already gone. As far as I know I can eat cheese, butter, cream, etc with no issues. Can I have a casein issue and it only effects me with straight milk? Has anyone else stumbled on this?

If it was casin, I believe all of those would effect you. Thats how my understanding works.

That's what I thought as well, but all symptoms I had when on even the Lactaid milk disappeared even after just one day with it. I feel like a new man. It's really bizarre...

I personally eat butter just fine. The problem is when I start eating more than just a very little cheese. I think that casein is worse in things like milk and cheese, and is minimal in butter (a fat).

My daughter has both a casein and a whey intolerance.  The whey is the liquid, the casein is the solid.  Hard cheeses would have next to now whey in them, but milk has plenty,

I have never heard the difference between casein and whey being liquid and solid. However, whey and casein are separate things but both are proteins in milkd.  I've read articles that seem to be calling whey casein and vice versa. The wikipedia article on lactose intolerance says that lactose is water soluble but not fat soluble, so it's not found in high quantities in things like butter.

 

I've heard that ghee (if made extremely carefully) is supposed to have no casein, but consists of whey as well as fat. You can also buy whey (not sure how pure) for body building powders and such. You could test eating whey only and see what happens. I've known people with whey allergies specifically.

 

However, I suspect that the broken down lactose is still bothering your system. A little reading and I found that lactose breaks down into glucose and galactose. Galactose seems to only come from milk, and of course, as in digesting anything it seems, there's some sort of transport mechanism for both absorbing glucose and galactose, which will likely be damaged.

Any brand of lactose free milk I've seen just has lactase added to it, so that the lactose is already broken down. This is not the same as in pure dairy fat because the lactose will have never been there in the first place, (I don't think) so you don't have to worry about glucose or galactose in them.

Open Original Shared Link there exist diseases where the intestine can't absorb glucose or galactose, so it seems entirely plausible for celiacs to have issues with this too.

(aside, 10% of the population have glucose digestion issues???!)

 

I had diarrhea issues with lactose free milk too (and I never had D with any sort of regularity before being gluten free, so it was pretty obvious it was the milk), although I strongly suspect I have issues with all dairy too. Body temp fluctuations, feel like I'm almost getting sick, swollen dry tongue, but I'm not about to test that with absolute certainty anytime soon as I'm still restricting my diet more as I still don't feel better.

Lactaid works for some people and not others.  It initially worked for me, but eventually I had to eliminate milk, cream, ice cream, frozen yogurt, while still being able to tolerate those foods which were cultured (yogurt), high fat / low lactose (butter) or where the lactose was consumed by enzymes (cheese).  I can now eat all dairy again.

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight.  My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she suggested it.

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.
