Which Dairy Allergy Is Linked To Celiac?

[JoJo2310]

From what Ive read if you have celiac there's a chance you could be lactose intolerant.

 

Im still waiting for my biopsy to confirm celiac but my daughter has responded well to a lacto free diet so I have tried it for myself.  I felt really tired on the 2nd day but since then not as tired & finally have non greasy hair!!!!  Ive had lacto free milk with coco powder tonight & within 30 minutes I feel like my temples are being pressed in & itchy all over - especially my head & a rash I already have on my hand.

 

I suppose my question is - is it just lactose intolerance that is linked to celiac or is a dairy or casein allergy possible aswell???

 

Im even more confused than ever now as to whether it is celiac I have or has it been dairy all along.  The only thing I keep on remembering is the only time my permanent red cheeks started to fade is when I went gluten free last summer & how ill I felt when I started to eat gluten again!

 

TIA

Lactose intolerance is common for unhealed Celiacs. Celiac damages the villi in the small intestines. These villi help us digest the lactose in milk products. Not all milk products have a lot of lactose. You can google that on a reputable site like Mayo and find out which foods.

Many times, after a few months, you will be able to digest lactose, again. Some adult humans, celiac or not! cannot digest lactose.

Just wanted to add that casein allergies are not uncommon either.  But that's also something people can have whether or not they have Celiac.  I don't know if it is more common in Celiacs or not though...
