Lactose Intolerance Is Gone!

After being very lactose intolerant for 25 years, my lactose intolerance has disappeared! Like completely disappeared - I can now eat an entire bowl of ice cream with no ill effects whatsoever! Previously, even a tiny bit of butter or milk would cause room-clearing gas and hours of gurgling. The problem went away quite suddenly after 8 months gluten free. I knew this could happen as the villi heal, but I did not expect to be fortunate in this regard myself because my biopsy showed normal villi (though all sorts of inflammation elsewhere).

Anyhow, I don't have a question here - I just wanted to share the good news. For others who had a normal biopsy but many other celiac symptoms that resolved on a gluten-free diet, there is hope that lactose intolerance too might go away!

      Since medical insurance is not affected directly by celiac disease on an ongoing basis (i.e. medication, medical devices, daily monitoring, home care nursing, etc), I rather doubt anyone would be denied a policy for having it as a pre-existing condition. I’ve certainly never been and I have two pre-existing conditions that are managed with diet alone and both are long-well-known by my doctors and via medical testing and procedures. Insurance is all about risk management, not health.

      I got beaten so bad playing dominoes that made me realize that I was probably eating something with gluten, the culprit (Simms premium cracked pepper STEAKSTRIP). Now I can look back and see all other symptoms: irregular stools, bad sleep, desire to eat uncontrollably, bad mood, etc. Gluten really does a job on my short-term memory.

      I can confirm this. I no longer have any issues with Iodine since being strictly gluten and dairy free.

      I should point out that iodine is known to exasperate dermatitis herpetiformis blistering. It can take several months or even years of a strict gluten-free diet for the IgA-TG3 deposits to clear from the skin. After the skin completely heals, iodine may no longer trigger symptoms. "The circulating antibodies disappear and skin symptoms resolve as a result of gluten-free diet but the cutaneous anti-TG3 IgA deposits may persist for several years.
