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!

      Gluten Free Coffee

      By trents · Posted

      @Peace lily, can you be more specific about which coffee manufacturers have told you that their coffee is probably not safe for celiacs? What you say is contrary to just about everything I find when I research this issue on the internet, even taking into account cross contamination. The exception seems to be when flavorings are added that may contain grain products made from wheat, barley or rye. This individual tested numerous coffees with a Nima gluten sensor and found no issues: https://www.goodforyouglutenfree.com/is-coffee-gluten-free/. There may also be an issue with cross reactivity for some celiacs:  https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/is-coffee-safe-on-a-gluten-free-diet/ . Keep in mind that when you ask questions of food companies concerning whether or not a product is gluten free or "safe for celiacs" you may be getting an ultra-cautious response due to the fact that they are careful to cover their backsides when the product hasn't been specifically tested for gluten content or is not being marketed as such.

      Mallorca Guide

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      You already got some great recommendations. Just want to second that Mallorca (and Spain in general) is one of the best and easiest places for celiacs to travel. I have been to Mallorca multiple times and have never experienced any cross contaminations and there are SO many easy to buy options in regular supermarkets. Hope you have a wonderful trip.
