Additional Intolerances - Dairy, Potatoes

Montefisto

Recommended Posts

I just wanted to get some thoughts on the additional intolerances I've developed since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease and going gluten free.

 

I'm 1 year gluten free and there has been a lot of recovery during that time period though there's still a ways to go also.

 

When I first went gluten-free I avoided dairy for the first few months. After I could bear it no more, I began eating dairy again and was fine with it for about 2 months before it started to give me really bad D. So I stopped eating dairy.

 

Shortly after potatoes began to suddenly give me really bad D as well so I stopped eating them too.

 

A couple of months ago I tried reintroducing both.

 

Dairy still gave me D after I eat a lot of it although not as bad as before.

 

Potatoes seemed OK at first but then I got ill the day after. It felt like I'd been glutened and I wasn't sure If I had in fact accidentally consumed some gluten or whether it had been the potatoes. So I was sick for a few days - with nausea, brain fog, gas etc.

 

As I've been feeling better I decided to try both again.

 

Dairy no longer gave me any D. I really tested it to be sure. However, whenever I eat dairy I got brain fog. Digestively nothing seemed to be affected, just brain fog whenever I eat dairy which I haven't suffered with in quite a while. It took me a few days testing to be sure but Dairy was definitely the cause.

 

With the potatoes, I went in a bit more cautiously because of what happened last time and tried a few oven chips with my dinner. I still wasn't sure if I had been glutened or potato had that bad an effect on me previously but I got the same thing - I tried the chips on Monday and I have the same symptoms as before still today. Not as severe because last time around I had about 3 plates of oven chips over a weekend to test it whereas this time I just had a few chips but unmistakably the same symptoms.

 

I know we react differently to things but anyone have anything similar? When I first became intolerant to dairy and potatos the effect was the same but now they effect me both very differently. When it was just D I was confident that with time I'd be able to tolerate them again but now that I have the reactions I got now (and after a year gluten-free) I'm worried they're both lost to me forever.

It's very common to become intolerant to dairy and nightshades (potatoes) while healing. That doesn't mean you won't be able to tolerate them eventually. I would wait a minimum of 6 months or more before trying them again. Dairy is very hard to digest and my ND told me to consider dairy permanently out of my diet, along with gluten, but others might have another opinion.

Hi,

 

If the potatoes affect you then it could be a nightshade reaction.  Nightshades are potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant.  Some people can eat dairy after a while, but others develop a permanent reaction to it.  There's no way to know which group you fall into without trailing it again in 6 months or so.  Some people are lactose intolerant, others have a casein intolerance.  You can try testing lactose and casein separately.  Hard cheeses have little lactose but lots of casein.  So if you can eat hard cheese without symptoms it is probably a lactose problem.  If it is lactose you should be able to drink milk or eat ice cream as long as you take lactose pills.  If it is  a casein intolerance it is not as likely to go away.

Thanks guys.

 

I'm definitely going to give my intolerances some time before trying again and 6 months sounds like a good length of time.

 

Also, I'm sure it's a casein reaction and not lactose. I can't tolerate lactose free milk either and get exactly the same reaction as if I tried normal milk.. Again, no digestive symptoms anymore just brain fog.

My ND told me that once I'm healed, I can try cheese made from sheep or goat's milk. I guess it isn't so troublesome like cow's milk. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but it gives me hope that I may have cheese again! There are romano cheeses made from sheep's milk that taste just like parmesean only a bit stronger. That's the one I'm hoping for the most...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates? https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
