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...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
