Not sure exactly what you mean? Milk does not contain gluten naturally. Someone would have to add it. So, just the protein should be gluten-free.

Milk doesn't contain gluten, but some people have difficulty with casein in the same way they have difficulty with gluten.  As I understand it, casein is (as a protein) similar enough to gluten that if your body decides it doesn't like gluten it can also get confused and decide it hates casein as well. 

 

Inflammation in the gut can also create a sort of temporary lactose intolerance, so if you suffer from gastrointestinal distress as a result of dairy products, that can also be the case.

I don't want to turn this away from the original question but there is currently no scientific evidence that milk causes celiac antibodies. I am hoping Wullie comes back and clarifies exactly what he or she is asking. They may just be wondering about protein powders you add to smoothies.

Hi,

 

I am thinking of getting myself tested for gluten intolerance as the symptoms i have read up on I have... including being rather gassy....

 

I am looking at ingredients on the back of savory rice and the allergy advice says Milk Protien and barley...

Milk is not gluten - so that part is fine. but barley contains gluten.

      Not officially diagnosed yet I goto the doctor a week from today but I'm 110% that will be the diagnosis I honestly can't believe my doctors/health care team hasn't put it together before I mean I'm basically the live and walking definition straight from the book haha I don't think I've ever been so sure on anything before I'm just reqly concerned for this diet I will be living on or diets I guess due to type 1 diabetes, gastroparesis, gerd, celiac disease, and lactose intolerance...what is left? A sand salad with a side of rain water?!? I definitely see a tough future

      Welcome to the forum, @Tlbaked13! Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease? It is well-known that celiac disease can result in peripheral neuropathy but so can diabetes.

      Lactic acid bacteria start to develop as soon as flour and water are mixed, so I assumed that in a yeast dough with long proofing time there could be some effect of fermentation and gluten break down.

      I am COMPLETELY new to this celiac disease however I have had the same feelings and then some with my feet for years now and been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy myself but they blamed and attempted to treat due from my type 1 diabetes and none of the treatment has helped at all so far so possible from celiac disease? Just sharing MY thoughts on this I've had zero confirmation

      I've not heard of the DNA test I will definitely look into that. And I did not know that the neuropathy was symptoms of vitamin deficiency. I have been trying to get on a good vitamin regimen. Thank you!
