Newly Diagnosed - Lactose Intolerant Too?

I was diagnosed with Celiac this month.  I've been gluten free for 6 weeks with some mishaps along the way.  Has anyone noticed a problem with dairy after going gluten free?  I'm noticing it and trying to figure out if there is a connection.

There is definitely a link between dairy and celiac disease.  I've read that roughly half off all celiacs are lactose intolerant at diagnosis, before going gluten-free.  It is believed that is caused by the intestinal villi blunting that celiacs experience.  

 

Lactase, the enzyme that digets the milk sugar, lactose, is made by the intestinal villi. When the villi are damaged they can no longer make lactase. Fortunately many celiacs regain the ability to tolerate milk to a certain degree after their intestines heal.  Most celiacs seem to be better able to tolerate dairy after being gluten-free for 6 to 12 months. It's often a good idea to skip dairy early in the healing process.

after I went gluten free I felt much better, but still had underlying issues. further testing revealed dairy and soy allergies.

DQ, if you haven't already, go to the coping section here and read the Newbie 101 thread. It'll help a LOT.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
