Rapid gastric dumping- CC or lactose issue?

First, I want to say thanks to the veterans of this site who read through thousands of posts from people like me and take the time to respond you have been there for me in rough times before and I'm bummed that I am back with confusion!

I have been on a gluten free diet for 4 years and I occasionally have these rapid gastric dumping issues where I eat a meal and then within 30 minutes I am running to the bathroom for an urgent diarrhea evacuation (that's basically vomit because its all the food i just ate completely undigested). I have had no stomach surgeries or gastric bypass- none of that. I also off and on have phases where i am nauseous and nothing sounds good. My metabolism has always been high but i get so frustrated trying to find something that 1. is gluten free, 2. sounds appetizing enough to eat and 3. is semi healthy!  I crave stuff like pizza and nachos. Anyways- sometimes just 30-60 minutes after eating i am hungry again! Sick of eating!!!

I saw my doctor yesterday and she wants me to try dairy free for 30 days. I die. I eat dairy all the time- greek full fat yogurt and cheese are a staple in my diet for protein and calcium- I don't drink much milk so I don't see how if I eat dairy every day this causes intermittent dumping? I am depressed just thinking about doing DF and gluten-free (sorry to those who already do it I admire your strength) i am having a hard enough time just being gluten-free. 

SOOO my question is from y'all's experience:

Is this gastric dumping/urgent evacuation caused by cross contamination of gluten? ( I have a 16 month old that eats gluten so this may be increasing my exposure)

Or do you think this could really be lactose intolerance?

Also my immune system has been s$#& this fall and I already had hand foot mouth and now a KILLER cold. 

That is all- thanks for any input!!

When were you last tested for celiac antibodies (if you have celiac disease)?   My bet is that your gluteny toddler could be making you sick.  One of our members who is a PED MD and has celiac disease found that she was getting glutened by her small children.  It could be lasctose intolerance if you have active celiac disease, but that will not resolve if you continue to get exposed to gluten.

I was only tested for antibodies once, negative. My weird diagnosis is based on symptoms and a gene test by my doctor. If I were to ask for that test what do I need to ask for specifically?

I think maybe I am getting CC'd and that might have made me more sensitive to dairy? at least I hope its not forever. 

Thanks!

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!

      learned I had a high PTH level in 2022 suspected to be due to low vit D  got my vit D level up a bit but still have high PTH   I am 70 yrs old (today in fact) I am looking for someone who also has hyperparathyroidism that might be caused by malabsorption
