Casein Intolerance Symptoms

For those of you with casein intolerance, what kinds of reactions do you get and how long do they last if you consume casein?

I get horrible adominable cramping and nausea. When the casein is with dairy then it is even worse. I will walk the floor all night long in the middle of the night, and add nausea to even more extreme abdominable cramping and cold sweats.

Constipation (in the "very dense and hard" sense) and a not-so-lovely exacerbation of my hemmhroids. Bleh. Headache and abdominal achiness are also usually par for the course. It's nothing awful (besides the hemmhroids), but it's definitely better to avoid it!

Thanks for your responses. I ate aged hard cheese two days in a row after being cf for about a month because I wanted to see if I actually was casein intolerant. The first day was no problem except for some abdominal disconfort and gas. The second day I had worse abdominal discomfort and many bm's. I am still not feeling well today, day three. So I was just curious how other people react and if what I am experiencing is due to casein.

You could have problems with both casein and dairy.

I pretty much have the same reactions as Tiffany. Constipation is the biggie.

For me my abdomen swells, the winds rise then I either get constipation or near-diarrhea (lots of bm's that are nasty and sticky). Funny thing is, I never noticed it before, I thought it was just normal for me. But once I got the diagnosis, I went on one last ice cream binge and could feel it all happening!

I have only been casein free for 1.5 days and already the bloating is going away.

Mainly my stool changes. It gets skinny(squiggly) and semi-digested looking. (Sorry) It seems as though I can eat a little butter and a little yogurt and a little cheese. But ice cream and milk and large quantities of dairy are not good.

I get severely constipated and hemorrhoids too with any and all dairy/casein products. I feel really bloated and nauseaous for a few hours after drinking milk, cheese makes me gassy. They're just not worth it for me!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.
