Casein Intolerance Symptoms

[Felidae]

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!
