Hi. Just found this site. I was diagnosed 2years ago with coeliac disease in the form of gluten ataxia. Despite being gluten free

I still have neuropathy pains in hands and feet, alsomtinnatus.Wondering if going dairy free will have any effect.

would love some advice.

Might, I have lactose intolerance and a whey allergy on top of celiac disease. I had this issues way before my celiac dia. BTW I have the nerve issues also 3 years later I still have damage to feeling of touch in my hands and feet -_-. At least I do not have the pains, or full random motor loss anymore lol, the brain fog to the point of berserk confusion was the worst, oh the stories from that time. I was scary.

Back to the topic, go ahead and try dropping the dairy for a month and you can bring it back in later then make your own decision, there are plenty of dairy free options, I make my own cheese sauces, My own diary free sugar free ice cream, and drink various nut and seed milks on rotation, along with unsweetened coconut yogurt. Found some cream cheese extracts, and cheese flavoring extracts in the last year and fell in love with making my own dairy free recipes while enjoying the flavors from my childhood >.> just recently found coconut whipped cream lol. Anyway If you need any suggested on brands or alternatives I have a HUGE list, heck been lactose intolerant for over 10 years.

The villi which are damaged by celiac produce the enzymes to break down lactose, so when they are damaged they can cause issues with diary digestion, Dairy in some people does also have mental and neurological issues but this is normally in people within the autism spectrum. Studies on this are iffy with ones showing both sides. I have autism and the gluten ataxia so I can not say really, But I do notice I have a bit more of a mood swing issue with I accidentally consume dairy. NOW this could be from my gut hurting me and bloat making me miserable, my autism flaring up from what ever reasons related to dairy, or it could be the ataxia. Since I have all the issues with some studies relating back to dairy I can never narrow it down and just avoid dairy and consider it poison to my body lol. SO I am not the one to really rely on in relation to information on this just my off opinion. Perhaps some others can give you some advice. NOTE there are some dairy lovers here (brain washed by the American dairy association studies and commercials >.> )  that swear by the stuff, and others like me who hate it with a passion so much we claim the other side of the rally (I admit I am very biased against dairy) so expect likewise biased opinions and make your own judgement.

Also I do not know if listed there yet but I have been doing more experimenting with a few other brands of diary free cheeses a like daiya, lisannatti, and Julian Bakery. -_- My stomach is not agreeing with the daiya in large amounts, but it has the most cheesy texture cooked/melted, raw/cold it is nasty and dry, Lisannatti shreds are great raw cold or melted.  the blocks...mush too much but work in cooking again odd issues in large amounts with my stomach. and the julian bakery seems to the most tolerable and can be ordered online but has the worst texture. Really just prefer making my own cheese sauces and adjusting the fats, seasoning, and vinegar/lemon juice to get the desired kick and bite of a nice cheese.

There's certainly nothing wrong with going off dairy. I had to for at least a year. It's hard at first but you get used to it! I wish you good luck.

      Actually, human agriculture only started 10-12,000 years ago, while the Neanderthals were gone by 30,000 years ago (and greatly diminished long before then).

      In addition to the other advice offered, perhaps you could identify some good recipes for gluten-free treats that you could make at home with your child, and maybe make a little fuss over how good gluten-free treats are. I regularly make gluten-free banana bread with different recipes that use buckwheat, garbanzo bean, etc flours, gluten-free ginger snaps...

      Celiac Disease Linked to Neanderthal Ancestry

      From the original post: "Some indicate negative effects, with putative links to various diseases as measured by genome-wide association studies (Sankararaman et al. 2014. Simonti et al. 2016)." ---> The links in the original post lead to a different article. I think these might be the correct links: "The landscape of Neandertal ancestry in present...

      Scientists Make Major Advance in Autoimmune Disease Therapy

      The main use for leukapheresis is to mitigate (not cure) certain blood disorders, particulary certain types of blood cancer. It's kind of like "thinning the herd" when your body makes too many white blood cells. Doesn't fix the underlying problem, but it buys some time. The car-T people utilize the same technology to collect enough T cells (a type of...

      This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms

      Olmesartan is the ARB most strongly linked to sprue-like enteropathy, a condition that can closely mimic celiac disease with diarrhea, weight loss, villous atrophy, and often negative celiac blood tests. Some newer reports suggest this reaction may not be limited to olmesartan and could represent a possible ARB class effect, with cases reported for drugs...

      Symptoms Dismissed

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Chronic fatigue in the producer was the inspiration for the episode but I feel it touches on anyone that suffers and is dismissed as psycosomatic. The patient expressed my feelings elequently.  In episode 2 the doctor explains the problem well. I stopped all commercial milk protein like skim milk added to processed foods and in a few days there was a definate improvement in my  gut, bowel movements, discomfort etc. Still drinking several glasses of Pasture Fed grass fed milk with no negative effects.   Specifically, for myself Clonidine is the only medication that lowers my BP and the doctor did not renew it, insisting that I continue Losartan.  I think that she thinks I am abusing Clonidine and the reason the Losartan doesn't work is because I am non-compliant.  Absolutely not. Surprisingly after a few days withdrawal from the Clonidine my fasting blood sugar has gotten under control.  Fasting blood sugar near normal instead of over 160.  Last few days its been below 100.  I still need Glimiperide.  Without the clonidine my pulse rate is around 100 bpm, with it around 60.   Prescription of angiotensin receptor blockers in celiac disease is associated with persistent symptoms and surrogate markers of malabsorption.  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12323722/ Angiotensin receptor blocker-associated enteropathy (ARB-e) is an increasingly recognised clinical entity with symptoms and histological findings identical to coeliac disease (celiac disease). There is evidence to suggest immune-mediated mucosal injury in ARB-e with a high prevalence of DQ2/DQ8; however, as IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-TTG) is usually negative   https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ueg2.12117 NEW research [Nov 2024] presented at the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Annual Scientific Meeting suggests that angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), a class of drugs commonly used to manage hypertension, may be associated with poorer outcomes in patients with coeliac disease. Findings indicated that patients taking ARBs had a higher likelihood of experiencing persistent symptoms and markers of poor small bowel healing, such as anaemia and iron deficiency.  https://www.emjreviews.com/en-us/amj/gastroenterology/news/angiotensin-receptor-blockers-may-worsen-coeliac-disease-outcomes/

      Some inflammation in ileum with celiac?

      By mermaidluver22 · Posted

      @BarcinoHi! I am so sorry abt your son but also relieved to know I am not alone! My ttg iga is still mildly elevated but going down. Last time we checked I had some small erosions in my ileum but recently got an MRE that showed no inflammation. Calpro 70. We are still in limbo but we are taking a conservative approach as well. Please keep me updated about his situation and outcomes! I always love to hear others opinions/experiences especially ibd specialists.
