Goat cheese issues?

Hello everyone. I hope I posted this in the right place. Anyways, I have recently started trying goat products for the first time mainly due to hearing how much better it is for you than cows milk. I do have issues with regular dairy in consistent amounts which I know is common and I have been meaning to try cutting it out completely but it's in so many good things so I essentially just suffer through the same way I dealt with my undiagnosed celiac for 10 years and then hate myself lol. So I tried goats milk and it was disgusting and I didn't have more than the one sip, then last night my boyfriend bought a bunch of fancy goat cheeses and I ate about half of the small pack of one that I didn't like very much since it had the same taste as the milk (I felt bad cuz he's a foodie and was so excited for me to try goat cheese with him) and then the whole small pack of the one that was seasoned enough to not taste horrible. Within a few hours I got really sick with nausea but it passed, then all night I suffered from horrible constipation, nausea, and pain. Which I know constipation is common with cheese but it was the same type and pain as when my intestines are reacting to something else, I don't know about anyone else but I can tell the difference between flare/glutened and normal bowel issues. The pain wasn't bad enough to be an actual flare and I know it wasn't caused by actual gluten but it was definitely one of those sensitivity things that upsets and confuses my intestines still, my only question is why? Has anybody else with celiac experienced issues with goat cheese? If anything all I've seen is how people substitute goat dairy for real dairy and it helps them. I've looked around the internet and can't find a single sign of someone having an adverse reaction to goat cheese, so I had hoped that since it affected me in the way sensitivity issues do maybe a fellow celiac would know something. Thank you!

I react to goat the same as dairy from cow, gas, bloating, constipation, some times nausea and vomiting. There are many dairy free options. I will post links to them and some recipes for dairy free cheese sauce and my dairy free cheesy bread this evening.

Dairy is dairy.  Goats milk has lactose, too.  so if lactose intolerance is your issue, it won't make much difference

      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...

Best wishes.

      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.
