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

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.

      my IGG is 815 IGA 203  but tTG-Iga is   <0.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!   oh my god- 13 days of agony and the test is negative?  I don't even know what to do next. There zero doubt in my mind that I have an issue with wheat and probably more so with gluten as symptoms are dramatically worse the more gluten a product has   I am going to write up the history of my issues for the past few years and start a food/symptom diary to bring with me to the GI doctor in March.   I googled like crazy to try to find out what other things might cause these symptoms and the only thing that truly fits besides celiac is NCGS   but I guess there are some other things I maybe should be tested for ...? like SIBO?   I will continue to eliminate any foods that cause me distress (as I have been doing for the past couple of years) and try to keep a record. Can anyone recommend an app or some form or something that would simplify this? I have a very full and busy life and taking the time to write out each symptom name in full would be tedious and time consuming- some sort of page with columns to check off would be ideal. I am not at all tech savvy so that's not something I can make myself ... I'm hoping there's some thing out there that I can just download and print out   do I give up on testing for celiac with such a low number? I am 70 yrs old I have been almost completely off gluten for the most part for about 2 yrs. I had a meal of vital wheat gluten vegan roast,  rolls and stuffing made from home baked bread and an apple pie- and had the worst pain and gas and bloating and odd rumblings in my gut etc - almost went to the ER it was so bad. I was thinking, since I'm spilling a lot of calcium in my urine, that perhaps this was a kidney stone (never had one before but there's always that first time, right?)    Saw my endo on Jan 20th and after hearing the story about the symptoms from eating that holiday meal, she suggested doing a gluten challenge. She said 2 weeks was fine- she said stopping it in the middle if symptoms got bad was fine- In the meantime I'd read that 2 weeks was not enough- called and argued with the nurse about this, but ultimately decided to stop the gluten on the 13th day and get the test done because I was in too much pain and almost suicidal and knew I could not continue.   so.............. that's where I am now I have had no bread since Sunday. I did have some rolled oats today and had some gas and bloating afterwards I did have some wheat germ in a smoothie on Tuesday and had a stomach ache later that night.   but overall I feel so much better! all the joint pain is gone! the nausea is gone. The stomach pain and gas and bloating are going away. Still a bit gassy but no more of that horrible odor. wow, that would clear a room if I was out in public!  I see a GI nurse March 4th  I hope she'll be able to help sort this out! can you think of what my next steps might be?
