I am hoping this is my last topic, for awhile anyway - but those of you that are casien intolerant - what problems do you have should you eat it by mistake. Our family nurse practitioner has suggested that Bernadette get a skin test, what do you think about that?

Read the thread of B's diet --I just replied to the skin test idea etc.

I believe that the skin prick test will test for allergies to dairy. If you want to know about casein intolerance maybe ask your doctor about possible tests?

When I get into dairy, I usually start getting GI problems within an hour or so.

We are going to stop all dairy for awhile and see if this helps. What do you suggest we use for a dairy alternative in cooking - but I think she has to have it soy free also. We like to make clam chowder and she adds milk to her meatballs and meat loaf. If you could give me a brand and/or company I will take it to my health food store and see what we can do with it. i THANK YOU ALL for this past week of comments and suggestions. Isn't there something called Vance's Dairyfree or something like that? Has anyone tried that? I can't remember if we have tried it yet or not. Again, thank you all for reading and commenting and helping out. It is very much appreciated. We really don't have money for any of the tests, so I guess we are just gonna do it the way we can.

I use Pacific Foods Rice Milk. It's good in mashed potatoes and things like that. She could use it in her meatballs and meatloaf. Some rice milks, Rice Dream is one, have gluten in them so beware of that. Pacific Foods also has a Vanilla Rice Milk, but I've never tried it.

I'm off all milk and grains and soy at least for awhile. I'm using lots of coconut milk. Just got through making a batch of coconut milk yogurt! Actually, it turns out more like kefir than yogurt, but it is good! I mix a bit of sweetener with it and some lemon juice and it makes an awesome drink!

Bernadette may have to stay away from certain foods like clam chowder for a while...but if she wants to try it--there are several gluten-free rice milks I have used. (no soy or gluten in them). gluten-free ones i know of: pacific (has least favorite taste to me), wild oats rice milk, whole foods rice milk, lundberg rice drink, full circle rice milk

ps--rice dream has barley and almond milk (nut thins brand) has soy in it.

Artificial Butter Flavor

Butter, Butter Fat, Butter Oil

Buttermilk

Casein

Caseinates (ammonium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium)

Cheese

Cream

Cottage Cheese

Curds

Custard

Ghee

Half & Half

Hydrolysates (casein, milk protein, protein, whey, whey protein)

Lactalbumin

Lactalbumin Phosphate

Lactulose

Milk (derivative, powder, protein, solids, malted, condensed, evaporated, dry, whole, low-fat, milkfat, non-fat, skimmed, and goat's milk)

Nougat

Pudding

Rennet Casein

Sour Cream, Sour Cream Solids

Sour Milk Solids

Whey (in all forms including sweet, delactosed, protein concentrate)

Yogurt

What about margarine?

We use either Smart Balance with no whey or gluten - we also use a Saffola Brand that we can get at our grocery store. I suppose I will have to call them?

I've had very good luck with goat and sheep products. When I first went gluten-free, I eliminated dairy too. Yes, goat and sheep products are more expensive, but the cost is worht it to me. With goat milk / cheese I have no problems with digestion and can enjoy mac & cheese, creamed coffee, cakes, cookies (gluten-free, for me), pizzas (home made). Its made cooking much more enjoyable and I cant even tell you how much more I like eating. Recently, I've been able to start taking in some dairy again. I'm not sure if i have a problem with casin... still working on that one. . . but, in terms of digestion and enjoyment, I HIGHLY reccomend the sheep / goat. Other benefits? Usualy, these products are made organically and entirly without hormones / antibiotics associated with standard dairy.

good luck with the recovery - the hard part is figuring out what works, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result. I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned? Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous...

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease...

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
