Milk Question

okay, I may be too paranoid, but this has been bothering me, if gluten is passed into breast milk (human) then wouldn't it be passed into cow milk (if they eat gluten)?

I am seriously worried about this, I know that there is a big thing with "grain fed cows" now, and how they eat a lot of wheat and such, so can the gluten pass into thier milk? I assume it can, but milk is so processed by the time if gets to us maybe the gluten doesn't survive? but, what if it does?

help, I may not be able to sleep until I find out, it's been bothering me since this morning...........

apparently the studies that have been done on cow milk, seem to indicate that they are better at processing the gluten and therefore it doesn't end up in the milk, besides, most of our milk is pasteurized beyond belief which like distillation of grain alcohols, is supposed to make it safe...

humans aren't designed to digest wheat... cows more than likely are better equipped to digest it and process it...

I dunno... I wouldn't worry about it, however, many celiacs are lactose intolerant until the damaged villi are healed, so dairy could make them ill...

thanks. We have been having "gluten issues" and I was going through thier entire diet, and I didn't think it was the milk, but the more analytical I get the more stuff I worry about. I suppose the search continues.......

does anyone know if there could be gluten in stickers?

Hi Joey/Nini

Nini--good explaination of the issue..thanks

Joey---missed you here.

I don't know about gluten-free milk but know i can't drink it or anything with milk now :blink: Lactose intollerant..

booooo.

Well according to Karen, the envelopes and stamps shouldn't be licked...bet that would include 'stickers' and we know how kids love stickers.

Also, Joey, If you haven't checked out the paper plates and paper towel thread you MUST.

It's amazing ---we're being taken over by the 'gluten coodies' :blink::huh::ph34r:

Hope your doing well.

Gluten absolutely does NOT pass into cow milk or into the meat of animals. This has been confirmed by veterinarians and grain researchers. This simply is not a concern.

Every time anybody has ever checked on stickers, they have been gluten-free. The adhesive is not the type that would use wheat.

Thanks so much..see how a newbie 'just assumes' one thing transfers to another...sticky stuff = sticky stuff with gluten.

So glad your there all the back ground facts...

Smunkee,

You are not alone....I too wondered about the gluten in cow milk. I hope there isn't any because I eat dairy every day. Richard, I would love to see a study, because a lot of doctors say that gluten can't be passed via breastmilk either (and they are wrong). Let's hope the cows DO have better digestive systems than us people.

Merika :)

it's perfectly reasonable to suspect stickers... in fact most of the information on safe school products always includes a warning about stickers. I let my daughter play with stickers, but she does NOT stick them on her skin, and she MUST wash hands immedieately after playing with stickers. Better safe than sorry.

Well they have multple stomaches, and are designed to be veggitarians, while ppl are designed to be omnivores and only have 1 stomache, thats a fiarly big difference.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
