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.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
