Milk Question

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

      I’d say celiac is likely.  Please continue to eat plenty of gluten until your endoscopy to be sure that any gluten-related damage can be seen.  Plus it gives you one last chance to enjoy your favorite gluten-containing foods. I hope the endoscopy/biopsies give you a definitive answer.

      I do also have the bloating, gas, constipation, hair loss, an auto-splenectomy that no one can see any reason for and some elevated liver enzymes that don't seem to have a cause, I also have joint pain and some spinal compression fractures that have no explanation.  I am only 42 so haven't had a bone density test yet.  My calcium was normal, but my D was a little low.  They haven't checked for any other vitamin deficiencies yet.  My blood test for an autoimmue disorder was quite high but my Thyroid was all normal.

      Hi, I have been having a lot of back pain and gut issues for 8 weeks or so.  I saw the GI on Monday and my results just came in from the lab.  Some of these number are high and off the little chart from the lab.  I am reading this correctly that I most likely have Celiac, right???  It would explain a lot of things for me.  She does have me scheduled for a colonoscopy and endoscopy in  2 weeks to do the biopsy.  I posted this prior, but forgot to put the range assuming they were all the same.  Someone advised me to repost with the ranges for some insight in the meantime. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 140 (normal) - Normal is 87-352 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA 256 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgG 65 (High) - Moderate to strong positive at or above 30 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 31 (High) - Moderate to strong positive above 10 t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG 10 (High) - Positive is at or above 10

      Usually, the blood testing is done first and the endoscopy/biopsy follows for confirmation if there are positive antibody test scores. Historically, the endoscopy with biopsy has been considered to be the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. If the tTG-IGA scores are very high (5x-10x normal), some doctors will forego the endoscpoy/biopsy and grant a celiac disease diagnosis without it. So, if you are starting with the endoscopy/biopsy that may be all you need to arrive at a diagnosis. Another possibility would be for the GI doc to do a blood draw for antibody testing on the same day you come in for the endoscopy/biopsy.
