Lactaid Milk

Hi everyone,

I've been gluten-free for 6 months and want to reintroduce dairy into my diet. I was wondering if anyone knows whether Lactaid milk is gluten-free. Their website has no information about the gluten-free diet. Thanks.

Yes--I emailed them several months ago, and their milk is gluten free. I drink it almost every day, and I have never had problems with it.

Hi jmengert and jaten,

Did Lactaid not sit well with you at first? I had a lot of discomfort after drinking it. About 2 hours affter having the Lactaid I got stomach cramps, gas, and bloating. I have been tested for a milk allergy and I don't have one. Has it just been too soon for me to start drinking it? Thanks for your advice.

Hi, Jen--No, I've never had a problem with Lactaid, but I've been lactose intolerant my entire life and have been drinking it since I was a child. If it's not a dairy/casein allergy that you're experiencing, then I'm not sure what to suggest. Maybe other people have some ideas....I hope you figure it out!

Hi Jen -

I've tested negative for a dairy allergy, but I have a very severe dairy intolerance. Lactaid makes me really sick. The only dairy I can tolerate is raw organic goat cheese. Anything processed or pasturized makes me sick. I was also unable to tolerate lactose free rice cheese that had casein in it. Hope you figure it out too. :)

Thanks for writing everyone. I'm not sure why I'm having a hard time with Lactaid. My only guess is that my intestines are not fully healed and that it's still difficult for me to digest. I think I'll give it a little more time before I try it again. I drank lots of milk as a child and up until I began to get celiac symptoms and have never had a problem. Wierd.

I haven't found a product yet that I can drink a glass of. I use it on my cereal and it sits ok this way (I've never been one to drink my cereal milk...yegh). I've been gluten-free for about 10 wks, and along with celiac disease diagnosis I have trouble with dairy and soy as many others here. When I get ready to try drinking a glass of milk again, this is the one I'll start with, because as stated, it's the only I've been able to tolerate in lesser amts on cereal.

I a very sensitive Celiac, with Lactose intolerance. Would a sensitivity to Casein be causing my problems. Since starting using Lactaid Milk, I have had GI troubles, BAD!

Keep in mind that Lactaid is lactose-free but not caseine-free..the protein could be the problem, not the sugar.

      What can I substitute for almond flour? I plan on not doing the nuts either. I'm allergic to nuts.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests. Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times...

According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      Chances of being coeliac

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease.

      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.

      I was told it was to see how much damage has been caused. But just told CT with contrast not any other name for it.
