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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By trents · Posted

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.
