If I think I have a problem with casein what tests should i ask my dr to do? Also should I go see a GI dr to get these tests done? My drs have not been too helpful and my insurance runs out in about three months :(

I'm not aware of doctors testing for casein intolerance. You can test through Enterolab or York or Great Smokies I believe. I could be wrong but thus far I havent heard of any doctor testing for it. They will test for lactose intolerance though.

We don't have any tests for casein intolerance in Canada (that I know of) and I can't afford those labs such as York. So you can strictly eliminate all dairy from your diet and then after a few weeks try to reintroduce it. For example, most hard cheeses don't have any lactose, so if you eat some hard cheese and react it is likely to the casein.

I've been thinking its a lactose problem but my blood test were negative. I've done the lactose free milk and I got sick, so then I thought it was just a milk allergy. So whats the difference between a milk allergy and a casein intolerance? I am so lost!?!?

what cheese is gluten free and lactose free? Any at all?

Most cheeses are gluten-free. But in Canada we have one large manufacturer that won't guarantee any of their dairy products gluten-free. Most swiss cheeses and some gouda's are lactose free. A milk allergy, like any true allergy will cause an anaphalaxis reaction, such as hives, breathing diffuculties and so on. A casein intolerance like other intolerances may cause digestive problems, such as diarrhea, constipation, nausea, etc. I had midterms so I haven't been on here for awhile, sorry for the delayed response.

If you want to order testing and are willing to pay some, great plains labs did my casein/intol testing. My insurance, anthem, paid for part of it also.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
