Casein Sensitive And Lactose Intolerant?


CMCM

Recommended Posts

I always figured I was lactose intolerant because you can read about it so much, and there are lactaid pills, etc. Supposedly 75% of people actually are lactose intolerant! So in the process of my celiac testing I find out I'm also casein sensitive. Now I'm wondering if I could actually be BOTH at the same time??? And how would one figure this out?

I'm definitively both, I react to products that don't have casein but have lactose added to them as sweetener, and I also react to products that are lactose free but happen to have casein in them. But if you're casein intolerant, you need to avoid all dairy anyway, so I don't quite see why you would need to know if lactose is also a problem or not? Is there some product you would like to continue eating that only has lactose in it?

I am both casein and lactose intolerant. I avoid all dairy. An easy way to test is to eat dairy, take the lactaid pills and if you don't react, you are probably not casein intolerant (from what I have read before on the boards). The pills never helped me and I gave all dairy up before learning that there was even a difference except I could not eat ANY dairy. Stay away from goats milk if you are casein intolerant too - learned that one the hard way.

Actually I seem to be fine with moderate amounts of hard matured goats cheese. Goats milk not, because of the lactose in it, but goats cheese doesn't, and the protein seems to be different enough for me to tolerate it.

I always thought I was intolerant to both. I haven't experimented much with dairy since eliminating gluten from my diet though, so I'm not sure anymore. I can seem to tolerate raw goat cheese, but that's about it so far. I did try rice cheese with casein but that definitely gave me a reaction.

I am both as well!

I always thought I was just lactose intolerant, so I would take pills whenever I ate dairy, sometimes they helped and sometimes they didn't. Ice cream and milk were always killers for me regardless. I could eat the dariy queen ice milk a little better. I continued drinking lactose free milk, eating rice cheeses and other items like yogurt. The one thing that was happening to me as a reaction, was I was constipated/irregular all of the time, meaning I wouldn't go for days and days. Jenvan challenged me to give up all dairy to see if that would help. One month later and I am feeling a whole lot better about myself and my body is responding so much better. I am no longer bloated up either. I really miss my rice cheeses, it's like I have to learn how to cook all over again. Giving up gluten was hard, and now all dairy. But if I feel better, than that is all I need!

I guess it's a moot point for me...because yes, due to being casein sensitive that's the end of it, I shouldn't eat dairy. I was just wondering about it, though. And I have to say lactaid pills may have helped a bit in the past, but not entirely. I'm actually finding that the dairy restriction is perhaps harder than the gluten one. Gluten and dairy really wipe out a huge proportion of food I can eat. :angry: Sometimes I feel like I don't even care about eating anything any more, I wish I could just take some sort of pill to feed my body but dispense with the actual eating, which is getting pared down to plain meat, plain veggies, certain fruits, eggs. That's about it for me, I guess. :(:(:(

I agree that cutting out dairy is more restrictive than cutting out gluten. It is rather sad because I love cheese.

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health.  Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption.  Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms.   Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming in macrophages https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39890689/#:~:text=Our mechanistic study revealed that,necessary to protect against colitis. "Conclusion and implications: Our study provides evidence linking thiamine deficiency with proinflammatory macrophage activation and colitis aggravation, suggesting that monitoring thiamine status and adjusting thiamine intake is necessary to protect against colitis."

      Do keep in mind that most gluten free flours are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like gluten containing flours are required to do.   Consuming a diet high in carbohydrates without sufficient B vitamins to digest and process them into energy can lead to High Calorie Malnutrition and weight gain. Deficiency symptoms of B vitamins resemble gastrointestinal symptoms when after eating gluten.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a form of Thiamine deficiency.   Do talk to your doctors about supplementing with essential nutrients while on the gluten free diet, especially if you're consuming processed foods.

      Do be sure to talk to your doctors and dieticians about supplementing with a B Complex and extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine, TTFD, thiamine hydrochloride) and other nutrients one might be low in due to malabsorption of nutrients in Celiac Disease. This study shows that Thiamine deficiency and Vitamin C deficiency is frequently found in Hashimoto's.  From personal experience, Thiamine and Vitamin C has helped my Hashimoto's.

      Hi, @Rebeccaj, Those Villa that get damaged by eating gluten are the same billion that absorb nutrients from our food.  Damaged villa can't absorb nutrients, vitamins and minerals well.  If we don't get sufficient nutrients, our body can't function properly.  We can get brain fog, pins and needles or neuropathy, feeling off balance, and even worsening digestive symptoms. Talk to your doctor or dietician about taking vitamin and mineral supplements while healing.  The gluten free diet can be low in nutrients, especially if you eat gluten free facsimile processed foods.  Gluten containing breads have vitamins added to them to replace those lost in processing.  Gluten free facsimile foods usually are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins.   Taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, Vitamin D, and magnesium help the digestive tract heal, lowers histamine, and regulates the immune system.
