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.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
