Vincent, I ate Hershey's dark chocolate (not chocolate milk, but a chocolate bar) about three weeks ago, and got glutened symptoms within half an hour, and felt bad all day the next day (diarrhea, gas and feeling weird). I think it was the soy lecithin, but can't be sure.

I had a terrible reaction from Hershey's syrup--and I know it was the syrup because the first time it happened, I had it drizzled over a banana. Got really sick, like gluten. Had it again and the same thing happened. Anyway, Vincent--I'm so sorry you got so sick :( . I wish I never suggested the Lactaid--please don't be mad :ph34r:

Man, so many pieces to the puzzle. I sure hope you feel better soon, Vincent. How reliable are the skin tests? More or less than the blood tests? My daughter's fecal test from enterolab rated a 45 and her blood test result was a .39 - the positive reading begins at .35 for milk allergy.

Take care,

Denise

I dunno.. the doc seemed to think they were good.

Well I guess that I will get the lactid milk stuff and this time not add herys to be safe... but ugh Im a bit gun shy now. Ugh... hopefully this passes soon.

Seldom is someone totally lactose intolerant. Most adults who have a problem with milk sugar still make some of the digestive enzyme (lactase) and it may be just a matter of reducing the amount of noncultured milk products you use or adding some of the commercial enzyme products to them.

Try some different brands of soy milk. They vary tremendously in how they taste. I tried some at work today and it wasn't very good. The brand Costco sells (do you have a Costco store nearby?) is very tasty in my opinion. Maybe its just a matter of giving yourself time to get used to it. I remember switching over from whole milk to skim milk some years ago. At first the skim milk tasted like chalk water. I made myself use it, however, and now it's the other way around. Now, when I try to drink whole milk it seems so rich it almost makes me sick.

I've read that most people in the world are lactose intolerant. That Americans are the rare ones who actually consume dairy throughout their lifetime. Most countries do NOT have Dairy farming or use dairy. Americans have the highest percentage of bone breaks, hip fractures and osteoporosis in the world and are the largest consumers of dairy products in the world.

The last two paragraphs are really telling.

To add to what jnkmnky wrote... We are human, but still belong to the "animal kingdom" and we are the only mammals that continue to consume milk after infancy. Hmmmm.... :)

We are also the only animal to devople fire... should we give that up to? :lol:

There are tons of web sites devoted to the milk issue. You can google them all day long. I think the truth is that Americans have been so brain washed into this idea that you NEED milk or your children will have broken bones that they can't imagine a daily life without the stuff.

I told a friend I was eliminating dairy from my kid's diet and she was so worried about their bones. The look on her face was that one that accuses you of being a bad mother! :rolleyes: There was no convincing her that my kids would get MORE calcium from the foods they ate by eliminating dairy. And she's an educated woman, the wife of a doctor, with two kids of her own. Just completely brainwashed by our dairy industry.

Like one of my links asked..... Where are the Dairy cows getting their Calcium?????? The grass and grains they consume! They're not drinking milk!! :)

jerseyangel Proficient

My personal take on milk is that it is for baby cows. Even cows, after infancy, don't drink it--and they manage to make all that milk! I don't think humans were "built" to drink the milk of another species. Cow's milk was designed to make a 50 lb. calf grow into a 300 lb. cow in 6 months. The reason that the MDR of calcium is so high is because they assume people are getting their calcium from dairy, and are only absorbing a small amout of it after digestion. I have been off dairy since July 2004. In that time, my face has come to look different. B) The artifical bloat is gone. I wish my family would embrace dairy free, but they enjoy their ice cream too much. My younger son is lactose intolerant, and uses Lactaid. I feel he'd be better off just not eating things he needs help digesting. At least they respected my decision to go dairy free--good practice for gluten-free :D .

My personal take on milk is that I use it in my ceral and eat ice cream, cause get this... IT TASTES GOOD. Lots of stuff we all eat, candy for example, is bad for us to varius degress. :D :D

BUT looks like no more tasty ice cream for me. :(

I am one of those people who thinks that milk isn't good for you in large quantities. Unfortunately I love it :( . I am thinking about giving it up to see if that could cause a problem on top of the gluten. Soy milk isn't bad in coffee, but I just can't stand it in cereal. I rather just give up cereal. My DD isn't crazy about milk and only has it with cereal or hot chocolate. My son isn't big on cow's milk either (he prefers mommy milk instead :P). I try to tell my husband that he might be lactose intolerant (because he has lots of stomach problems he won't admit to), but he thinks that I am wrong. I don't know why he won't even try to give up milk products for a while to see how he feels.

Damn Vincent! :)

(Only if its detrimental to our health)

Patty and Jnkmnky--I do agree with what you've said. There was quite a bit of discussion on similarities in effects of milk to gluten in Dangerous Grains...did you read that? My affinity for smacking down marketing milk-pushers aside though...I would be eating cheese right now if I could :D

My problem is that I just love the stuff so much.

The closest I can get to Utopia (other than the obvious, of course, which involves Altoids..... ;):D ) is guzzling a huge ice cold glass of milk, not even coming up for air until it is all done. Nothing quenches my thirst better.........

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Seabeemee! The fact that the genetic testing shows you do not have either of the two genes associated with the potential to develop celiac disease (HlA DQ2 and HLA DQ8) pretty much ensures that you do not have celiac disease and the biopsy of the small bowel showing "normal villous architecture" confirms this. But you could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which would not damage the villous architecture. You could also have SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) or H. Pylori infection. Both of these conditions would thrive on carbs and you do say you feel better when you don't eat a lot of carbs. And with your resection of the small bowel, that could be causing it's own problems like you describe. When was that surgery done? You have had over 1 foot of your small bowel removed by that surgery in 2022 so that would certainly challenge digestion and nutrient absorption.  Edited

      My Doctor messaged me that I have no sign of Celiac disease so until I meet with her next week I don’t know what the labs mean. I am being evaluated by my new GI for Celiac disease because of digestive issues (bloating, distention, fullness in mid section, diarrhea).  I also have been diagnosed with GERD and some associated issues hence the endoscopy. I also was diagnosed with NAFLD after an abdominal CT scan in December - which surprises me because I gave up alcohol 5 years ago, workout 5 days a week, cardio / weights and cook from scratch every night. Anecdotally,  I do feel better when I do not eat a lot of carbs and have been staying away from gluten 95% of the time until my follow up.  History: I had an emergency bowel obstruction operation in August 2021 for a double closed loop obstruction, open surgery removed 40 cm of my small intestine, my appendix, cecal valve and illeocectomy. Beside the fact that this put me in the situation of no longer being able to absorb Vitamin B12  from my diet and having to  inject Vit B 12 2x a month, I also became Iron deficient and am on EOD iron to keep my levels high enough to support my Vitamin B12 injections, as well as daily folic acid. I tested positive for pernicious anemia in 2022 but most recently that same test came back negative. Negative Intrinsic Factor. My results from the biopsies showed 2nd part of Duodenum, small bowel Mildly patch increased intraepithelial lymphocytes with intact villious architecture. Comment: Duodenal biopsies with normal villous architecture and increased intrepithelial lymphocytes (Marsh I lesion) are found in 1-3% of patients undergoing duodenal biopsy, and an association with celiac disease is well established however the specificity remains low. Similar histologic findings may be seen in H pylori gastritis, NSAID and other medication use including olmesartan, bacterial overgrowth, tropical sprue and certain autoimmune disorders. So my GI ordered Labs for Celiac confirmation: Sorry I couldn’t upload a photo or pdf so typed below: TEST NAME                               IN RANGE and/or RESULTS RESULTS:  IMMUNOGLOBULIN A :           110 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG, IGA)                            <1.0 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGA)                                     <1.0 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG)                                    <1.0 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE ANTIBODY, IGG, IGA TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGG                                     <1.0 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA                                     <1.0 INTERPRETATION: <15.0 ANTIBODY NOT DETECTED  > OR = 15.0 ANTIBODY DETECTED RESULTS: HLA TYPING FOR CELIAC DISEASE INTERPRETATION (note The patient does not have the HLA-DQ associated with celiac disease variants) More than 97% of celiac patients carry either HLA-DQ2 (DQA1*05/DQB1*02) or HLA-DQ8 (DQA1*03/DQB1*0302) or both. Genetic counseling as needed. HLA DQ2 : NEGATIVE HLA D08: NEGATIVE HLA VARIANTS DETECTED: HLA DA1* : 01 HLA DA1* : 05 HLA DQB1*: 0301 HLA DQB1*: 0501 RESULTS REVIEWED BY: Benjamin A Hilton, Ph.D., FACMG I appreciate any input, thank you.

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.
