I was Dx 11/04. Now thinking I need to avoid dairy. I am trying to educate myself about dairy free and casein free. I am a bit confused. Any advice would be much appreciated. For example, brands to eat, what to look out for, are eggs okay? Thanks again! ---Jessica

i'm casein free, and i eat eggs, if i didn't, i would have like no protein. For milk, i like Almond Breeze vanilla almond milk, and then you pacific rice milk for baking. Rice Dream is NOT gluten-free, it has barley in it. I like Whole Fruit sorbet for my dessert, it is really good, and they are all gluten-free/CF, and very tastey. there is a website Gluten-free Casein-free.org i think, and they have a lot of good resources, w/ a recipe book and a shopping guide to buy online. they are for autistic children, but they have some really good resources for gluten-free/Cf diets.

To look out for. Sodium/potassium lactate is a really common preservative, whey is bad, and basically chese, milk, butter and other stuff like that.

YOu can PM me or e-mail me with some more questions,

it should make you feel better.

You need to look for casein, milk and possibly whey on labels. Eggs are ok, its just milk derived products that have casein in them.

Thanks so much for the advice. I am still deciding if I want to go that route because I love yogurt. Also, what to use instead of butter and cheese? I also dont know if casein is really the reason I dont feel well. I was diagnosed 11/05, not 11/04. So I still dont feel well even eliminating gluten. Just trying to figure it all out.

      There are eight essential B vitamins. They are all water soluble. Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys. Thiamine is Vitamin B 1. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily. The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is...

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
