I Need Gluten!

I realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy realy hate to admit it, but dairy being gone from my diet now I am very sad to admit, I think I am diary intolerent (even though got a 0 on IgE for both casien and whey).

Sorry that this is such a tough one to deal with but I am glad that you are feeling enough of a difference as to be able to pinpoint the food that's causing you distress. Dairy products were one of my favorites until January 2006 when I gave it up completely to see if it was a problem for me. Sure enough. The funny part is that 2 weeks prior, I had told dh "thank goodness that we don't have to avoid dairy as opposed to gluten! I don't know what I would do!!". LOL!! I should have kept my mouth shut! I completely understand the emphasis on REALLY hating it. I had to completely overhaul the kitchen for 6 weeks straight to get out of my old dairy habits (butter here, milk there, cream in there).

Not to be a stick in the mud, but casein and gluten are so closely related in how they affect the body, I don't know if you'll be able to get gluten back in your diet. And then there's soy....

In any case, I hope that the challenge works out for you (AKA....that the results favor whatever response you would prefer :D ) And I also hope that by avoiding dairy your anemia goes away. Gotta love how the staples in our standard diets are messing us all up! lol!!

Its funny how this seems like a reality show/thread to see if there is a reaction to Vincent's gluten challenge.

:lol::lol::lol: Eating a 3rd bowl... man if this is a delayed reaction tommorow gonna realy suck!

Oh boy- this is gonna be interesting! Vincent- For your sake, I hope it's one or the other, but not both (gluten and dairy). I've always said that dairy is much more delicious than gluten because gluten-free pasta, etc. is pretty darn good. But i have yet to find a dairy replacement (OK- read CHEESE whenever I say dairy) that's not soy based (I definitely do NOT tolerate soy well) that even remotely tastes like dairy. So, i hope you get what you're wishing for....painlessly! hang tough!

I much rather be gluten intolerent then dariy. :( Ah well we dont get to choose, so jsut gotta deal and move on....

I did a wheat test a while back (never realized how tasty wheat thins were!) and it wasn't until my 3rd day that I started to feel it and then *wham* did it hit!

Berneses - I have to agree with you! Giving up dairy (CHEESE) is so much harder. There are so many gluten-free alternatives out there... but nothing replaces good old dairy products. I miss them so!

WEll if it takes that long I'll get matoh next probably. Cereal almsot gone LOL.

You should eat some really yummy bagels (I can't believe I'm advising someone to eat bagels!). The flour in bagels is supposedly really really gluteny.

When I did my gluten challenge prior to endoscopy, I got so sick that I couldn't even have my endo. The interesting part was that it took a month and a half for me to react to the gluten. When I did react though, it was pure torture! I was in bed for almost a week because I was so exhausted and the bathroom was my best friend.

Good luck, Vincent!

Guest nini

Vincent hon, keep in mind that some people with Celiac or gluten intolerance DO NOT get immediate symptoms or even an obvious delayed reaction

heheh I could have my old stand by of BLT on Cinimon Rasin... but are begeal DF???

Yes, bagels are generally DF (check ingredients - but I ate them allll the time when I was only DF).

Nini, hon, :) Suuuuuurrrree... but if I have no symptons, no postive bloodwork, nothing in the 2 biposyies, why should I suspect it? Milk intolerence lists anemina as a sympton, and thats the only postive celiac disease related thing I have. Oh bone loss, but again milk would could do that... so then if I do not end up with any symptons this week, I will assume milk was the issue, and stay mostly gluten-free for my sons sake.

just a friendly reminder that's all, why would you suspect it? oh I don't know... does your wife have it? Tymber had to get it from someone, also I didn't know dairy intolerance could cause your anemia?! I don't know the answers, and I whole heartedly admit that I'm of the opinion that gluten is toxic for everyone. SO, that being said, I was just offering an observation and friendly reminder! (besides I'm feeling a lil cranky, I think I got glutened today and a few days ago...)...

I didn't know dairy intolerance could cause your anemia?!

Oh yes. Dairy (especially homogenized, conventional and pasteurized) can cause all sorts of lovely problems....just as many as gluten actually. But it's really difficult to find reputable internet sources which outline it in enough detail that you can research it effectively. The most interesting article I have found is this one: Open Original Shared Link Keep in mind, that this article is geared more towards children but if you then start searching for milk allergy induced anemia....the info starts coming in. I have found that two of the best places to begin these searches on foods and nutrition are mercola's site and the Wellbeing Journal (their on-line articles are controversial, will prompt a flurry of denials in your head and yet check out pretty consistently when you go onto medical sites like The Lancet and/or experiment on yourself....which really is the best way to find out if a theory holds water....as long as the experiment isn't a serious health-risk).

It also helps to run searches on specific foods and cancer. Dairy is a known contributor to the cancer epidemic. Many prostrate cancer patients are often told to avoid ALL of it to help prevent the disease from spreading. Made me wonder why dairy is touted as so healthful if it assists in the proliferation of cancer cells (prostrate, breast and uterine that I know just off-hand). Yet the only time you are told not to consume it is when you have an anaphylactic reaction to it or have cancer. Every other time, it's a VITAL part of a "healthy" diet.

This was also a factor in why I began seeing a homeopath/MD/nutritionist. Every patient with a chronic or degenerative disorder is told about going gluten/casein-free the first day they walk in the door (and get literature on how to do it). He also addresses other potential food intolerances, environmental allergies, heavy metal exposures, vaccinations and medications and supplements (down to making you bring in all of your medicine cabinet so that he can make sure you're using things that are effective, safe and aren't contraindicated). He also asks for a detailed description of your diet and makes adjustments based on your condition, metabolic type and blood work. Plus, he shares medical literature whenever asked and encourages each patient to question everything and bring their GPs and specialists into the equation for care. My father's GP couldn't believe how thorough and "on the ball" this guy is. lol!! The only fault that I find with him is that he's more against dairy than gluten. :o

It may be of interest to know that even the Journal of Artherosclerosis has linked homogenized dairy to heart disease. It's infuriating to stumble across these articles and studies, take it out of your diet and feel better within days. Just like gluten for most of us. There are times when I wonder who the heck is designing our food pyramid as it's all messed up! lol!! And why are these studies never brought to light?

OKay, I have eaten almost an entire boxed os SHREDED WHEAT in the past 24 hours. If I had celiac disease I should be dead (okay... but would prbly rather be dead LOL). But I still have no symptons. I will have to get more wheat on my monday trip too food store, but its looking like Im jsut dairy intorlent. I fould a page that lists the symptons of dariy and celiac disease side by side, and they are almost identical.

Bah. I rather be gluten intolerent... ah well. :(

I think if I were in your shoes (and I may be in a similar situation someday) I would proceed with caution since the symptoms could develop over time. Its weird how these intolerances work but I dont think everyone would experience an immediate reaction from gluten...it could build up. Someone with a casein intolerance (I think Mango04??) recently posted that after alot of years dairy free she introduced some dairy...felt fine for a few weeks...then wham...symptoms came back. It would be great if you dont have to worry about gluten but just keep it in the back of your head in case symptoms start to slowly reappear.

Well its not like I will be getting alot of gluten in my diet since the house is gluten-free for my toddler's sake to begin with. Just testing to know if I am out some place.... no gonna hve to learn all the things to be wary of for dairy. Alreadly learned that "NON DARIY CREAMER" is a flipping lie. :(

Mr J Rookie
.......... Just testing to know if I am out some place.... no gonna hve to learn all the things to be wary of for dairy. Alreadly learned that "NON DARIY CREAMER" is a flipping lie. :(

yeah, bloody ridiculous isn't it that products that advertise themselves as non-dairy have written in their ingredient list "SODIUM CASEINATE (A MILK DERIVATIVE) **" where "**" is "Not a source of Lactose" - thats really contradicting the "... IS A NON-DAIRY, LACTOSE FREE, and CHOLESTEROL FREE CREAMER" which is much more prominently displayed on the packaging.

anyway i was replying to say that i have the opposite situation to you VydorScope, enterolab have shown my anti-bodies to be well over the threshold, forget the exact numbers but similar figures for both casein and gluten anti-bodies. actually enterolab are a bit vague regarding the concept of "well over the threshold" and talk about being either over or under as definitive yet mention that just under might be worth diet challenging for intolerance too.

just ran off track of my post again. what I mean by the opposite situation is that i've been completely unable to prove that the casein causes me any digestive distress or other forms of distress eg mental from the opiate effect of those caso-morphin peptides.

i have no doubt that gluten is bad for me. not only did the previously paralysed smooth muscle of my stomach incredibly re-awaken after going absolutely gluten free, but the allergic flow from my nose which would constantly drip when excercising or outdoors in cool weather stop, but I seemed to benefit mentally too...didn't get stressed so easily, life sort of just became more relaxing.

i was fairly systematic and eradicated gluten before dairy - about 2 months of gluten-free but not CF. i showed slow improvement in the symptoms i just mentioned. I then went CF, working all the hidden dairy out diet - including the non-dairy-dairy stuff, my slow improvement continued without any spectular improvement which i was hoping for. by slow improvement i mean really slow improvement, my system is still far from well. Anyway i managed about 4 months or so of CF but a month ago re-introduced dairy - reason for re-introduction? prolly caso-morphin addiction :D

again no perceptible change other than a further micro improvement shift from the plateau i was on. example of improvement is that i am now able to process approx 1/2 oz more protein per day - weigh everything on electronic scales, thats how i know.

no return of my nose allergies, no digestive distress, no constipation (altho i do take a daily herb for that), nothing at all, since the dairy re-introduction. although admitedly objectively monitoring my state of mind is difficult regarding the opiate effect, but my wife hasn't mentioned anything to me, so i assume its still on an even keel.

dairy re-introduction has taken the form of 3 times per week, ingesting 3 3/4 oz of goat milk, 3 oz of goat yoghurt and < 1/2 oz of goat cheese. first 2 figures electronically weighed, but cheese estimated (i do allow myself some slack where i believe i can get away with it, but in general i have to get everything exactly right or risk digestive distress, or neurotic worry of impending distress)

i'm stil abslutely cow dairy free. i know that goat milk is very similar to cows milk whose peptides are similar to gluto/gliadin peptides but practical experience is so far telling me otherwise.

edit--> forgot to say cheers

cheers,

That's interesting Mike. I wonder if you would react to cow dairy? I'm Enterolab certified gluten/casein intolerant (plus soy/yeast) and I get awful and immediate symptoms from all of them. I've heard of Gluten-free Casein-free people being able to tolerate goat milk much better than cow milk. I've never liked milk anyway, but there's certainly room in my heart (and fridge) for a cheese alternative. If I could tolerate goat dairy that would be awesome.

Hey Vincent, I'm just wondering if you'll leave us if you are "only" dairy intolerant? Will we have to look for you someplace like Casein.com?

i gave cow yoghurt a brief test about 2 months in to my CF free diet (too early according to some online advice i've seen), no immediate reaction, but then i don't immediately react to anything - my worst moment was when micro amounts of gluten consumed over a period of about a week shut down my stomach smooth muscle function - left me bewildered as to what had gone wrong, and took another nerve wracking week to slowly start functioning again.

direct comparisons are dangerous coz we are all different, but all we can do is post our experiences here and try and get a feel for where we fit in to the melting pot. but the information from this msg board is so much better than theory alone. What i like about it is its quite a cosmopolitan place. many of us aren't even diagnosed celiacs but some other variation of peptide poisoning. I don't have the genetics for flattened villi and the gastro specialist who looked at my intestine via the scope reckons he "can kind of tell" without a biopsy.

cheers,

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
