Casein Elimination Diet

Does anyone know how long is long enough for a casein elimination diet. Tried it on my son for 3 days. Day 1 he was better, but since Day 2, he still has stomachaches. If he's still gonna have the stomachache, should I just put him back on milk? Getting desperate! :(

takes me a week to get over the casein symptoms. it'll take him longer than that to get used to the change in food.

It might take at least 2-3 weeks until you see a change in your son's symptoms. Don't put him back on milk. Keep him CF for at least one month.

I reintroduced casein (via raw goat cheese) several months ago and it took me several weeks to get over the symptoms. I just don't think it leaves the body in a couple days.

One month CF is not as hard as it sounds. (heck, I've been doing it for over ten years! - minus that week I ate goat cheese) It's worth it to find out if this is the problem.

Good luck! I hope he feels better soon.

I would say try it for at least two weeks to one month. I keep trying to re-introduce cheese about every two months, but so far I have been unsuccessful. I guess I have to accept that I will probably never be able to eat dairy. You do get used to it, but you have to be a little creative.

I just started eliminating milk and eggs from my diet last week for my daughter and haven't seen much change yet except for her eczema getting a little better. I don't have her asking for it, though, so it's much easier on me.

have you tried to distract your son with df treats? I don't think I could make it without strawberry real fruit bars by breyers, enjoy life snickerdoodles, and the Cravings place brownies. I'm sure you've tried this, just trying to help.......

I'll be thinking of you and hope it gets better quickly if that is his issue.... Immediate results make things so much easier.

Hi,

Please be strong.We eliminated all diary.no milk no cheese ....and it gets better.My son is 13 years old so it was easy to explain.if you reduce sugar it helps a lot too.

my son had eczema and sinus problems for more than 10 years ,he could not sleep properly and was tired in the morning ,he was among the short children in his class,now he sleeps well,his eczema is gone and he is among the tallest.It is so funny that they make us believe if we do not give milk to our children they will not grow.after eliminating gluten and casein in his diet ,his life is really different.

your daughter is lucky that you come to this point while she is so young.

good luck elisabet

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
