For Those With A Casein Sensitivity...

not yesterday, but the day before, i had some lunch and accidently used a product with a hidden milk ingredient. i realized it soon after, and it sucks, but hey, it happens!

anyway, this morning i all of a sudden felt really, really poorly. had the worst poop, and am brain fog central. i didn't directly consume anything that could be cross-contaminated (just had some fruit so far)... could this be 'left over' from the casein? just curious if anyone has had a delayed reaction from that.

thank you.

Yep, I get delayed reactions from casein all the time. In fact, I generally react about two or three days later. Hope you feel better. Getting caseined is no fun <_<

My casein reaction usually starts about 2-4 hours after ingesting it. Sometimes, if it was late at night that I ate it the reaction wouldn't start until early mornin, like 4 or 5 am.

A lot of my reactions (to just about anything) are delayed! That's one of the reasons it so darned hard for me to figure out exactly what I'm reacting to sometimes.

thanks everyone.

i had felt it immediately, but then today it came at full blast. i wanted to make sure i didn't do another mistake, but i'm so positive i didn't that it must have been delayed.

thanks for your replies!

I'm pretty allergic so my reaction starts as soon as I come in contact with milk. I get wheezy, my throat tightens up, I have trouble breathing, my airways swell, Hives, facial swelling, tongue swelling. Drop in blood pressure. That's when I have to go to the hospital. I end up with a stomach ache, reflux, swollen esophagus and asthma for up to a month after exposure. Bloody diarrhea, and the worst eczema you can imagine on my hands and feet, and genitals. I also get that foggy, high feeling in my head, but that doesn't last long and is normally caused by a release of endorphines to help ease the pain and stress of anaphelectic shock.

My main delayed reaction is the eczema. I don't understand why brain fog happens with delayed reaction, but it does happen. Maybe it is some kind of coping mechanism for your body to deal with repairing the damage or something.

I used to get the brain fog too...but curiously, once I gave up dairy I never had it again. So I am beginning to think that my brain fog was based on casein, not gluten issues (as I had originally assumed).

I get the immediate sore throat, few hours later-D, then for a couple of days -brain fog. Casein seems to be just as bad as gluten for me too. Something I found that helps the brain fog is kind of weird, but anything peppermint, menthol, etc. I have bath salts with peppermint , drink mint tea, use a olba menthol natural nasal inhaler, even rub vicks all over!! It helps for me, maybe it will help someone else. (I don't usually do all that at the same time!) :) It's temporary, but helps me focus enough to at least cook dinner or carry on a conversation. :blink:

jenvan,

i think so, too.

one day, i got caseined and glutened (what weird phrases, eh?) in the same meal. i know what both of the products were, and as SOON as i had the casein (which was before the gluten), i got the brain fog. i also get jell-o legs from casein immediately, too.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
