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.

i did get the hives and chest tightness right away... just the poop and SUPER brain fog came today.

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.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.
    • Scott Adams
      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
