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.

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
