Crazy Idea Re: Casein Intolerance

I know this sounds crazy, but I am determined to try everything when it comes to cheese. I am eating a little piece of cheese everyday to see if I can build up a tolerance. Just so you know, I would never do this with gluten! I will keep you guys posted as to if my little experiment works.

It must be my science background coming out, sample size of one is pretty bad though. I'm convocating next week with a BSc degree. Yay me.

Yay for your degree! Good luck with the cheese. Can that really work?

I would think that if your doing this to try and build up a tolerance to similar proteins using sheeps and goats cheeses... and then add a little casein ...

just my 2c

Goats milk and sheeps milk both contain casein - even the forms of casein that are most highly prevalent in cows milk, though at a lower percentage. Still worth a try, but you're not avoiding casein that way. (You might also try buffalo milk cheese.)

It looks like I have no trouble eating goat's milk cheese, but sheep's milk cheese seems to bother me. Try goat's milk cheese. If it doesn't bother you, then just eat it instead.

oops sorry, i meant to be specific about cow casein since many people seem to have the issue with cow milk and not goat or sheep.

Summer is here and you have a selection from feta through goats cheeses in salads not to mention the buffalo mozerella ... and many sheep cheeses too ...

I am allergic to casein. But, I can eat hard cheddar goat cheese, but not the regular goat cheese. I don't remember who posted that the hard cheddar goat cheese does not have casein (Rachel?) But, I find that I can tolerate the hard cheddar. Of course I really have it very seldom, like maybe once a month.

I seem to have a mild allergy to all dairy except cheddar cheese. Don't know why that is, maybe because of the aging. I have added butter back into my diet though and will be using nonfat milk powder in recipes that call for it. Thinking this allergy (hoping) will go away since I'm on the gluten free diet now. I'm also allergic to goats milk but I didn't like that anyway.

Careful while you reintroduce that stuff. I did the same thing and was fine with it for a while...then out of the blue one day I had a crazy intense reaction and almost lost my ability to breathe. I don't think we really build up a tolerance. I think it just kind of builds up in our body until it starts to do harm again. That's what happened to me anyway.

Do you know what kind of goat cheddar? I thought the hard goat cheddar didn't have lactose. I tried hard goat cheddar and I had a cray casein reaction, but maybe I got the wrong kind.

Well, I'm still eating Kraft swiss cheese everyday and I haven't had a problem yet. It could be that possible that I'm not casein intolerant anymore. One can always hope.

I tried goats cheese in the past and I got quite sick from it. But I may be okay with it now.

I think it is because they make it from petroleum products, not milk. :P At least, that's how it always tasted to me!

Cheese is casein! Rennet or other enzymes are used to convert caseinogen, a protein in milk, to casein which is water insoluble, and then separates out as curds from the liquid (whey). The curds (or collected casein) is then pressed to form cheese.

Hard cheese is very low in lactose which is why it is sometimes more digestible.

Glad you started this thread. The gluten free diet is much easier for me than the dairy. I have wondered about maybe trying the fat-type dairy products that don't have as much protein like whipped cream, butter, and sour cream. I don't think I've healed enough to "rock the boat" yet, though. I am interested in your progress in this experiment. Keep us posted!! Congratulations on the degree too! :)

Casein is milk protein. Lactose is milk sugar. Most lactose drains away in the making of cheese, and the rest may go away in the aging of it, but casein is forever. Try it and see if it works for you.

I'm proud to say I've been dabbling w/ dairy for a little bit now and seem to be doing ok. I eat the garlic/basil goat cheese on Knickknick pizza - YUM! :P and I found a goat's milk cheddar (reminds me of a Vermont Sharp White Cheddar that's good too. I've had a little dairy (garlic mashed potatoes at a restaraunt) and a piece of American cheese on my eggs... forgotton how much I'd missed that!

Next step: real cheddar or maybe mozzerella... already drooling!

Casein is in all dairy. Lactose is very low or absent in hard cheeses. So if you eat hard cheese with no ill effects you may be only lactose intolerant.

It's been one year since I went gluten-free, so it could be that I have simply healed enough to handle cheese again. Time will tell, but so far so good. I'm not ready to try any other brand or type of cheese yet (just in case).

      Top Brands of Gluten-Free Canned Chili

      While it seems unlikely to contain intentional gluten ingredients--and based on the ingredients you provided, this canned Wendy's chili appears to be gluten-free, but with a very important caveat: it cannot be considered certified or guaranteed gluten-free due to the potential for cross-contamination and the ambiguous nature of "natural flavors."

      Top Brands of Gluten-Free Canned Chili

      I have same question as trents above. After I mentioned how much I liked Wendy's chili, a neighbor gave me a can b/c I didn't know could buy it in a can. Is gluten free in Wendy's restaurant, but can doesn't say gluten free so afraid to eat it. (Can says provides 50% Daily Value of protein, another plus.) Below are ingredients on can. Would the experts...

      Rectal pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      When I have had what I think are episodes of this (I've never had a formal diagnosis for PF) it seems to be triggered by bloating caused by something I've eaten - a friend had an episode of this after eating too many apples, for me corn and rice cakes seemed to give me IBS and trigger this.  I am not a medical person but it seemed like the extra pressure down there perhaps added pressure to already sensitised pelvic and rectal muscles. Coeliacs can suffer from bloating when they are first diagnosed due to the inability to digest food properly.  Lactose for me caused a lot of bloating and when I came off it temporarily after diagnosis it helped reduce bloating.  Iron supplements and the timing of taking them also caused discomfort and I had to experiment a bit with type and timing before my gut felt comfortable.   Maybe something to think about?   Some coeliacs suffer from constipation - again, just a thought, but perhaps if you had issues with that it might be a contributor.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      At a family wedding in Italy last year I was drinking gluten free Peroni which was fine for me. From the Daura Damn website ... " Our guarantee less than 3ppm: each batch is analyzed and certified by the CSIC using the R5 Competitive ELISA test before hitting the market. This way, we ensure that its gluten content is always below 3ppm "

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer  support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead are offering supplements for your symptoms. This has helped you but you are not able to work very much.  The Programs I have seen  online usually have 3 parts. The first is a Parasite cleanse. The 2nd is the Kidney cleanse and the  3rd is a Liver cleanse and gallbladder cleanse. You need to doall these cleanses to have your whole body functioning well. I can only reccommend the program I gave you because that is the one I used and still do. (drclark.net)  When I see a newprovider and tell I have Celiacs and they look skeptical I tell them that when I am gluttoned the reaction happens 8 or more hours later with intestinal painful cramping followed by diarrhea. Providers are willing to accept tha I probably have Celiacs and are more likely order tests such as vitamin levels. Is this what happens if you eat only a small amount of Gluten? You mentioned going to Mayors. 20 years ago many Dr.s wanted to include a celiac screening as a standard test so that more people eould diagnosed and not become disabled. It did not happen but the Federal levgislature did pass a law so that Celiacs could claim deductions for the gluten free food they bought. What were you going to ask the Mayors to do?

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thank you for all the excellent information. I moved from Wyoming to California. May be its where I am located but So far none of the Costco Kirkland brand I have looked at is labeled gluten free. Same with the Sam's Members Mark. The Kirkland nuts you mention all say they are processed in a plant that processes wheat.  I am going to keep checking. Thank you. The Azure Market looks promising 😁 Take care S
