Hidden Casein


BamBam

I've been casein free since Valentine's Day and seem to be having a set back, not feeling as good as I should, so thought maybe I was getting something I shouldn't be. We went camping last month and cooked all of our own food. I did eat a bunch of rice flour goodies. If I overdo it, it seems like I get all bloated, gassy and even constipated some. There isn't much fiber or bulk to rice flour goodies.

I just didn't know if I should be watching out for certain foods that may have casein in them, stuff that I may not have thought about. I stay away from all coffee creamers, yogurt, milk/dairy products, chocolate etc.

Do you have an ingredient list like the one below, and ck labels for any suspicious ingredients? Do you always make sure they aren't using butter in restaurants when you go out?

Avoid the following milk-containing foods and ingredients:

Artificial butter flavor

Butter, butter fat, buttermilk

Casein - milk protein

Caseinates (ammonium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium)

Cheese, cottage cheese, curds

Cream

Custard, pudding

Ghee - clarified butter

Half and Half®

Hydrolysates (casein, milk protein, protein, whey, whey protein)

Lactoglobulin

Lactose - sugar in milk

Milk (derivative, protein, solids, malted, condensed, evaporated, dry, whole, low fat, non fat, skim, and LactaidTM Milk)

Non dairy creamer (check for casein)

Nougat

Rennet - used to curdle milk (may contain whey)

Sour cream

Sour cream solids

Whey - milk protein (delactosed, demineralized, protein concentrate)

Yogurt

Be careful when choosing the following foods or ingredients because they may contain milk:

Brown sugar flavoring

Caramel flavoring

Chocolate

High protein flour (protein source could be skim milk powder)

Lactic acid starter culture

Margarine (may contain whey)

Natural flavoring

Simplesse® (could be made from eggs or milk protein)

Don't worry about eating foods with the following ingredients. They do not contain milk:

Calcium lactate

Calcium stearoyl lactylate

Cocoa butter

Cream of tartar

Lactic acid

Oleoresin

Sodium lactate

Sodium stearoyl lactylate

I might be beating a dead horse with this, but I have major problems if I eat things with too much fat in them. If you have a problem digesting fats, how much is too much will depend on your tolerance. As a general rule of thumb, I can eat no more than 25% of my calories from fat at any given meal (and thus, throughout the day). Any more at all makes me bloated and gives me pain spasms that last for days.

Could that be a problem? Almost all gluten-free baked goods have too much fat in them for me to even look at. :angry:

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
