Casein

If you're intolerant to casein, what do you look for on lables to know if casein is in the food? I've never seen casein, so is it hidden or under another name?

Well, if it says something like 'milk ingredients' or 'modified milk ingredients', or skim milk powder, or really anything that says 'milk' or 'dairy'. I am not sure it actually ever says 'casein'. And you avoid anything you KNOW is made from milk, like any kind of cheese, yogourt, milk, butter (except for ghee, it is safe I believe), cream etc. And that should cover it (well, it won't be easy, but that's another thing).

Double check ingredients on popcorn, chips, candy, margerine, gluten-free products, hot dogs, salad dressings, wine ect.

Also stay away from whey.

Casein can appear in products as sodium caseinate. Examples include some coffee creamers such as Coffee Mate. I believe under the new US labelling law the work "milk" must now also appear on products in the US.

ok thanks. I really hope I'm not allergic to casein. I'd be more limited and eating would be twice as hard. =(

We need tarnalberry, I think it was her, she posted an awsome link some time back that listed everything casein was in, the obvious and not so obvious- and I forgot to bookmark it :(

This is a site I found that has lots of the hidden names.

Yes, going cf is very hard! I'm one month in and still miss it a lot. But I'm feeling better so I am motivated to keep on. I was tested with enterolab and found to be gluten/casein intolerant.

I was happy to find clarified butter (ghee) at the healthfood store is cf. I couldn't live without butter!

What is enterolab????

that's a good list - and with the allergen labeling laws, you'll start seeing it listed more plainly.

going CF, I think, is more difficult than gluten-free - primarily because I like yogurt and cheese more, and there are not decent substitutions. (soy yogurt's not the same, and I don't like having too much soy.) but you can do it so long as you choose to.

Enterolab (www.enterolab.com) is a site that you can send a stool sample and mouth swab to and they can tell you if you are having an autoimmune response to certain foods, or if you carry the main celiac genes. It can help you find out if you are celiac or gluten, casein intolerant and other foods.

Many people on this site have used it and this site is where I found out about it.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
