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????

tarnalberry Community Regular

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.

What is enterolab????

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.

      I get canker sores one hour after eating Oats, and pimples in my butt.

      Body dysmorphia experience. When I was at the worst of my gluten problem I use to get chronic constipation; I would spend long time sitting on the toilet. One day as I was tired of sitting, I rested my head on my hands and my elbows on my knees, as soon as I felt the pressure of my elbows on my knees the perception of my body changed to that of a tarantula; I visualized and it felt real. The perception went away as soon as I removed the pressure on my knees, I deducted that the pressure of my elbows on the knees caused the sensation, so I repeated the position and the sensation of having the body of a tarantula happened each time. I have not had that experience since then because I started a gluten-free diet short after. I wonder if those people that look distorted to themselves in the mirror could have something similar but with the responsible sensory contacts located on their feet. I want to document this experience because it might help some research or others, it sounds crazy but I feel the right thing to do is to share it.

      Get tested for vitamin deficiencies.  Though neuropathy can be a symptom of celiac, it can also be caused by deficiencies due to poor digestion caused by celiac and could be easier to treat.

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes
