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.

      @catnapt, I'm sorry you're having such a rough time. How much wheat germ and how much gluten were you eating? Lectins in beans can be broken down by pressure cooking them. Do you pressure cook your beans? Were you pressure cooking your wheat germ? What drugs are you taking? Some immunosuppressive drugs affect IgA production. Do...

      oops my gluten challenge was only 12 days It started Jan 21s and ended Feb 1st worst 12 days of my life Does not help that I also started on a thiazide-like drug for rule in/out renal calcium leak at the exact same time No clue if that could have been symptoms worse 🤔

      so do you have celiac or not? 🤔 why are your vision issues undiagnosed? 😢 what does your ophthalmologist say?  do you have a serious vit A deficiency? what do you take for it? how long have you had celiac disease and how long did  it take to get a diagnosis?   if you are legally blind there are adaptive devices that will help you. I have vision difficulties as well but did not qualify (at least not yet)   do you have a vit A deficiency? why are you undiagnosed? what does your ophthalmologist say? I have a retinal specialist and he tells me my eye condition can not be fixed- until/unless it gets to the point of where surgery is safer since the surgery can leave me actually blind... so you want to wait til it gets really bad 🤪     I hope you find what works for you.    PS   the medication I started at the same time as the gluten challenge is obvious from the condition it's trying to treat. you can google it 😉 it is not an for any auto immune condition.

      during the gluten challenge I did not consume any wheat germ   the wheat germ is TOASTED - it's the only way it is sold now afiak doesn't matter I consume vast amounts of lectin containing foods PROPERLY prepared and have for well over a decade. They do not bother me in the least.    no anemia however the endo who ordered the celiac panel is the one who suggested the 2 week gluten challenge of eating at least 2 slices of bread per day or a serving of pasta- ALSO put me on a new drug at the same time (not a good idea)  I ate 4 slices because they were thin, or 2 English muffins, and just once some lasagna that someone else made since I stopped eating wheat pasta years ago. The English muffins caused some of the worst symptoms but that pc of lasagna almost killed me ( not literally but the pain was extreme) during those 12 days there were at least 3 times I considered going to Urgent Care.   This entire process was a waste of time TBH due to being on that new drug at the exact same time. it is impossible to tell if the drug I am taking for the possible renal calcium leak is working or not- given the dramatic response to the gluten challenge and resulting nausea (no vomiting) and eventually a loss of appetite and lower intake of foods so now I have a dangerously low potassium level   I don't have a simple case of celiac or no- I have an extremely complicated case with multiple variables I am seeing an endocrinologist for a problem with the calcium sensing glands - that system is very complicated and she has been unable to give me a firm diagnosis after many tests with confusing and often alarming results. She also appears to be inexperienced and unsure of herself. but I don't have the luxury of finding a new endo due to multiple issues of insurance, lack of drs in my area, money and transportation. so I'm stuck with her At least she hasn't given up    in any case I can assure you that lectins are not and never were the problem. I know they are a favorite villain in some circles to point to, but I have ZERO symptoms from my NORMAL diet which DOES NOT contain gluten. The longer I went without bread or foods with wheat like raisin bran cereal, the better I have felt. my body had been telling me for several years that wheat was the problem- or maybe specifically gluten, that remains to be seen- and stopping eating it was the best thing I could have done   I almost had unnecessary MAJOR SURGERY due to joint pain that I ONLY have if I am eating bread or related products I assumed it was the refined grains - never really suspected gluten but it does not matter I won't put that poison in my body ever again not that it is literally poison but it is def toxic to me
