I had DD results come back the other day saying that she's not allergic to dairy. It says that Class 1 she's allergic to egg whites and beef. Class 2 she is allergic to diff. fruits and veggies. I still say that dairy is an issue. I don't agree w/the test. Also she's not lactose intolerant. She has been off of dairy for over a month now even b4 taking the test.

Do you know if that'll give a false result in the test if she hasn't had that particular food/dairy??????

Thanks.

BTW, she bloats and is gassy everytime she drinks or eats dairy. You can't tell me that dairy isn't an issue. Do these tests really work? Oh yeah, wheat didn't even show up. What's up with that?

Wheat didn't show up because celiac isn't an allergy. It's an autoimmune intolerance and stirs up different types of antibodies from allergies.

She may be lactose intolerant because her villi are still damaged from the celiac, and lactase (the enzyme that digests lactose) is produced on the tips of the villi. That would cause the gas and bloating after having dairy.

I know for gluten, the allergy test is different than the intolerance test. I would imagine it's the same with dairy. I was tested for casein intolerance by Enterolab. I get similar symptoms when I consume casein as I do when I consume gluten.

Well, I'm keeping her off of dairy. I will diagnose her myself. Thanks.

Bloating and gas is what lactose intolerance does to me, which won't show in an allergy test. For me, casein intolerance give me different symptoms, which have only come on recently.

My daughter is *allergic* to wheat and dairy. And, she's gluten intolerant.

Lactose intolerance is not the same as a dairy allergy. And, an intolerance won't show up on an allergy test.

DD had a lactose test and is not intolerant to it. She's clear of being allergic to lactose, dairy and caesin. She had the breath test for lactose 3 wks. ago and the blood test for dairy!

I am quite lactose intolerant, sometimes even reacting to Lactaid milk or dairy products taken along with Lactaid pills. I'm doing Enterolab testing and am now gluten-free so I should find out soon if the lactose intolerance is actually a casein intolerance, or if it's just a side effect of celiac disease.

However, I've been lactose intolerant since childhood and I NEVER come up as allergic to ANYTHING (including wheat and dairy, which make me so sick... and cat dander, which gives me horrible asthma attacks!) on standard blood and skin tests done at an allergists' office.

If there's one thign I'm learning from these boards, it's that our bodies are more complicated than I ever new, and that many, if not most, doctors don't know their feet from their head when it comes to food allergies!

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think going back to your GI isn't a bad idea - my visits to the GI did not stop following my diagnosis as I had annoying issues on and off for some time.  Thankfully he is a fantastic GI, with  a great sense of humour, so it wasn't a chore to see him again although I'd rather not have had to, obviously!  But I needed my mind to be put at rest as my symptoms didn't seem to go away overnight as I'd hoped they would.  Initially I recall he recommended I went Dairy Free for three weeks, and he told me it would take that time to see an effect.  At that time, even lactose free milk went straight through me, so it is important, I would say, to even avoid that during a Dairy Free trial. My ongoing symptoms were bloating which did respond a bit to that trial.   However, within about 18 months there was a return to a very sore stomach, plus various aches and pains.   It turned out some gluten was sneaking in with my iron supplement (I was buying Floradix instead of Floravital), but I also think the dishwasher, the oven and eating out were contributors, too. Before my numbers normalised (from memory, about eight years!) I had several follow up appointments and a few more tests, but things gradually did get better.  Having read many accounts on this forum over the years, I don't think it is uncommon for symptoms to get a bit worse before getting better, that was certainly the case with me.  Your gut is damaged so you may well have issues digesting other food in the short term. But do try to be as scrupulously gluten free as you can possibly be as a first step, and I'd definitely try a three week Dairy Free trial.   Your villi because they are damaged are not able to create the lactase required to digest dairy at this time so you may well see some improvement if you come off dairy for a while.  Perhaps keeping a food diary of what you eat, where you eat it, whilst a bit onerous to do, will help identify foods that are causing issues.  For a while, apart from oats, I found peas, lentils and soya products hugely aggravating.  Things should calm down.

      Thankfully those are normal. B12 was on the low end of the normal range when I first got diagnosed. When I last got it checked, it had come up a lot (455 last time checked).

      mystery gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  I didn't notice any gluten ingredients in Kirkland Almond non-dairy beverage, however it does contain Locust Bean Gum. Some gums may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:

      Have you had B12 levels checked?

      For the past few months, I've been taking several supplements (a multi-vitamin, an iron supplement, a vitamin C supplement, and a magnesium supplement), all of which state that they are gluten free on the label.
