Milk Allergy Question

I know that some people are dairy/casein/milk/whatever intolerant after going gluten-free, but is it always a digestive reaction to it? I drank some milk earlier, and within maybe 10 minutes I started coughing deeply and my nose got stuffy. It passed within about 15 minutes. Has anyone ever had THAT kind of reaction instead of digestive? It just kinda freaked me out, but I don't really know if it was the milk or not. I haven't had a problem with it since going gluten-free 4 weeks ago, or ever in my life. It could have just been my allergies going haywire like they randomly do at times.

No, reactions to milk aren't always digestive, just as reactions to gluten aren't necessarily digestive, either. If I drink milk, I will get a lot of mucus and get breathing problems. One of my husband's cousins gets awful depression within a day if she drinks milk. My youngest daughter (14) gets incredibly hyper from it (but she will throw up from cheese). In fact, she will start bouncing off the walls, laughing hysterically for no reason at all and is generally uncontrollable when she eats ice cream (which she will do behind my back at her friend's houses, unfortunately). :blink:

A lot of people with celiac disease have temporary lactose intolerance until their villi heal. The enymes which break down lactose are located in the tips of the villi, so when they are damaged, lactose doesn't get digested properly and stomach problems usually occur.

Milk allergy is different from lactose intolerance and can be tested for by a skin prick test or a blood test. Your symptoms sound like milk allergy. Here is a link to help:

I have a casein intolerance. My symptoms are generally the same as with gluten, but I have a lot of systemic mucus when I have dairy as well. Casein intolerance is permanent like gluten intolerance. Lactose intolerance can be temporary due to damaged villi.

Like CarlaB, I am casein intolerant with symptoms that are similar to gluten intolerance, except also with casein my brain fog comes immediately, and I generally lose most feeling in my legs.

justme-

I had cut out lactose first, and realized soon after eating anything lactose free but not casein free, that it was casein. that is how i initially determined the difference. and because i cannot tolerate hard cheeses or yogurts (as most lactose intolerant people can). i have since re-tested casein and felt the same. it was trial and error for me.

I have a milk allergy (scratch test diagnosed). Um but it isn't very severe and I feel fine with a moderate amount of dairy in my diet. I don't drink milk, but I have ice cream occasionally and sometimes yogurt or cheese. Not often, though.

Sometimes my throat feels clogged after I have something with milk in it and I'll cough for awhile. I cough from other things too. My asthma seems to have gotten much worse and things like dust/mold in old houses and cigarette smoke cause a bad reaction (even with singulair). I cough and cough and cough. I wasn't like that before. My reaction to smoke and dust was just as bad when I avoided all milk products so I don't think it's making anything worse for me.

I had food allergy prick tests done last summer in addition to my regular inhalant prick tests, and the milk came out negative. Granted that was way before gluten-free, and I know things can change, but I don't think my coughing was a result of the milk. I've had a cough on and off for the past couple of weeks, and I've been coughing all day, so I think it was just coincidental (at least I hope so - I'll probably try milk again tomorrow). Apartment air and circulation is horrible.

my GI, internist, and allergist all said that prick tests for foods are only 50% effective. (not for environmental, that was 97% or similar).

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.
