Dairy

Ok, so for way long before the whole gluten-free thing, I've always been lactose sensitive. In that if I eat a bowl of ice cream and drink a glass of milk, I'm probably going to get D. But dairy in general doesn't seem to bother me (I can most certainly but cheese on things, glass of milk here and there, bowl of ice cream now and then...just not all at once).

Last nite I ate a bowl of some insanely delicious super chocolately ice cream. (I also drank a glass and a half of milke yesterday.) And now today I am not feelin' so good. I've been playing with the idea of cutting out dairy for a month or two since going gluten-free because apparently dairy is hard to digest when you've damaged your intenstines for the past 24 years. Either way, it's been two months and I still feel kinda crappy in general. So there's obviously something going on yet, whether it be another sensitivity or unintentional glutening through ignorance.

So here's my question(s):

Should I cut out dairy?

And if so, how strict do I need to be?

Cheese has never bothered me. I'm originally from Wisconsin, and if I stop eating cheese, I may never be allowed back in the state to visit my parents. Also, I might lose my mind.

What if I just stop drinking milk and eating ice cream for a month or two, but continue to put cheese on things (beans and rice would just suck without any monterey jack...)?

You could try that.

I went dairy free, almost, after a month of being gluten free because it was clear that dairy was giving me a problem, in my case bloating, C and irritability. I have eaten it a few times since then thinking MAYBE it has been long enough and I have found out every time that it is a no. I find it funny to say but I don't really miss it and I loved cheese. Smoked applewood cheddar from the deli down the street comes to mind, I tried to talk my husband into buying some just so I could have it in the house. :lol: Some people tolerate goat cheese a little better.

Does this mean I should cross Wisconsin off my places to see? :)

I had to give up dairy initially, but after six months I was able to reintroduce it... although with my fibromyalgia symptoms still lingering, it has been suggested that I eliminate dairy and soy again. I don't want to.

Yay Rinne! You gave the right answer.

I will start by cutting out the blatant over-use of dairy. But not the highly delicous complimentary ingredient that gets all melty and stringy.

I've found that I don't miss a lot of things. Breads and pastas, mostly. And the only time I ever crave anything is when someone has it sitting in front of me. Like a pizza. Or a toasty sandwich with melted CHEESE on it.

Like yesterday I was in a gas station/Subway. And it smelled SO GOOD. The line was like 15 people long, and I was fine with waiting. I could've stood there and just smelled the air for hours. YUM.

And the great state of Wisconsin would probably still love to have you come visit. One little bite won't hurt (haha....people say that to me about gluten. Yes. Yes it will.)

I'd definitely go dairy-free awhile to find out if it's a problem. You should eliminate it entirely - that's the best (if not the only) way to get results. It was for me, as with so many here. I didn't want to give it up either, but in actuality you don't have to. There are non-dairy cheeses you can use, though be sure to check the ingredients since many have casein (the primary milk protein). If you tolerate casein but not lactose, then you'll have more choices for alternatives. I just don't eat cheese anymore, and I don't crave it either. It seems our bodies often develop chemical addictions to substances we shouldn't be ingesting in the first place. I do plan on making some pizza one of these days though, but when I do it will be with a non-dairy cheese. Here's one example product: Open Original Shared Link

I did read a recent post saying that hard cheeses were ok with them, but not various other dairy products. I haven't gone digging for answers on how or why this might be so.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
