Dairy Now Too?!

So, Tuesday night, I took some Excedrine on an empty stomach. Bad idea because I can be sensitive to caffiene... I had horrible stomach cramps and nausea for the rest of the day and all day Wednesday. I made a pizza for dinner Wednesday night and felt like I had been glutened a few hours later. I blamed it on the pepperoni... Thursday night, I made another pizza (because I could just leave everything at work and not forget it in my car) and skipped the pepperoni. I felt even worse Thursday night and Friday morning. I even left school early because of the fatigue, muscle cramps, and severe stomach cramps... I didn't connect all of this to dairy until this AM when I had a glass of milk and some almonds for a snack... I have spent all day with really bad stomach cramps and nausea and had no one to cover for me at work... So, I'm thinking it must have been the dairy... But can dairy problems cause the fatigue and stuff too? Or could all of this just be from the excedrine still and will go away after a couple of weeks? :unsure: I don't want to go dairy free too... I like milk... :(

Mandy,

If you really suspect the excedrin then try dairy again next week and see if you feel the same.

It would probably be best to cut out all dairy for 2-6 months and then reintroduce it and see how you feel. It may be that you would be able to have small amounts but not every day.

I'm sorry you're feeling lousy. :(

I'm a milk lover, but I had to lay off it for a couple of months in the beginning. So give it a try and see if you feel better. :)

I had to eliminate dairy, have been for about 3 1/2 years. Dont matter how careful I eliminate dairy, I'm still quote sensative to it, and the last time I used normal milk, even just a bit, I still nearly threw up

Hopefully if you eliminate it tho, it'll work for ya!

Many people with celiac disease are temporarily lactose intolerant until their villi heal. The enzymes that break down lactose are located at the tips of the villi and when some of them are blunted from gluten, lactose sometimes gets through, causing problems. Maybe try taking lacaid with dairy?

While I had to give up dairy, I found nightshades give me severe muscle and nerve problems. If I where to eat a pizza crust made with any potato flour/starch, that would do me in for weeks. Not to mention the tomatoes are also a nightshade, so I don't see a pizza in my future for quite some time :angry: The proteins in dairy (mostly the casein I think) seems to add to it, but on it's own it takes more to effect me, and the symptoms aren't exactly the same.

So in your case it could be the dairy, or some other ingredient in the pizza. Maybe the flour was contaminated too. By any chance was it Bob's Red Mill? It seems many (but not all) on this board find cross-contamination issues with that. Was the cheese the same as usual?

Like you say though, the Excedrin may still be a lingering factor. I think the suggestion of waiting and testing again is a good one. You could also make some of the crust and eat it plain, and see how that goes, but the CC issue might still remain unknown. If the medication put the dairy or whatever over your limit, then I'd say you are basically skating on thin ice by eating it anyway. So it might be a good idea to limit (or eliminate) consumption of it for a few months, whatever the "it" turns out to be.

Maybe goat's milk, cheese or yogurt could be tolerated??

      Gluten intolerance and coughing fitsfits

      I read with interest someone's article regarding gluten and coughing and how drs could not diagnose the cause. I am a prediabetic and in the process of cutting down on carbs I slowly eliminated bread and added more complex carbs and found that my cough had gone and I was feeling generally calmer and happier. This was an accidental finding and I...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      So I have the Benfo, Thiamax, and Neuromag along with my Super B Complex. When I read the labels it says take 3/take 4 times a day but one pill a day is ok correct since its 4 pills at breakfast.

However, the test we used should not be used as the initial screening test for celiac (like it appears they did) because it misses a lot of cases ("low specificity"). No further testing is scheduled or pending" We eat "gluten" and our bodies digest part of it into "deamidated gliadin" (GLIADIN (DEAMID)). The gliadin is what actually triggers the Celiac disease pathway. The celiac's immune system sees gliadin much like an invading virus, and makes antibodies (AB) against gliadin. Each antibody has the ability to recognize a specific target (anti-gliadin antibodies recognize gliadin). When antibodies find their specific target, they stick to it and call in other parts of the immune system to help eliminate the target. This process also causes the immune system to make a lot more of that antibody, and your test was designed to measure if there was an elevated level of type A (IgA) anti-gliadin antibodies. Antibodies, which are also called immunoglobulins (Ig), come in different types (e.g. class "A" or "G"). Think of antibodies as different kinds of cars, and antibody types as different colors of car. An "A" type (color) is called IgA, and a G type is called IgG. IgA's are more relevant to Celiac disease than are the IgG's or other types. Unfortunately, some people don't make very much of the IgA class (like not making aqua-colored cars, even though they make the same cars in green) and that's a common reason for the gliadin-Ab-IgA test to fail to identify celiac. As Trents wrote, they should have given her a "total IgA" test and probably tested her for the anti-tTG IgA antibody.

      Hi @tiffanygosci Well done for reaching out,  fantastic you have found this forum. It sounds like you are managing the diet well, it can be overwhelming at first, but it will get easier.     I wonder if you have seen the short film 'Glutened'? - someone shared it on this forum a few months ago and it reminded me of how isolating it can be, particularly at first, when you don't know anyone with celiac disease.  *see link for film below. I realise now how blessed I was that when I was diagnosed two friends were also diagnosed around the same time, as we shared a lot of tips and recipes at the start.   Since then the number of people I know diagnosed with coeliac disease has grown and grown, there seems to be a much greater awareness of it among healthcare professionals and the public, at least this side of the Atlantic (I'm British).  I think in time you may find this, too. That said, those two coeliac buddies were 'straightforward' cases who seemed to recover very quickly when on a gluten-free diet - I struggled for some time.  So I found that I spent much more time discussing things with this online coeliac family. If you have any more questions, we're here for you.  I hope your event on 15th goes well.  Sounds like a good start!  I like you am not keen on Facebook, but perhaps setting up an account short-term might help? * https://vimeo.com/486284734 Cristiana
