Over the past few days I've been CRAVING dairy. I have been eating 1 cup yogurt for breakfast, 1 cup lowfat cottage cheese with lunch, and at least 2 glasses of milk/day. I constantly think about milk. It's so weird. What do u think this means?

The only thing this would naturally mean to me, would be lack of dairy. I had this same problem after my son was born 5 years ago. I couldn't tolerate milk when i was pregnant...it would give me horrible burning stomach pains and then i would throw it up...ewwwwww...yuck!! Anyway, the day he was born i remember literally smuggling and drinking carton of milk, after carton of milk out of the "help yourself room" at the hospital. I couldn't get enough milk...it was insane!!

If you are not getting ill effects from the dairy I would think your body is wanting calcium. You consumption is not out of line, most of us should have at least this much in our diet and if you are not reacting enjoy.

If you are not intolerant, I say enjoy it! It could be the nutrients in it that your body craves, or it could be the creamy consistency of it that you are wanting. There are much worse things in life to crave than milk, cottage cheese, and yogurt!

I have read that anytime you crave something and eat it daily you should suspect and allergy/intolerance. I'd stay away from it for two weeks, then eat it again. If it doesn't bother you at all, then enjoy!! I used to crave dairy and ate it all the time; I'm casein intolerant -- I didn't think it was making me sick, it was only getting away from it for a while that confirmed what the tests showed, that it was making me sick.

I agree with Carla. My son craves dairy, and NEEDS it all the time, but it makes him to be in a bad mood, or hyper, it's never good. He won't believe me, unfortunately. My youngest daughter will sneak milk products when they're in the house, but they'll make her throw up, and she has been tested intolerant to all dairy.

I used to crave potatoes and rye bread, couldn't get enough of them, thought I couldn't live without them. But I am very intolerant to both!

Dairy doesn't give you ANY usable calcium at all. In fact, it leaches calcium from your body. It's a myth made up by the dairy industry that you should drink milk for calcium. You'll get it from green, leafy vegetables (just like the cows get it from green grass, not milk, for their strong bones).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
