Did My Dairy/fat Intolerance Return Or Am I Just Still Glutened?

Hi everyone,

I was dairy and fat intolerant until November, when I had absolutely no problems eating either again. I got glutened severely, practically every day, during the week surrounding Christmas. It typically takes about a week to get over a glutening and then I feel fine, but I'm still feeling pretty bad. I felt much better yesterday and now I feel badly again.

In the past week and a half, I've been eating Target's Market Pantry brand mozzarella and cottage cheese. The ingredients looked fine, but I (for whatever reason) never called to check. I didn't have cottage cheese or mozzarella on Tuesday or Wednesday. I felt much, much better Wednesday. I felt fine today until I ate both. Do you think I should stop eating all dairy and high fat items for a while in case my intolerances have returned (the thought of them returning makes me want to cry), or should I just abstain from the Target stuff?

My symptoms - severe, severe bloating and abdominal pain - aren't impossible to live with but I don't want to put up with them any longer than I have to.

:(

Elizabeth, I am sorry to say this, but it isn't like you don't really know already anyway. It appears that your dairy intolerance is back in full force. Eating cheese can't be worth getting sick all over again, when you had been feeling so well.

Plus, with all the many glutenings you had over the holidays, I expect that it will take a little longer to heal than the usual, as you must surely have more damage than you would get from just one little glutening.

Thanks Ursula. I feel back to normal today, so I'm guessing that it was a combination of not being quite healed and maybe a little bit of glutening from the Target brand stuff. I'm not really sure that stuff is gluten free and if it is, there may be some cc issues. I'm going to buy some cheese that I know is gluten-free and eat it this weekend. If I do fine, I'll probably assume that a) my dairy intolerance being back was related to the glutening, b ) the target cheese really does have gluten/cc issues or c) I was still healing from the glutening.

Thanks for your input!

I am glad you're feeling better. Good luck with the cheese!

      Hello. Do you mind saying what symptoms led the doctors to test for bacteria in your blood?

      So you you ate wheat products every single day for 50 years without a problem but then in the 90's you discovered that wheat was your problem. That's confusing to me. It seems contradictory. Did you have a problem or not?

      Gluten Sensitivity

      I spent my first 50 years eating wheat products every single day with no ill affects. Being a 6’2” Italian you can imagine what my diet was like and believe me I had an appetite that wouldn’t quit. In the 90’s once I discovered the wheat was my problem I avoided it and no longer had IBS. I seriously doubt I have celiac but I appreciate your input a...

      I would say two things and then I'm done. Many celiacs have been misdiagnosed for years with IBS. Testing for celiac disease requires regular and significant consumption of gluten for weeks/months in order to be valid.

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      Can the rest of your household eat the food with gluten instead of getting rid of it? Can you create one shelf, or partial shelf, for your new food in the pantry, in the fridge and in the cabinets as a start? My husband is not gluten free so we each have a cabinet, and separate shelves in the fridge. If we have to share space the gluten free foods...

I’ve been eating things I’ve longed for for decades and have never felt better.

My husband is not gluten free so we each have a cabinet, and separate shelves in the fridge. If we have to share space the gluten free foods go on the upper shelves so crumbs with gluten can’t fall onto them. Good luck!
