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!

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
