Gluten And Dairy Free?

Hey all, I'm new at all this and still trying to figure it all out. I am currently trying to figure out if it's the gluten or the dairy that's giving me problems. Do they often go together? I'm still waiting for test results to see if anything comes back positive...

Yes.

Lactose (milk-sugar) intolerance *often* accompanies celiac disease in the first months of treatment, as the enzyme to break down lactose is produced at the tips of the villi that are damaged by the gluten intolerance.

Some celiacs also have trouble with casein (milk-protein) as well, which will not go away after a few months as the intestines heal. You can test this one with a low-lactose milk product and lactaid as a challenge, outside of blood testing.

Yes they do. I gave up dairy for a year (a very long year!), and then slowly worked it back into my diet. I can tell when I've gone overboard (gas) but now i have it almost every day.

I just want to give you another point of view. I never gave up dairy when I went gluten free. I have had some constipation problems, and I wonder if that was why. But other than that, I am ok. I have read that when the "gut" heals from the gluten-damage, then people who have casien problems can handle it better, so I always thought I would be fine. And I feel ok. Just wanted to share that incase you are stressing over being "gluten-free/cf" like I was at first.

But if it bothers you, then don't have it. I just didn't feel like it bothered me.

So far I haven't been very successful at staying both gluten-free and df...all the foods that I love seem to be one or the other! I am trying very hard to stay df for now and keep eating the gluten since I haven't had the full round of tests yet. I keep reading that you need to be consuming gluten for it to show up on the tests, so I am eating it and am waiting to schedule an endoscopy. The dr thinks that I have IBS, so I don't know when that will happen. Colonoscopy is this week. I was gluten and dairy free for about 2 weeks before Christmas, and felt like a new person. I can't decide if I'm feeling icky right now from eating gluten or just from the stress of it all...

You know, until I went gluten-free and DF (well since I am a chocolate lover too, 85% DF :rolleyes: ) I didn't ever quite feel right. I now follow strictly (again, except for the occassional chocolate or Snickers bar) a Paleolithic Diet.... it is similar to protein diets, but made more sense to me. I follow Cordain's version, but I am going to switch to Protein Power by the Edes.... I just have all the energy in the world, and except for the rare times I get CC'd by some food, or don't read the label right, I haven't been sick like I use to since early 2006!!! Amazing with these results, but it isn't easy to follow. After about a good week on it you can fend off the carbs (dairy, etc) and feel good.... Good luck!

You know there are dairy-free chocolates out there! They are more expensive, but they do exist. Also, I have made several dairy-free chocolate desserts in the past few weeks that are quite delicious. Happy to share if you need more info!

Dark chocolates are often dairy free (always check the label), and TerraCotta and TraderJoes both make milk chocolates with rice milk that are dairy and gluten free.

Since gluten can mess up your intestine sooo much it is hard to tolerate dairy right away on the gluten free diet. However, some people seem okay with it.

On the other hand some people have problems with dairy and not gluten. (lactose intolerant, casein intolerant, or just plain allergic) So what I would do is elliminate one or the other and see what happens with your symptoms, if they improve or not. Sometimes a diary helps to keep track of symptoms you are having so that you don't have to in your head. This is how I am figuring out my allergies. I am pretty sure it is that dastardly dairy that makes me break out in hives.

Try process of elimination and see what happens. What is there to lose? Not much, just symptoms.

Just a comment. I was having food issues and just assumed it was dairy, since that's a likely culprit, and sometimes I'd have issues after eating cheese (but not always).

I finally determined that it's not dairy, it's garlic! It was hard for me to separate since I frequently ate them together.

So sometimes the most obvious solution isn't the solution....

I gave up gluten and after about a month I ate a gluten-free cheese pizza that I made myself, and got very sick. I knew immediatly it was the cheese...gave up all dairy after that, and then had myself tested as I wasn't sure if it was lactose or casein that was my problem...unfortunatly for me it was casein so dairy's out for good...

      celiac disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      My only proof

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      celiac disease and braces

      By Anne G · Posted

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      By HAUS · Posted

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
