Crappy Day....

I had a horrendous day. Not really gastointestinal symptoms, but I just felt tired, depressed, lethargic and really out of it. I would have attributed this to Gluten, if I had eaten any in the last couple days, which I hadn't. Only thing I did that was unusual was I pounded down a bunch of cottage cheese yesterday evening. One helping wasn't enough, so I had several more.

Could that have been it? I'm not familiar with casein or lactose intolerance, so I don't know what the symptoms are. Ah well, tomorrow is a new day!!

Could be Jerry. Everyone reacts differently. A lady I work with was tested for celiac disease because she had the severe stomach issues that many celiac's have, yet she is lactose intolerant. So, that could be your problem. Do you have problems with milk, cheeses, etc. When I first went gluten-free, I lived on cottage cheese and fruits, so I didn't have a problem with dairy then. Now, after 5 yrs, I am beginning to wonder. I do love my ice cream, yet after eating it, I cough and cough. Maybe it's something in the ice cream, I do not know, but I never had this reaction. I learn by trial and error.

Cottage cheese is VERY high in casein and low in lactose...

Also Jerry, I should have added this in the first post. Sometimes, as you are detoxing your body, you will have bad days, it just happens. It took you a very long time to get where you are, it does take a while to feel better. You think you feel good now, because you were so sick, yet it will only get better from here. :)

Jerry, FWIW, I get the "mood" symptoms from gluten just like you, and I also react the same way to casein.

You could test it by cutting out all dairy for a couple days and then having some, repeat a few times if necessary so you know it's not a coincidence.

Thanks for your responses. I did feel better on Sunday. I'm sending off my cheek swap specimens today to Enterolab. My doctor has ordered a Celiac panel for me. We will see;)

      You might look into wearing an N95 mask when others are creating baked goods with wheat flour in your environment.

      @trents thank you for that information. My parents feel that cooking flour in toaster isn't a thing as its already cooked product before made? but Airbourne particles is my fear. Like I have had symptoms from 6 meters away had to leave massive migraine.

      Yes, except for the most sensitive, cross contamination from airborne gluten should be minimal. Highly sensitive people may have nutritional deficiencies.  Many times their bodies are in a highly inflamed state from Celiac, with high levels of histamine and homocysteine.  Vitamins are needed to break down histamine released from immune cells like mast cells that get over stimulated and produce histamine at the least provocation as part of the immune response to gluten. This can last even after gluten exposure is ended.  Thiamine supplementation helps calm the mast cells.  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.  Other B vitamins and minerals are needed to correct the nutritional deficiencies that developed while the villi were damaged and not able to absorb nutrients.  The villi need vitamins and minerals to repair themselves and grow new villi. Focus on eating a nutritional dense, low inflammation diet, like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, and supplementing to correct dietary deficiencies.  Once your body has the vitamins and minerals needed, the body can begin healing itself.  You can have nutritional deficiencies even if blood tests say you have "normal" blood levels of vitamins.  Blood is a transport system carrying vitamins from the digestive system to organs and tissues.  Vitamins are used inside cells where they cannot be measured.   Please discuss with your doctor and dietician supplementing vitamins and minerals while trying to heal.

      Should not be a problem except for the most sensitive celiacs. The amount of gluten that would get in the air from cooking alone has got to be miniscule. I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods. Thinks like shared cooking surfaces and countertops. And what about that toaster you mentioned?

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.
