Cheese?

Does anyone have a reaction to just cheese? not dairy, just cheese? I seem to get a bellyache after I eat cheese, no matter what kind. I thought ok, its a dairy issue, but then goat cheese bothered me too, and that isnt considered dairy in allergen terms. Could it be just too rich for me? or am I just deluding myself and its a dairy allergy?

Do you eat certain cheeses? Or is it all cheese?

Can one be allergic or sensitive to rennet, perhaps?

Assuming you don't drink whole milk, maybe it's the fat.

When I was narrowing down my reaction to dairy, I tried a soy cheese, which only had casein as a dairy ingredient. It still bothered me, so I knew from this it was more than just lactose.

hmmm, those both sound good lorka, shredded cheddar doesnt bother me, its the fuller body cheese, like brie, goat cheese.. those heavy cheeses, maybe it is the fat.. hmmmm.. now I be thinkin.. thanks

oh yeah lorka, thanks for that bread you gave us the recipe for, not only is it good, but it is helping my sons digestive system, I only have to give him three little squares a day, and his system works great, no constipation.. but of course he has to eat the whole slice.. but once in a while he will only take a few bites, but it works.. thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

i just wanted to add that goat cheese has casein, too. i forgot about that - i have to strictly stay away from all casein.

i hope your figure out what's bothering your belly. i make homemade cheese substitutes (even the non-dairy cheeses (the ones that are casein free, too) have fillers and rice (i'm allergic to rice) and i can't have them.

perhaps also taking a probiotic might help - do you?

you're welcome about the bread. that is really my aim here - to provide good, nutritious foods, in addition to tasting delightful, and able to adapt to free of all the higher allergens. i am so glad that your son has enjoyed it.

Cheeses are very high in Amines also if you want to consider that. These foods include dark chocolate, alot of fish and sausages. Amines are a result of protein breaking down. Therefore, aged orvercooked and processed meats are high in amines. Browning, grilling, charring will increase amine levels. Amines increase in ripening fruits that go soft, e.g. bananas, avocado.

I'll react to the overipe bananas, avocado and chocolate. My stomach can tolorate a certain level of the amines in cheese as long as the cheese isn't aged long.

      New issue

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly.   Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO?   Are you taking any Benfotiamine?  Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO.  Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By trents · Posted

      From my own experience and that of others who have tried to discontinue PPI use, I think your taper down plan is much too aggressive. It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound is real. If I were you I would aim at cutting back in weekly increments for two weeks at a time rather than daily increments. So, for instance, if you have been taking 2x20mg per day, the first week cut that down to 2x20mg for six days and 1x20 mg for the other day. Do that for two weeks and then cut down to 2x20mg for five days and 1x20 for two days. On the third week, go 20x2 for four days and 20x1 for 3 days. Give yourself a week to adjust for the reduced dosage rather than reducing it more each week. I hope this makes sense.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Talk to your doctor about switching to an antihistamine, and supplementing essential vitamins and minerals.  Dietary changes (low carb/paleo) may be beneficial for you.  Have you talked to a dietician or nutritionist about a nutrient dense gluten free diet?   It's harder to get all the vitamins needed from a gluten free diet.  Gluten containing products are required to be enriched or fortified with vitamins and minerals lost in processing.  Gluten free facsimile processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified.  So we have to buy our own vitamin supplements.   Glad to be of help.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      I’m pretty sure they do. I have been on myfortic, tacrolimus since 2021 for my liver transplant and added prednisone after kidney transplant.  I’m going to try to cut back omeprazole to 20 mg a day and then after a week try to stop altogether. Thank you for your help.
