Test For Dairy Allergy?


Jerri Ward

Recommended Posts

Jerri Ward Apprentice

Is there a test that you can take to find out if you are allergic to dairy? My brother was diagnosed with Celiac a month before and I was and I think he may be allergic to dairy. He doesn't want to give up dairy, because that is about all that he has left, so I was wondering if there was a test he could take to find out if that is in fact was is causing some of his problems. Thanks.

There are some tests, though I don't have any specifics.

Thing is, if he's simply sensitive to dairy because of the intestinal damage, it may not be a true allergy, and thus may not show on allergy tests. Anyway, there are non-dairy cheeses, milks, and so on. So there's no reason to feel deprived. I don't do dairy either, but I can still have many milk and cheese type items; there simply made with other things. Nut milks are a fabulous replacement for dairy milk. And yes, you can make cheese out of them too. There's also rice and soy milks. Non-dairy cheeses can be purchased as well.

If he feels limited, he might consider reading some posts on this forum, or better yet - join!

Besides no gluten, I currently don't consume any animal products, including meat, dairy, eggs, fish, etc. No sugar, honey, yeast, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, or any other nightshades either. Also on a limited budget.

I don't really feel deprived, but the budget gets me down. Others on this board are far more limited in their dietary choices than I am though. How deprived does your brother feel?

      Hi, @Rebeccaj, Those Villa that get damaged by eating gluten are the same billion that absorb nutrients from our food.  Damaged villa can't absorb nutrients, vitamins and minerals well.  If we don't get sufficient nutrients, our body can't function properly.  We can get brain fog, pins and needles or neuropathy, feeling off balance, and even worsening digestive symptoms. Talk to your doctor or dietician about taking vitamin and mineral supplements while healing.  The gluten free diet can be low in nutrients, especially if you eat gluten free facsimile processed foods.  Gluten containing breads have vitamins added to them to replace those lost in processing.  Gluten free facsimile foods usually are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins.   Taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, Vitamin D, and magnesium help the digestive tract heal, lowers histamine, and regulates the immune system.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/
