Dairy Free Now Too For 11 Days


Nic

Recommended Posts

My son who has been gluten free for 2 years but just went dairy free 11 days ago in a search to find why he is still sick all the time (the doctor also found evidence of a food intolerance during a colonoscopy). We started the dairy free diet 2 Saturdays ago. Constipation is his symptom with terrible rectal pain. Well by Monday of that week I noticed his appetite increased dramatically. He began eating 3 solid meals a day with snacks in between as opposed to the barely eating breakfast, maybe a few bites of lunch, and no dinner we were seeing before. By the next day, he completely emptied out, it was like the flood gates opened, before that day he had not pooped more then a pebble here or there for about 2 months with the exception of the colonoscopy prep. Since that Tuesday he has pooped everyday and has continued to eat well. So of course I thought it has got to be dairy. Then yesterday he had trouble eating breakfast and then went to try to poop but could not go. Very frustrating but then the rest of the day he did eat well and he did go to the bathroom. I am afraid that the bad morning was a sign that we are wrong about the dairy. Is it possible to see the results so quickly if it is dairy? I am hoping that yesterday was simply that he has only been dairy free for 11 days and therefore not healed up yet inside. Any thoughts?

It may be that it has only been 11 days. Is it possible that maybe he accidentally got some hidden dairy?

I hope that he continues to improve!

If I eat dairy, I get constipated quite quickly. And quitting dairy seems to unconstipate me quite quickly. It sounds like maybe he got some sneaked in there on accident. OR --- we can't be perfect every day. I've noticed some days I'm not right and there's really no obvious good explanation. I read once a good article on IBS - and it talked about the three necessities for pooping: bulk, water, lubricant. In other words, fiber and bulk, drinking lots of water and other non diuretic liquids, and getting enough fats.

It sounds like you've made the right choice on the dairy thing to me. Every time I try to get some butter on my toast, I'm back to the 20 minute toilet times.

Good luck.

Your health food store should sell Chlorella. They are wonderful, natural algae pills. They will fix him in a day. I and my children take them daily. There are many health benefits to taking them other than the aiding in digestion that occurs. Please google chlorella for yourself and see what natural doctors have to say about this algae.

      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/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
