ok so right around week 3 or 4 I noticed dairy possibly becoming a problem for my son, but I haven't taken it out until today week 7. Now for myself I am right around week 4 gluten-free and I am suspecious dairy is hurting my tummy and sending me to the potty room. I'm going dairy free starting now.

So if we are truely celiac, how long should we avoid dairy too? And is it all dairy (meaning whey and casein)???

Currently I am taking out the ovious dairy (milk,cheese,yogurt,icecream,butter)

Hi I am sorry you have to also give up dairy.

Whe I obtainned the results from EnteroLabs I positive also for milk products. It didn't suprise me.

Their recomendations is to stay away from dairy for one year, and re-introduce it little by little.

I am avoiding ALL dairy products, but Not every one is the same. So this limits my diet even further.

Good luck!!!!!

Best regards to you.

Celiac or not....there are many people who are intolerant to dairy, especially casein. Besides gluten, I believe that casein and soy are the only other two foods which can cause blunting of the villi.

I have read information that said to avoid dairy for about a year. But I'm not exactly sure how true or effective that really is. My dd has been off all forms of dairy for over two years. She is STILL completely intolerant to casein (and whey). At this point, we have found many good substitutes for it in diet and don't really miss it too much.

If you're going to take dairy out, I would take ALL of it out. If you have a problem with dairy, it will be similar in severity to gluten. So cc is definitely a concern and should be avoided.

The only food that we really missed on this diet was pizza. And luckily, someone here posted a homemade cashew cheese recipe that was very tasty and definitely worked well on gluten-free pizza. For milk substitutes, look into rice, hazelnut, almond, coconut or even hemp milk. And Vance's Dari-free works too...it is potato-based.

I was dx'd with celiac on april 1st. When I was young i was diagnosed lactose intolerant. now I am 24 and have learned how much diary is two much for me. I can drink a glass of milk a day and be ok. Anymore than that I'm on the potty! but Lactaid really helps me. I'm not sure abotu it being gluten-free though. I haven't had to take it since i've been Dx'd with celiac.

j mommy, I noticed you have had positive blood work, and waiting for an upcoming biopsy, WHY???

If you have the positive blood work what is the reason for the biopsy?

I was gluten free for about 3-4 weeks also before dairy started giving me problems :(

My body just hates me.

Unless you have a milk ALLERGY you don not need to avoid casein and whey. Those are proteins and it is the proteins that cause an allergic reaction. If you are INTOLERANT due to Celiac disease or genetics then you cannot digest lactose, the milk sugar. They can both cause cramps and diarrhea for two different reasons. If you are lactose intolerant then you will be able to benefit from Lactaid which is a dietary supplement that contains lactase, the enzyme lacking in lactose intolerance. Lactaid is gluten free, and they have chewable pills. My son's doctor said that I can give him half a pill before he eats dairy. At his four year check up I plan on having the hydrogen breath test done on him so see if he is still lactose intolerant. I recommend getting allergy testing done, just so you know for sure. Or else you may be wondering if he got glutened or if he really is allergic to something else. It's a "simple" blood test, and then you know.

My Dr wants to see the damage! We scheduled the biopsy before teh blood tests results came back b/c she really didn't think Celiac would be my diagnoses! Big suprise there!LOL but Celiac was it. I have a huge family history of intestinal problems so we're doing a colonoscopy too. But I guess in teh end I'm just going by what my doc says...sometimes not such a good idea but I guess I kind of want to know what the damage is in my small intestine!

My daughter was dx at 2.5 years and she had pos blood work and still did the biopsy b/c they said they wanted to be sure and to know the severity of the damage already done. We went gluten-free the day her blood work came back pos. Looking back I'm not sure I would have put her through the biopsy, but I was so over whelmed and glad they finally found out what the problems were that I was okay with it.

I think how long you abstain depends on what your reaction is to and what antibodies you are producing. For example, some celiacs cannot digest lactose but that improves as villi regain their function. Though I am surprised that EnterLabs told some of you to only cut out casein for a year. Is this correct??? I quote them regarding my casein-positive test:

"Dr. Fine strongly recommends NOT reintroducing any foods that will produce the antigliadin or (IgA) antibody. However, if you are having problems with other foods that may cause the body to produce the IgE or IgG antibody, as a response to any allergy, you could possibly reintroduce those foods after a while. We can also test for egg, yeast and soy sensitivies if you are interested. You would have to contact an allergist to be tested for an allergy to these or other foods. Thank you, Kathy Carreon EnteroLab Customer Service"

Hope this helps! And hope it is NOT dairy ... I'm on day 4 of giving that up and feel like I'm DYING. :lol:

I have been gluten free for almost two years. For a long time, during meals, I would have facial perspiration and found no real connection. I even posted that question here with little answers.

It turns out that eating dairy, I will have an immediate reaction with the familiar facial perspiration. I can tolerate limited dairy without intestinal distress, but I always get the face flush from cheese and dairy.

I have never heard anyone on this board comment about this "facial perspiration" when eating. But I have pin-pointed it down for me. I don't know whether I have a casein issue or a lactose issue, but it's an allergy at the least. Glad to know I have a witness. :)

Oh, I have a reaction to wine as well - sulfates, and we do wine tasting every Saturday and always the same reaction. I should know, but I don't was the source of sulfates are. (and not even sure that I have spelled it properly).

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Hi. So sorry to hear about your shingles. There is a lidocaine cream that you can get at Walmart that will help numb the pain. That's what I used for mine. It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral. It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes, see an ophthalmologist. They have...

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area.  I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who  had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain direction whilst doing exercises, but otherwise was responding well to the gluten-free diet. As far as I know is still the picture of health. I often end up with pain in various parts of my gut if I eat too much rich food or certain types of fibre (for some reasons walnuts make my gut hurt, and rice cakes!) and and as a rule, the pain usually hangs around for a number of days, maybe up to a week.   When I bend over or turn, I can feel it.  I think this is actually due to my other diagnosis of IBS, for years I thought I had a rumbling appendix but I think it must have just been IBS.  Reading the experiences of other sufferers, it seems quite typical.  Sensitized gut, build up of gas - it stands to reason that the extra pressure of turning can increase the pain. When I am glutened I get a burning, gnawing pain in my stomach on and off for some days - it isn't constant, but it can take up a few hours of the day.  I believe this to be gastritis, but it seems to hurt irrespective of movement.   Anyway, you are doing the right thing to seek a professional opinion, though, so do let us know how you get on.   Meanwhile, might I suggest you drink peppermint tea, or try slices of fresh ginger in hot water? A lot of IBS sufferers say the former is very helpful in relieving cramps, etc, and the latter is very soothing on the stomach. Cristiana

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body was trying to get rid of something from all sides and it was just horrible. Since then I havent been nauseous anymore at all, but the pain has stayed and it always worsens the moment i start moving. The more I move the more it hurts, and when i rest longer it seems to dissapear (no movement). I've had this before, but years ago I think around when I first got diagnosed with coeliac, where each time I moved, my stomach would hurt, to the point where I went to the ER because doctors got freaked out. That only lasted 1 night though, and Now it's already wednesday, so 3 days since then, but the pain persists and remains leveled. it doesn't get crazy intense, but it's still uncomfortable to the point I cant really go out because Im afraid itll turn into a giant flare up again. I couldn't think of where I could possibly have been glutened at this bad of a level and why it hasn't passed yet. I went to the GP, and as long as I have no fever and the pain isnt insane then its fine which I havent had yet. Tomorrow im also seeing a gastroenterologist specialized in IBS and coeliac for the first time finally in years, but I thought I'd ask on here anyway because it still hasnt dissapeared. It also hurts when someone presses on it. Maybe it's just really inflamed/irritated. I'm just frustrated because I'm missing out on my uni lectures and I do a sports bachelor, so I can't get behind on stuff & next to that i'm also going to go to the beach with my boyfriend's family this weekend: (

If it is in your eyes,  see an ophthalmologist.  They have an antiviral eye drop that can be prescribed.  Shingles in the eye could cause blindness.  I was unsure whether you have celiac or not.  If you do,  follow the diet.  I believe that extra stress on your body does affect everything. Shingles can recur. If you start getting the warning signs of nerves tingling,  see the dr and start taking the valacyclovir to prevent a breakout. If I sound technical,  I am a retired pharmacist.

      celiac disease and braces

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.
