Reintroducing Dairy

a while ago i reintroduced dairy since then i stopped but im thinking about doing it again, just wondering what anyone else thinks. after having 1 cup of yogurt each day for 4 days, i was feeling better then ever, my stomich pains and all of a sudden left me, i was finally using the restroom correctly 3 times a day with heatlhy looking movements, but then i ended up passing what turned out to be a gallstone, when i told my crappy doctor he told me to stop the dairy. My question is was the gallstone caused by the dairy, or was it the dairy just flushing out stones that i already had (aka a good thing?) all i know is im back to been crappy again, terrible gas, gas pain, and ugly bms. I dont know what i can do to change these thingsi have tried everything, i did citracel for a bit it helped for about 2 weeks and then i started to not go at all and it backed me up so bad i had to go to the hospital, anyone got any tips or anything or any advice. I just wanna feel healthy again :(

btw its been confirmed by 2 seperate docs now, that i do not have celiac disease and both them want me to go back onto bread, but i have my mind so convinced that i do, that i wont challange it

Lister,

I know thatwhen my dad had 4 kidneystones(!!!!!!!) he was told not to consume any dairy, the reason being they are high in calcium. they said that calcium is part of what caused the kidney stones. so, if they said not to, i wouldnt. also, dairy isnt good for you... go to www.notmilk.com and read about how bad it is. i am not "allergic" but i dont eat any because it is like "poison" according to my doctor. i hpe that helps you.

Kassandra :rolleyes:

Lister, I'm glad you figured out you had gallstones. I thought that was what it was when you described the "marble". As for the gallstone, they are usually made out of cholesterol. The stones can "calcify" and turn hard, which is when they would have to take your gallbladder out.

Most likely the pain you are feeling is gall attacks. I have never heard of avoiding dairy for gallstone purposes. However it is recommended that you limit the oil, fat, grease intake. But some people have attacks to other foods, so you just have to figure out what works for you. If you passed a stone more than likely you have more. They have meds to help break up the stones. My daughter (15 y/o) is on them now. I'm trying to keep her body parts intact if at all possible.

Have you gotten a new job yet? If not, have you applied for the medical? This would be a good time to have an ultrasound done and to have your liver levels checked via blood draws.

As for the c problem, I would recommend taking epsom salts. It is cheap and it works. The directions on how much to take are on the box.

If you don't want to eat bread, then don't. It isn't required to be healthy.

As far as I know calcium pills wouldn't especially help your stomach... better save your money. Are you still having stomach pains, or is it just the inadequate bm's that you're worried about? You said you felt better with yoghurt, and I was thinking that maybe what you need is some good bacteria in your gut, which is what yoghurt has, which might be why you felt better when you ate it. I usually try to eat what my body tells me it likes... so if you felt better with yoghurt, I think it might be an idea to try it again for a few days. The gallstone, if it was a gallstone, might have been a coincidence. Anyway, trying again for just a few days probably wouldn't hurt.

Just my two cents... btw, how is the new job going, and everything?

Lister,

The gall bladder in important because it makes bile that breaks up fats/oils into tiny droplets in your intestine. This gives the fat enzymes (lipase) more surface area to act on. Without a gallbladder/bile you would not be able to absorb fat--or fat soluble vitamins efficiently. Gall stones are mainly cholesterol, so I would advise you to lower your cholesterol intake. (Easier said than done, I know ;) .)

Calcium is a very important mineral. In addition to being the building block for bones and teeth, it is also needed for neural functioning, muscle contraction, and various molecular pathways in the body. If calcified gallstones are giving you problems, then you should be mindful of your calcium intake and do not exceed the daily recommended value.

Lister, if yogurt was helping you, maybe it was the probiotics in the yogurt. You might buy some probiotics and see if they have the same positive effect on your system.

Have you ever considered that many of your symptoms may be from a candida overgrowth?

For the calcium, you could just take tums, they are high in calcium and are fairly inexpensive. It is possible that it was a coincidence. Try the probiotics, yoghurt etc, it can't hurt.

Also as far as your bm's it could be the lack of not getting enough fiber.

Tums are not reccommended for someone who is gluten-free. Some varieties are clearly not gluten-free and the others run a high risk of CC. Also antiacids are not a good way to get calcium, the antiacid properties of the drugs themselves prevent the calcium from being absorbed. Rolaids or Pepto Bismal are a better safe choice for tummy relief when needed.

i try to make my diet high in fiber or atleast to my knowlege it is, first off almost anything that is made into gluten-free from something that was not is like almost 100% rice and tapioca, then i eat salads everyday and meat, though i did figure out the really bad gas comes from the chips i eat, so i probably need to find something to substatue for them

also i was taking citracel for a while (it says gluten-free right on it) and it was helping my bms awsomly for like 2 weeks then all of asudden i did not go for 4 days and i had to go to the doctor and get some lovely meds i would rather not talk about because the citracel had plugged me up so bad i could feel it thru my entire stomich

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      no argument. Never take the pills sold for Nuclear events, except in a nuclear event when instructed to by authorities. Some of these go up to 130 milligrams per pill. 5000 times the strength of the dietary supplement. 130 times the safe upper limit. 130 mg = 130,000 mcg. Dietary supplements like Lugol's Solution and Liquid Iodine are 50 micrograms...

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      This is very exciting news. The research lends itself to preventing the immune system in other autoimmune disorders from getting out of sorts. As someone with a compendium of autoimmune disorders I feel a bit of hope.

Dietary supplements like Lugol's Solution and Liquid Iodine are 50 micrograms per drop.  It takes 20 drops to reach the safe upper limit. In the US the Safe upper limit is 1100 mcg.  In Europe 600 mcg and in Japan 3000 mcg ( 3 mg).

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.
