Reintroducing Dairy

Lister

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

      Awaiting Biopsy results

      I have had my endoscopy this morning with biopsies. My consultant said that it looked like I did have coeliac disease from what he could see. I now have to wait 3 weeks for the biopsy results. Do I continue eating gluten till my follow appointment in three weeks.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      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...

      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: (

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 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.
