I didn't take the poll, but wanted to say that I tested positive for casein intolerance, went off it for six months and saw no improvement whatsoever. I went back on it and saw no change for the negative.

I didn't really fit into the criteria for the poll, but wanted to tell you that. Try being casein free for a while, then challenge it to see if you really are.

you can check pubmed for the casein-induced enteropathy studies.

I could not stop getting sick from casein after going gluten-free but am a vegan now and avoid it anyway.

I wasn't tested (I won't go there), but everytime I ate or drank anything with dairy in it my stomach would go into spasm or I would get nauseas. Lactaid did not help ...

Having said that, for some reason I have been able to drink kefir made from organic cow's milk ever since going gluten free. This is really good with frozen fruit ... And a good probiotic.

I recently tested to see if I could handle cheese and I was fine. No pains, no nausea.

I'm not planning on adding it back in all the time though. I've read too much about how bad dairy is for us and I am still trying to heal.

Clear as mud, huh ?? Marcia

Hi.

I was hoping for the same, that one day soon I will be able to eat dairy products, but since I started the diet I knew in my heart that I will never can eat dairy products again. I need it confirmation, thats when I called EnteroLabs and they told me what I was suspecting all along.

This diet is for ever.

Best regards to everyone.

I've been casein free for a couple years now, and if anything, I'm more sensitive to it (just like with gluten), although my reactions are not as violent any more as they once were (also just like with gluten). I did eat goats cheese up till two weeks ago, but I've stopped that as well for now and I'm planning to reintroduce it in a month or so to see if I react to goats cheese, too. I'm pretty sure I'll be cow milk free for life though.

It's almost harder to avoid casein isn't it? I find it's the combination of avoiding both gluten and casein that makes it very tricky, a lot of gluten free foods still have casein so it limits my choices much more. But hang in there, you really need to give it a good chance before you try to reintroduce.

I haven't been tested, but I know I react to dairy, pretty much the same way as I react to gluten. I am goin out of my mind trying to do this. I keep getting caisen, even the "non dairy creamer" has dairy. I am trying to find Vegan stuff, but it's not good subtitutes.

Every week or so I seem to slip up and am confirmed again, I still can't eat it.

I was tested through Enterolabs, but that merely confirmed what I already knew. I will probably not ever be able to eat dairy regularly. I did buy a very small (6 oz) container of plain (unflavored, unsweetened) goatmilk yogurt last week...I ate half of it one day and half the next. That's it, I don't think I could eat more than that and be okay. Half the container seemed to work okay, but I think if I ate it every day I'd have problems.

If you can tolerate soy, Silk makes a very good casein-free coffee creamer. I adored it until I realized that soy was causing me problems too! :(

I have been using Silk Soy Milk in my coffee, it's ok, not perfect but passable.

I may buy creamer for work though..

I never did like milk in my coffee; it HAD to be half and half. But the Silk creamer is a pretty good imitation of half and half, and I really liked it.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C. Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
