Symptoms Of Gluten Pr Lactose Intolerance?

Recommended Posts

I was diagnose 2yrs. ago with gluten intolerance through entero labs. My 10 year old son seems fine, but it seems that at least once a month(lately) he has diareaha or vomiting which usually lasts only a few hours to half a day. He eats gluten lite at my house, but gets a lot at his dads. I also have noticed that the last 2 incidents have occured after eating pizza and ice cream (happened 2x in a week). The pizza at my house was gluten free. I am wondering if this could be lactose intolerance. Can this cause vomiting? I thought lactose only caused constipation or diareaha. Can gluten intolerance symptoms come and go? It seems that some of these incidents happen after dairy, and some after gluten. Once it happened after my mom bought him a big cinamon roll. Sometimes it happens within an hour and other time a half day later. What do you think. I am also mildly lactose intolerant and so is my mom. Most of the time though he eats and is fine. Weird.

My daughter had intermittent symptoms of pain from gluten for months, maybe years, until she started having it all the time. It took six weeks for the pain to go away completely after stopping gluten. The intermittent nature of your son's digestive problems could be the start of it if my daughter's experience is typical.

she was also lactose intolerant by the time she was diagnosed with gluten intolerance. She now is able to eat a bit of dairy for the first time in months without appreciable problems.

Does anyone else have advice??

Symptoms can definitely be intermittent and change in response time for both gluten and lactose. Sometimes lactose gives me severe stomach pain, sometimes nothing. I have never vomited from it, but I wouldn't be surprised if some people do.

I'd suggest getting him tested for gluten and lactose or doing an elimination diet. Testing might be the way to go if you will have to convince his father it's necessary.

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one. "Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.
