Glutened, Lactosed Or Soyed - Help I'm Confused

Hi

Does anyone know if reactions to lactose and/or soy are the same as gluten reactions? I was diagnosed 4 months ago by biopsy and TTG blood test, and have been gluten free since then, however I have been feeling worse instead of better. I have also stopped much of my use of lactose and soy. I have not been as strict with the lactose and soy, and am wondering if this could account for the nausea, headaches and extreme fatigue that I continue to experience.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. :)

It is very possible that these foods are causing the problems. It may be a casein issue rather than a lactose issue. You should try going 100% soy and casein free for a few weeks at least and then introduce one and wait a while and see your reaction and then introduce the other to see what happens. Good luck!

I was told by the dietician to drink lots of soymilk and ensure for the calories and protein about 4 weeks post diagnosis. Needless to say, i was feeling MUCH worse. I cut out the soy and have felt better since. YOu should probably cut out the lactose and soy as well and see how you feel in a few days. Then you can reintroduce one of them in time and see if you still have a reaction. The other post regarding casein may also be a good idea as well.

Thanks for your help Gg and Kassandra - Just a little confused about casein and lactose - are they both usually contained in milk products?

Your help is much appreciated

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
