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

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!
