Casein Intolerant And I Ate Cottage Cheese

I am casein intolerant and have gone very light on the casein, but have not given it up completely. Last March I went gluten free and casein light. For the first time since March I ate cottage cheese. Only 1/2 cup. Within minutes my tongue was sore (geographic tongue) and today I have undereye bags, hand is numb, lump in throat, chest/back pressure, rapid pounding heart beat and cramping stomach (not intestines). Very same symptoms as when I was gluttened! Could the cottage cheese have done this? The only other possibility would be the egg drop soup (I gave in to a craving) I ate from the chinese place the day before yesterday. But what could that have in it? Anyone have ideas about casein symptoms? Are they the same as Gluten symptoms? :(

Thanks

Casein symptoms can vary. You may think about getting testing done for casein. It sounds like you had a rather intense reaction.

I can tell you from experience that having a lot of casein after not having much can make you sick. I've been on a pretty much vegan diet for years, but had little bits of casein from time to time. (OK, the restaurant put parmesan cheese on my dish, I didn't send it back -- that sort of thing.) At Thanksgiving, I had a slice of cheesecake (this was before I tested as intolerant to casein). I was sick for a week.

Symptoms can vary. My gluten and casein reactions are similar. My soy reaction is subtle. My egg reaction is actually the worst of the bunch. But then people all seem to react in different ways.

However, you could be reacting to the egg drop soup. I googled for recipes and found some contain wheat flour for thickening. Also, could it have contained MSG? Some react rather strongly to that.

I hope you get feeling better.

Are you sure the cottage cheese was gluten free? Not all brands are, from research I've done in the past. Also, could the soup have had MSG in it? Maybe that's another sensitivity (or the eggs themselves). Good luck - hope you feel better soon!

I was going to say the same thing.

Suz . . .gotta tell ya - I don't understand this at all.

Why not completely?

I've been 100% dairy-free for years and it's a breeze.

I DID recently find that goat cheese is fine for me. It seems pretty common for the casein-intolerant to really just have trouble w/ cow casein.

Every goat cheese I've tried has been fantastic, tho I'm only trying 'fresh' varieties, as opposed to 'aged', but that's due to a different problem w/ mold.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
