Milk Allergy Is Addition To Gluten?

I am not sure but I think I may be having a problem digesting dairy in addition to the Gluten Allergy. I have been taking lactaid pills everytime I eat dairy and it doesn't seem to be making a difference. My question is does anybody know is it the Lactose in milk that celiacs have a problem digesting or is it something else a protein of some kinda in which case the pills won't make a difference. I am going to try cutting out dairy completly for then next week to see if that will make a difference.

Finally for those of you who do have problems with dairy, does butter fall into that category. I know butter has almost no lactose but not sure if it is still a problem..

Any advice is appreciated..

thanks

Yes, it is often suggested that those newly diagnoses eliminate diary until some healing can occur.

After some time you can introduce it.

Smart Balance is diary free. It's a far cry from real butter, but it works.

One of the reasons I was tested for Celiac in the begining was my lactose intolerance, I remember being so excited when the doctor told me that with a gluten free diet my lactose intolerance would likely clear up in a couple of months, and it did, it took about three months for me but I was luckily dxed quickly I only had Celiac symptoms from May to Dec. You may not clear up you may always have a reaction to dairy but once your gut heals you may not, it'll be a trial and error kinda deal but I would wait atleast 2 months before I tried to reintro dairy if it were me.

Some have problems with lactose (milk sugar); some have problems with casein (the predominant milk protein). If the lactaid pills don't help you and you DO feel better without dairy, then your problem would seem to be with casein.

Yes, butter does contain casein, although not a great deal. It does seem like, with my other intolerances, avoiding the items makes me more sensitive when I do have an accidental ingestion, much like things work with gluten. I can't have the slightest bit of egg anymore. I am very sensitive to any bits of soy, even soy lecithin it seems. I can't hack butter (for awhile, if there was some on a restaurant's offering I managed OK). I was doing fine with ghee (clarified butter with supposedly no casein left), but now meals in Indian restaurants have been causing problems.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
