Whey And Casein?

My enterolab results showed that i cannot tolerate casein. My question is.........does that mean it is okay for me to take a whey protein supplement (NOW Brand). It is Gluten free, sugar free, and soy free. What are the major foods that contain casein. Can i never have chocolate? Thanks

The protein in whey is lactalbumin (casein is the curd), but the CC risk is pretty high.

I eat chocolate with "may contain traces of milk" warnings every once in awhile. My main casein symptom is a horrible acne break out and upscale dark chocolate doesn't break me out.

I could take or leave chocolate. It's cheese I really miss. I read a study out of Europe where two years on a casein free diet cured the casein intolerance (not so for gluten - same study). I'm going to eventually do a dairy challenge and see what happens. I know Dr. Fine would disagree with that decision, though!

Would a gluten free whey protein powder be okay then, since it isnt casein, or is the CC gonna get me?

Casein is a name for all forms of dairy. Whey IS a form of dairy so you shouldn't have it if you're casein free.

My advice is to go off dairy completely (including whey) for awhile before you try something like that. Then you'll know if you are reacting to it. You won't be casein-free if you eat whey. You'd be more like casein-lite.

Oooh, I'd love to see that study! Do you have a reference for it? I've been Gluten-free Casein-free for almost 2 years and recently took a trip to France where I decided, heck with it, I'm eating French cheese! And much to my surprise, I didn't get the skin reaction that casein has always given me in the past. I still had some VERY minor stomach issues that I suspect were due to lactose (mainly because they were stronger for actual milk than for cheese) and I'm back to CF for the time being, but this experience made me wonder if I might be able to add some small amounts of dairy to my diet eventually.

      They both do.  The peanuts add nutrients to the treat. Tootsie Roll: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Condensed Skim Milk, Cocoa, Whey, Soy Lecithin, Artificial and Natural Flavors. M&M Peanut: milk chocolate (sugar, chocolate, skim milk, cocoa butter, lactose, milkfat, peanuts, soy lecithin, salt, natural flavor), peanuts, sugar, cornstarch; less than 1% of: palm oil, corn syrup, dextrin, colors (includes blue 2 lake, blue 1 lake, red 40, yellow 6 lake, yellow 5, yellow 6, blue 1, yelskim milk contains caseinlow 5 lake, blue 2, red 40 lake), carnauba wax, gum acacia. glycemic index of Tootsie Rolls ~83 gycemic index of M&M Peanuts ~33   The composition of non-fat solids of skim milk is: 52.15% lactose, 38.71% protein (31.18% casein, 7.53% whey protein), 1.08% fat, and 8.06% ash.   https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9781118810279.ch04  Milkfat carries the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. The solids-not-fat portion [of milk] consists of protein (primarily casein and lactalbumin), carbohydrates (primarily lactose), and minerals (including calcium and phosphorus). https://ansc.umd.edu/sites/ansc.umd.edu/files/files/documents/Extension/Milk-Definitions.pdf

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

      I see it everyday on my feeds.  They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts.  I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
