Lactose Intollerance And Celiacs


Krystens mummy

Hi all, I hope someone can help me. My child is gluten intollerant with all the signs of celiacs(including DH). She hasn't been formally tested as she is just 12 mths old. I have heard somewhere that celiacs are often also lactose intollerant. I have also heard that celiacs can also sometimes tolerate yoghurt because it has a and b cultures in it and this helps break down the lactose. Now my daughter has been gluten free for about three months and all signs of the gluten are out of her system. She eats yoghurt with no reactions. She is on a lactose based formula (here is where it gets tricky) The formula contains bifidus cultures found in yoghurt. She is fine with this. Over the past week I have been giving her small amounts of cows milk in with her formula. She has had diarrhoea like with the gluten but not as severe and the eczema has returned but also not as severe. I am wondering wherther the bifidus in the formula is helping her tolerate it?She is on heinz nurture gold follow on (we live in australia) I also should mention that she ate some gluten free crackers recently with msg on them however she has had them before with no ill effects. All comments are welcome. Thanks for your help

It sounds like with the cows milk she is having the reactions. Maybe you need to try rice milk or soy milk. You could always ask the pediatrician. After being diagnosed with celiac and going gluten free to help recover most people have to go off dairy. It was about a year after I went gluten free that I had problems with dairy and I went off it for about 6 months before re-introducing it back into my diet. But it wasn't everything dairy, just milk and cheeses. I did fine with ice cream (gluten free of course) and yogurt. Change your childs milk, if any questions ask the doctor, hoepfully they will be able to help. :rolleyes:

It's my understanding that when gluten attacks the cells which help break down proteins they get so destroyed that other proteins typically broken down easily don't get broken down which can cause reactions. (Thus, the inability to process dairy.)

My son is gluten free and dairy free. He has tollerated little bits of dairy here and there, but whenever gluten has accidentally gotten into his system, he has a difficult time with any dairy as well as meat and soy proteins.

We basicly eat vegan, gluten free with very little soy.

It's difficult, but worth every effort knowing if we don't eliminate the proper foods it's awful for my son!

Eliminating foods that cause even the slightest discomfort is the best way for healing to begin.

Listen carefully to our bodies which are trying so desperately to tell us something!

My daughter, nearly a year on, still gets exzema from dairy. I give her soya milk, although i do give her cheese every so often, and dairy chocolate ;) Yes she itches and i have to put loads of cream on, but i can't deprive her of everything. BUT i can't tolerate dairy so at least i know where the dairy thing comes from :D

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
