Going Casein-free

I'm already about 75% dairy free from my lactose problems, but now I'm going completely CF for a week or two to see if I feel better. I am starting to feel sick again- headaches, and I still have that stomach bug (but I can keep fluids down OK now and I'm not dehydrated, but I will be seeing the doc tomorrow).

I'm starting to feel a bit like I did pre DX. My knees and hips are sore, my hair is falling out really easily and I'm exhausted. So out goes the casein. I'm also soy-lite: no soymilk or tofu or anything fried in soybean oil, although I do still eat foods with soy lechitin. If going CF doesn't help after a few days, I'll try completely soy free too. I could also stand to eat a little healthier than I have been.

But do I need to be as careful about casein as I am with gluten? Should I be worried about CC?

Thanks everyone for your advice

I have found that being as careful with casein as I am with gluten makes a difference. I've been 90% dairy-free since August and 100% since October. When I do get a little bit of dairy I know immediately - my sinuses flare up, I bloat and feel cranky for several days. It's almost like a gluten reaction to me, but not as bad.

Have you kept a food/symptom journal to see if there may be other offending foods?

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Lysine is helpful for "cold sores" (oral herpes).

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By dmallbee · Posted

      As a life.long celiac, I understand this.  I simply ask that the medical profession stop disregarding the fact that it should remain a concern for some. It cost me a lot of medical discomforts.

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.
