Going Casein-free


HAK1031

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?

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
