Casein-free?

I see that a lot of Celiac patients are obviously GLUTEN free but now I see that a lot of people are CASEIN free. Is that the norm? We're pretty new to this and I obviously want to do what's healthiest/best for my family.

I think the two tend to go hand in hand, at least... for a while. I think the norm is that diary IS a problem while the intestines are healing, and some can reintroduce.

I've been totally dairy free for a week now, and it's difficult, but I'm noticing some positive effects, finally.

While it is common for celiac to coexist with casein intolerance, they are separate conditions. Casein is the protein found in milk.

The ability to digest lactose (milk sugar) is affected by celiac. The enzyme lactase, which is required to break down lactose is produced by the villi. If the villi are damaged, lactase is not produced, causing lactose intolerance. This condition is usually temporary, since when the villi recover it goes away.

      What really bothers me is if worrying about getting cc‘d from touching the same door knob as others touched is valid. Seems like an extremely unlikely way to get glutened but i read people saying that.    If thats true then theres realistically zero chance i dont get cc‘d in a non gluten-free household unless i Cook Everything myself and wash my hands multiple times in between and store all of my stuff separately

      Welcome to the forum, @Mrs. Cedrone! Among the various causes for canker sores, are "Nutritional problems like too little vitamin B12, zinc, folic acid, or iron" https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/canker-sores Could you be deficient on something?

      I have been a diagnosed Celiac for over 30 years.  If I even get any type of cross contamination I end up in the hospital.  Recently I have been getting "cankers".  I am assuming that this is a result from something I am eating.  any insight would be greatly appreciated.  I follow an extremely strike diet as result and this is something new that has popped up.  I still get very ache sometimes and fatigued.  Thank you.
