Could It Be Diary After All

Hi all, having pretty good success at 3 1/2 months trying to be gluten free but have issues at least once a week. I've always thought myself not to be diary intolerant because I read that dairy reactions happen within 30 minutes to 2 hours later. I typically don't have the big D until the morning so figured it was cc or hidden gluten. I did notice the other day that about an hour and a half after eating some slicedhormel ham rolled with cream cheese , I got very gassy. Also last night I made buffalo wings with franks hot original and 1/3 cup of butter and was gassy a couple hours later but it could have been from the spicyness of the meal. Just a little confused. Can dairy wait longer to show up as an intolerance? Thanks

Just like gluten, dairy intolerance can have delayed reactions. In fact, in some cases, you don't get a reaction until a couple of days later.

So, it absolutely could be the dairy that is causing the problem. It would be worth it to completely eliminate dairy from your diet to see if it helps. And give it a good two weeks at least.

Thanks Ursa, I really don't care about milk (never liked it) but I do absolutely love cheese but I agree that it would be worth a try to see if removing dairy makes a difference. My coffee creamer says lactose, dairy & gluten free but it does have sodium caseinate so I'm guessing its off limits? Gluten was extremely hard to give up in the beginning but I know if I have to give up dairy it shouldn't be as hard since cheese is really the only dairy that I care about.

Hi

I have been hanging out on the specific carbohydrate diet thread, and have just decided to try dairy free to see if that will keep me off the slippery slope to D.

In light of your question about how long to see symptoms, I am wondering about symptoms of casein intolerance vs. lactose intolerance. I realize that one is an intolerance to protein and the other to sugar, but I have little idea how casein intolernace is manifested. Can anyone tell me?

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, but the biopsy needs to be done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis. So, if you can accomplish that without long term gluten exposure, that should work. How close together does do the dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks occur in relation to the gluten exposure? It would be helpful to time that out in relation to your dermatology appointment for the biopsy. But one caution I would have about a dermatitis herpetiformis biopsy is that not every dermatologist knows how to do it correctly. The sample needs to be taken from tissue next to the bumps, not from the bumps themselves. But Wheatwacked is correct. A dermatitis herpetiformis diagnosis is definitive proof of celiac disease. However, only about 15% of celiacs develop dermatitis herpetiformis.

      That should answer your question about gluten.  Plus a dermatitis herpetiformis diagnosis is definative of celiac disease by itself.  Now you need to decide if you need to to pursue a diagnosis.  For your baby's health, I would assune both you and the baby have Celiac Disease. Eat gluten free and account for the fact that gluten free foods are not fortified.  Make sure to get lots of folate and Choline to prevent neurotube defects.   My son was diagnosed when he was weaned by biopsy in 1976.  Everyone called it just colicky, but his giant abdomen and green and yellow poop said otherwise.  Oh, and dispite general belief, they do not outgrow it.  If you are gluten free then your newborn will be gluten free and testing will not be positive for celiac disease, until the baby starts eating gluten and gets sick.  Why put him through that?  Gluten free household will give him the best health. Just before I started gluten free and one of the reasons I did was that I was lying in bed watching TV when I coughed.  My belly was bloated and I felt sick as a dog.  A bubble, looked like Bazooka bubble gum, popped out of my navel.  I am male, but apparently umbilical hernias are not uncommon in pregnancy.  Mine eventually resolved by itself. Low choline levels in pregnant women raise babies' risk for brain and spinal-cord defects, study shows  "From 180,000 pregnant women screened between 2003 and 2005, the researchers identified 80 whose pregnancies were affected by neural tube defects. Choline, an essential nutrient found in egg yolks, soy, wheat germ and meats, was the only nutrient measured whose blood levels were linked to risk of neural tube defects."

      Welcome to the community @MCAyr! One thing you need to know is that in order for celiac disease diagnostic testing to be valid, you must not have been on a gluten-free diet already. The first stage of celiac disease testing involves looking for the blood antibodies that are produced by the inflammation in the small bowel lining. Once you eliminate gluten, the antibodies begin to disappear and it takes weeks or months of being back on normal amounts of gluten for them to build up to detectable levels again.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By MCAyr · Posted

      Hi currently being investigated for celiac; suspected dermatitis herpetiformis, low calcium and vit D, stomach discomfort and 2 episodes of awful stomach pain (docs think maybe triggered by pregnancy)  Went gluten-free for 5 weeks was feeling great then last week accidentally had some in a sweet! Followed by 2 days of absolute hell and excruciating stomach pain and cramping below right of belly button. Since then the really bad pain has gone, but I've had sore to touch above my belly button and think I can feel a lump, was painful for a couple of days to point I couldn't sleep on sides. Docs palpated few days before I could feel lump, and felt nothing.  Anyone had a hernia they didn't know about until their gluten reaction inflamed it? Or is this just another lovely gluten sensitivity symptom?  Many thanks
