Should I Go Dairy Free?

I start the gluten-free diet in 4 days, I have seen conflicting opinions about if Celiac and Lactose intolerance allways go together. I was thinking of doing the Gluten free for 3 months, and then if there was not enough or no improvement to stop the dairy as well. Is this the right way to start?

Thanks

If I were you I'd go dairy-free from the start.

Better than wishing you had later on.

Many celiacs find they're fine w/ dairy w/in 6mos.

Hi;

Yes , I took out Dairy and Soy as well.

I really make sure that all my Food is Gluten Free and Peanut, tree nut, Fish,Shell Fish , Honey free and that they are not CC'd Crossed Contaminated in a Facility that produces these foods.

I do not worry about CC with Dairy and Soy definatly Gluten. ( that is the recommendation of my Nutrisionist).

I would make sure that you are not having food allergies as well , You might want to get tested by an Allergist.

What ever you decide to do, what I would NOT recommend you do is replace a lot of your gluten foods with loads more dairy! Some people make that mistake in the beginning. So if you decide to keep dairy in your diet for now, just stick to moderate amounts.

If I were starting it all again, I would do both at once. Then if at some point you want to add milk back in, do so. IMO it is mentally easier to take it all out then test 1 at a time rather than take 1 out at a time and still not be there.

I have to agree. I cut out dairy and gluten at the same time at first, then went back to dairy because I thought it didn't bother me. But now, I realize it does, and it's much harder this time around to wrap my head around another food I can't eat... so, do it now and stick to it for 6 mos or so. It'll be easier in the long run.

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Morgan Tiernan · Posted

      Hi all! Ive been away for a while navigating this new illness and also studying at university. But im back with so more updates and info, thank you all for your help and support.    Update: I suffered with an infection of my dermatitis herpetiformis a month or so ago. This resulted in a trip to a&e with an extremely swollen face, and a 2 week dose of doxycycline. Of course the infection went down but my dermatitis herpetiformis still remains to pop up every now and again. However, I’m coming up to almost a year being gluten free and I can honestly say the outbreaks are less often and more mild. But I’ve been eating extremely strict on a gluten-free diet (not much eating out and very cross contamination aware), so fingers crossed this continues.  As I am UK based, I have finally got through to dermatology and rheumatology in the NHS (no more private appointments which is great!) She was amazing and agreed on what sounds like dermatitis herpetiformis. However, she has also diagnosed me with chronic urticaria (hives) which will explain the swelling of my face, eyes, lips, and even sometimes tongue! So might be an allergy on the case, or perhaps another autoimmune condition due to the undiagnosed coeliac until this year. A skin biopsy has now been arrange for next month which is positive (there’s talks of me eating gluten for a day to activate the rash also, scary but they will have medication on site!)  Currently, I’m feeling more positive about my diagnosis and am so thankful to my hospital for the ongoing support I wasn’t able to get from my GP.  Things are looking up!

      Does anyone else have seborrheic dermatitis

      By Morgan Tiernan · Posted

      Hi there! This is something I’ve often wondered too! I’m still going through the process of getting an official dermatitis herpetiformis diagnosis, however I’ve been battling for 3 years and the dermatologists are pretty certain it’s dermatitis herpetiformis/celiac disease with it’s classic appearance and symptoms (it’s nasty stuff!) About 2 years ago before dermatitis herpetiformis was on the cards, I suffered with a terrible episode of seb dermatitis, it was absolutely everywhere and was probs left undiagnosed for months before I could get in with a dermatologist! I used ketaconazole and it seemed to do the trick. However, knowing what we do now, the dermatitis herpetiformis was definitely aggravating/causing this and I found that it was the use of too many steroid creams (they thought I had eczema) and heavy moisturisers bothering my dermatitis herpetiformis.  Since being gluten free for a year, I haven’t really suffered with an episode of the seb dermatitis for a while. Just trying to navigate the dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks now.  But definitely feel there could be a correlation!

      Anyone understand genetic testing

      By JD-New to Celiac · Posted

      Although diagnosed with celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis, I was curious about the celiac genetics and had that testing done on my own. Unfortunately, the lab does not explain the results and any doctor I have asked said I would need to see someone specializing in genetics. I was hoping someone out there might help me understand. Here is what came back and although I understand the HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8, I wasn't sure what the variants mean and why they repeat twice. Someone said it was a double marker meaning both of my parents gave me copies. I also read having this combination makes my celiac potentially much worse. HLA DQ2 - Positive | HLA DQ8 - Negative HLA Variants Detected: HLA DQA1*05 and again HLA DQA1*05 HLA DQB1*0201 and again HLA DQB1*0201

      What should tTG IgA be if Gluten Free?

      By JD-New to Celiac · Posted

      Understanding that normal is <15, I started off with 250+, then using the same lab it took two years to get to 11, the last test was 3. So, it jumped back up for some reason which is why I suspected gluten in my diet somewhere. I do not do dairy, eggs, oats, or soy. I am vegan and gluten free, and take numerous supplements with the help of this forum.
