Milk?! Thoughts, Veterans, Anyone?

Hi everyone,

I've been gone for awhile working on a Master's degree... sigh. I've also been very well in the intestine dept., but I just spent three horrible glutened nights! The ONLY different thing is some Cumberland Farms milk. Does one have to be careful of milk? Or has anyone reacted to the Rice Chex? I hate these mysterious culprits and I KNOW when I've had gluten; it's like nothing else!

Thank you!

lisa

Did you make sure you ate the new rice chex that is certified gluten free? Old boxes might not be. Some people with celiac react to milk/casein the same as gluten.

I find my sensitivity to dairy to be pretty sporadic. Some days I can get away with dairy, other days forget it ! I can handle a little gluten free pizza with cheese but milk and cookies is too much (ugh, I love gluten-free chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk). Sometimes I can handle a Dairy Queen sundae, others day I get mild stomach cramps a little while after. Dairy does seem to bloat me a little.

I dunno if it's the lactose of the casein. It might even be linked to a mild glutening - more susceptibility after (my family is not gluten free, just me - so I'm always possibly dealing with cross contamination).

Dairy sensitivity does seem fairly common amoung the celiac crowd.

That is how mine goes too. I can't drink milk or eat icecream, but I am ok with butter or sour cream.

I found this on a site about lactose intolerance:

LACTOSE CONTENT OF COMMON DAIRY FOODS

(The amounts shown for lactose vary because ingredients in products can vary, affecting the lactose content.)

PRODUCT LACTOSE IN GRAMS

Whey, dry (1 oz.)....................................................19-21

Milk, acidophilus skim (1 cup)..................................11

Yogurt, whole milk (1 cup)........................................10-12

Milk, whole (1 cup)...................................................9-14

Buttermilk (1 cup)....................................................9-12

Ice Milk (3/4 cup).....................................................8

Yogurt, lowfat (1 cup)...............................................5-19

Velveeta cheese (11/2 oz.).......................................4

Ice Cream (3/4 cup).................................................3-8

Orange sherbet (3/4 cup).........................................1-2

Half-and-Half, cream, or sour cream (2 Tbs.)..............1

Most hard cheeses (11.5 oz.)...................................1

American cheese, pasteurized processed (1'/2 oz.)....0-6

Ricotta cheese (1/2 cup)..........................................0-6

Cottage cheese, creamed (1/2 cup)..........................0-4

Cream cheese (1.5 oz.)............................................0-1

So that could explain why some things bother us more than others.

Generally speaking I mostly drink soy milk or hemp milk (though hemp is kind of expensive I think). I like Living Harvest. Their vanilla is very creamy and it has a slighty nutty taste. It tastes different than reg milk though and not sure everyone would like it.

Thank you both. No, I don't have a problem with dairy. I was dairy-free for 2 years when I first went off gluten and it's been back in for a year now with no issues. I think this company might have some cc issues because I've never bought this type of milk before. And, yes, the Rice Chex say "gluten-free", though I don't trust much processed food- make most things myself and rarely eat any grains actually!

The mystery continues but thank you for your replies!

I was wondering what the cows were eating, since on other sections of this blog it is said that mothers that breastfeed can pass gluten in their milk... anyone want to speculate on this possibility ?

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
