How Many Of You Had To Avoid Dairy At First?

I'm two weeks into gluten-free living. I had been pretty much asymptomatic before starting gluten-free. The first week, I felt rather bloated and gassy most days, which I found rather troubling. So after 8 days, I cut out dairy to see what would happen. I do feel better now, but of course I'm hoping that dairy will be a temporary elimination, and I'll be able to eat it again soon.

After almost a year of gluten free diet I still can't tolerate lactose....

But some are able to eat it again within 3 or 4 months. Depends on how quickly the tips of your villi heal.

During my daughter's endoscopy, they also checked for lactose intolerance. It showed that she was lactose intolerant albeit not too bad. GI doc recommended lactaid for 2 months whenever she had a large amount of dairy in a sitting. That was all we needed to do.

Hi, welcome to the board.

2 years after being gluten free I added in hard cheddar cheese with no problem and three years later I eat Greek yogurt every day, and can have all dairy with no problem. It may be shorter for you- everyone is different. I cook everything myself from whole foods (not the store, meaning "natural state" foods) and always bring my food with me wherever I go. You may have guessed that I am ultra-sensitive which I would never have believed before having lived it.

Patience- this takes time. Listen to your body and keep a detailed food log; that is the best advice I ever got.

good luck,

lisa

How did they check for lactose intolerance during a scope? I didn't realize this was possible.

I never eliminated dairy and still eat it with no problems. I guess I was one of the lucky ones! My mum, on the other hand, has had to eliminate casein.

I was severely lactose intolerant (couldn't even eat it with lactaid) for years before going gluten-free. Two months of the diet and I tried dairy with no problems.

It was actually a test on one of the biopsies where they check for the enzyme to process lactose. There were four or five other enzymes that they also checked. My daughter "officially" showed no damage but she had generalized dissacharidase deficiency . . . most of her sugar processing was low . . . that was read by the GI as "hidden" damage. That along with the positive blood test got her a positive diagnosis.

I had a great link about dissacharidase defiency . . . can't find it at the moment. I'll go look and post it if I can find it.

Edit:

OK . . . might have been helpful to spell it right . . . makes it much easier to find. Here it is . . .

Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is a fantastic link. I'm starting month 6 gluten-free and have become increasingly frustrated about avoiding raw veggies and anything with lactose. I'm hoping I'll heal quickly, but the references in this thread to one-two-and-three years of lactose intolerance are hopefully making my expectations more realistic.

yup - I had to eliminate dairy for about a year. Now, I am just starting to eat yogurt again, and cottage cheese, and all seems to be going well. There is hope! :)

It was a good 5 years for me and I can only tolerate small amounts now =/

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
