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 =/

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
