I'm just starting a gluten free diet. Today was my First Full gluten free day! haha Im so proud. Just been reading posts, alot of people seem to have problem with dairy that has celiac. Is this something that is developed or something people have had before being diagnosed? I currently dont have a huge issue with dairy products. I really dont want to have to quit that too! and Im dieing for something sweet like chocolate or cookies! any suggestions? that taiste good...

All celiacs are different, but when you read the posts, you are correct that many have problems w/dairy. I had problems w/dairy before the celiac problems. I bake w/soy milk, but many here have problems w/soy. Unfortunately, have never been able to eat chocolate so my sweets take on a different note. Since you are new to the gluten free diet (and good for you) you will need to have some ready made sweets to curb your desire for the gluten ones. I found it was just as easy to shop for the correct flours as it was searching for gluten free goodies (and just try reading that small print) and freezing them. Recipe conversions taste different not necessarily bad. My g/daughter is always ready to try 1 of my treats. The participants on this sight offer many interesting recipes. Continued success on your gluten free diet journey.

Hi

I am a vegetarian who loved chees e/dairy products but seemed to be having problems so went dairy free for a couple of years. My sister was diagnosed coeliac about 17 years ago and I was diagnosed ( still sort of in denial ) last year. Following the diagnosis I returned to dairy but to be honest although I love the taste etc don't feel it is helping. It's a bit of a chicken and egg situation. I have been told that some of the gut damage makes dairy intake difficult initially.

Comments welcome

I don't have mush of a problem with dairy..

But..having said that when I went gluten-free over 5 years ago I decided not to have milk just in case.

I kept off it for about 2 years, then found some lactase drops by Biocare which take out/reduce the lactose in milk..so I stuck with that if I wanted milk.

Now, 5 years down the line I can drink milk, normal milk aand I do get a slight reaction but nothing to worry about.

I just found that quitting it altogether until:

A: my tum had recovered

and

B: I had much more of an idea what was safe for me to eat..just getting to know products which contain gluten

..was the best thing to do.

But in this time I would eat cheese and have chocolate and they didn't seem to cause me much harm..but then I would only have a small amount..maybe 2 cubes of a bar per week or something.

Someone posted that they ate the really dark chocolate and so only needed to eat a little to curb their chocolate craving. You could chop it up for cookies ;) Just be sure its "allergy free".

Bake a bunch of cookies and freeze them. You know you can have them anytime without having to bake often. Lots of good recipes on the "baking/cooking" section. If you need a recipe, meet us over there and post it, we "bakers" can find you some.

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
