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.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
