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.

      Malt vinegar

      Yes, unfortunately malt vinegar can definitely trigger a strong reaction in people with celiac disease. Malt vinegar is typically made from barley, which contains gluten, and unlike distilled white vinegar, it is not considered gluten-free. Even a small amount — especially if you’ve been strictly gluten-free for years — can cause a more intense reaction becau...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      A diagnosis of Refractory Celiac Disease Type 2 is a lot to absorb, especially if you feel like the severity wasn’t clearly communicated earlier. It’s understandable to feel shocked and frustrated. RCD Type 2 does require close specialist care, often with a gastroenterologist who has experience managing complex celiac cases, and sometimes coordination wit...

      Celiac Disease, Lymphocytic colitis and Bowel rupture

      I’m so sorry you’ve been through all of that — that’s an incredibly complex history. While methotrexate is widely used at low weekly doses for autoimmune conditions, it can, in rare cases, cause serious gastrointestinal side effects, including ulceration, mucosal injury, or even perforation. That said, a spontaneous sigmoid rupture from methotrexate at 15 m...

      Malt vinegar

      Yes, I've reacted to malt anything . . . it does come from barley. I'm super careful to avoid anything containing malt or even maltodextrin unless it's labeled from corn.

      Malt vinegar

      Having avoided gluten well for many years I think I may have had a salad with Malt Vinegar and it was one of the worst 'attacks' I have experienced. I just want to know if anyone else has been so badly affected by malt vinegar.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, unfortunately malt vinegar can definitely trigger a strong reaction in people with celiac disease. Malt vinegar is typically made from barley, which contains gluten, and unlike distilled white vinegar, it is not considered gluten-free. Even a small amount — especially if you’ve been strictly gluten-free for years — can cause a more intense reaction because your body is no longer accustomed to exposure. Many people report significant symptoms after accidental ingestion, including abdominal pain, diarrhea, fatigue, or flu-like feelings. You’re not alone in that experience. It may help to be especially cautious with salad dressings, chips, sauces, and restaurant foods, where malt vinegar is sometimes used.

It’s understandable to feel shocked and frustrated. RCD Type 2 does require close specialist care, often with a gastroenterologist who has experience managing complex celiac cases, and sometimes coordination with hematology because of the immune cell changes involved. Focusing on nutrition is absolutely important — many people benefit from working with a registered dietitian who specializes in celiac disease to help address malabsorption, weight loss, and vitamin or mineral deficiencies. You’re doing the right thing by seeking information and support. Make sure you feel comfortable asking your care team direct questions about your biopsy results, treatment plan, and monitoring strategy — you deserve clarity and a coordinated approach.

      Celiac Disease, Lymphocytic colitis and Bowel rupture

      I’m so sorry you’ve been through all of that — that’s an incredibly complex history. While methotrexate is widely used at low weekly doses for autoimmune conditions, it can, in rare cases, cause serious gastrointestinal side effects, including ulceration, mucosal injury, or even perforation. That said, a spontaneous sigmoid rupture from methotrexate at 15 mg weekly is extremely uncommon. In people with celiac disease — especially refractory celiac — there can already be underlying intestinal inflammation or altered mucosal integrity, which might theoretically increase vulnerability, but there isn’t strong published evidence clearly linking stable celiac disease to a markedly higher risk of methotrexate-related bowel perforation. Other factors such as concurrent inflammation, vascular compromise, infection, steroid use, or microscopic colitis may also contribute. It would be reasonable to review the case with a gastroenterologist familiar with refractory celiac and possibly a rheumatologist, and to report the event as a potential adverse drug reaction. I’d also be very interested to hear if others in the community have had similar experiences.
