Dairy Dairy Dairy, Say It Ain't So...

So here it is...brain fog, sinus pain, headaches, and stomach cramps - and rapid hearbeat and feeling like crap. This is in a controlled gluten free environment. Does this sound like dairy allergy ? No rash - just no energy and feeling terrible. I don't normally eat much dairy anyway but I do like cheese ! Anyway, just wondering. I had some asthma like symptoms a few days back that sorta scared me so the only dairy I've been having is the half & half in my coffee. It felt like pressure on my chest and I thought I was getting sick or something.

Oh, and some more reflux issues, more than normal.

Anyone have symptoms such as these ? They do *seem* to be tied to dairy... :huh:

Its happened to me--last time was with cheese. Supposedly sharp cheddar is safe for many who have celiac but not for me. Probably not for you either. The only dairy I seem to be able to eat with no problem is organic, unsweetened yogurt. Even Kefir seems to be a problem for me.

That and an allergy to yeast and tomatoes and peppers makes eating even gluten-free pizza everyone raves about kind of out for me. Hope you don't have as many food sensitivities as I...

Am sorry you had to go through this. It really is unpleasant. But at least you know what caused it.

I find taking a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water helps counteract some of the worst symptoms of food sensitivities by the way. Repeat an hour or so later if necessary. Cleavers also can help your body since its one of the best herbal lymphatic drains there is. Again a teaspoon in a cup or more of hot (boiling) water. Let sit 10 minutes or more then strain.

It sounds like a reaction to just about anything. Have you tried eliminating dairy to see if you feel better? If that doesn't work you might want to try eliminating other catagories such as soy or nightshades or peanuts etc. People can become allergic or intolerant of just about any food and have the symtoms you've described. A food log is about the best way to track down foods that are causing you problems.

I've been lactose intolerant for many years & your reaction sure could be to milk. I can eat any aged cheese & a little butter but nothing else. In my coffee I use Silk Vanilla Soy. I also cook with it. You can use it in cooking just like milk for any dish with a sweet taste. With dishes that are salty or savory like mashed potatos, use Silk Organic. You can buy this product in any supermarket. The chocolate soy is yummy!!

Are we related? LOL :lol:

I get a headache, sinus pressure and stomach pain. Breaks my face out too. It was a very sad day for me when I realized that I needed to avoid dairy. I even asked my doctor to tell me it was damaging to me, like gluten. Dairy has been really hard for me, but I feel so much better without it. But I have to tell myself everyday not to eat it, it's a psychological thing. Much more so than gluten.

Yes, same thing for me. I could eat dairy for 6 months after I went gluten free and then all of a sudden, my celiac symptoms returned along with a really stuffed up nose and acne. I cut out dairy and all the problems went away within a month. Sorry, I know this isn't fun on top of being gluten free, but you really do get used to living without the dairy too.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
