Not Sure If It's Gluten Or Lactose Free Milk

I've been on a gluten free diet for about two months now, and though it hasn't taken everything away, it has helped some.

This past weekend, I decided to be adventurous (aka stupid) and try out a cereal that said 'wheat free'; little did I know this doesn't mean gluten free. Around the same time I started eating the cereal, I started consuming lactose free milk.

Since I was little, milk has given me gas (sorry to be blunt) and when I got older, it made me nauseous and bloated so I took it out of my diet. I can handle small amounts of cheese or dairy in baked goods, but not straight up.

Anyhow, ever since I started having the cereal that, I just discovered, has a lot of gluten and started consuming lactose free milk, I have been sick every morning after breakfast. Cramping, burning, having to go to the bathroom a lot, gassy...the works, it's so annoying.

I'm going to take out the gluten first, because I think that was it (since I haven't had gluten in 2 months and haven't felt this bad since). But has anyone ever reacted like this to LACTOSE FREE milk? I was recently tested for a casein allergy and don't have that, so I can't understand how it could be the lactose free milk. OR does it sound like I've been glutened? Which I have, just don't know if the gluten is really making me feel this bad...

Maybe you have an intolerance to Carageenan. I can't drink ANY of the nut milks or even rice milk because they have Carageenan in them...

be well B)

They're talking about normal milk with the lactose taken out, not an alternative milk.

In answer to your question, joyful, I think you got glutened, but I would lay off the milk until you feel better anyway, THEN try it again with gluten-free cereal.

I would guess it's the cereal if you have no milk intolerances other than lactose. Maybe remove both from your diet for a few days then reintroduce the lactose free milk.

I drink Lactaid everyday and don't have any problems.

That too! I think it's the brand name of a line of products designed for the 'lac-tarded'.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.
