Dairy Issues

I am 10 1/2 months gluten free now and mostly feel better. Gone are the canker sores, leg cramps, eczema. The only thing is I still have alot of gas (the kind that my family makes horrible jokes about, this doesn't bother me). I also still don't have normal BM's. The only time I get the D now is when I get accidently glutened or overdo the dairy. Now its just not D but still not formed. I tried giving up dairy a few weeks ago, didn't see 100% improvement so started adding small amounts of hard cheeses and butter back into diet. Thought that was fine since same not D but not normal BM either. Yesterday, I had 1 TBS of Parmesan on my gluten-free pasta at lunch and 1TBS cheddar plus 1 TBS sour cream on my tortilla soup at dinner. This morning I feel glutened again and I know everything I ate was gluten free. So my question is, am I not giving it enough time with Completely dairy free? I'm guessing its probably casein and not lactose since I had maybe at the most 1-2 grams of lactose in those meals if any. So is two weeks enough time to know if its casein/dairy or should I go longer or look for another intolerance? BTW my mom was diagnosed lactose intolerant, she still has symptoms (wont listen to me about testing for celiac) plus she's 1/4 native american (she looks like more than a 1/4) and thats why the doc simply said LI. When she eats dairy she gets all itchy and her tounge feels swollen. This is driving me nuts trying to figure it out!

Hi Kathy, I'd try going dairy-free for longer than a couple of weeks - more like 3-4 months to see if you notice anything. Also, keep a food diary and see what kinds of patterns develop over the next few months. Hopefully that will help you figure it out.

Thanks Janet, I was faithfully keeping a food diary up until August, so I need to do that again. I do remember everytime I had pizza, I usually had D in the morning. I always blamed it on the gluten-free crust, such as the vinegar or gelatin etc in the different recipe's I would try. Since my D usually shows up the next day, does that point more to Casein instead of LI? On all the internet sites about LI it shows symptoms within 30 minutes to 2 hours. Sometimes I get a reaction in an hour, such as when I tried pumpkin flavored yogurt last week (i did make sure it was gluten-free) but usually i have gas then the D comes the next morning. Theres not alot of info out there on casein except info for autistic children, not much about adults.

I have very different symptoms for casein and lactose. A lot of medications have lactose and I usually get cramps and diahrrea. Casein gives me horrible brain fog and constipation and I can actually relate to the symptoms of autism because that's a familiar reaction. For me, it's pretty immedate on the casein. The lactose thing usually shows up a few hours later or the next day.

I guess you could test the casein vs. lactose thing by drinking lactose free milk or using ghee which is supposed to be casein free. You could also try goat or sheep products and see if that makes a difference. This site has a comparasion of the two that might be helpful: Open Original Shared Link

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
