Lactose - Casein Intolerance

Does anyone here who is lactose or casein intolerant have a delayed reaction to them? I'm trying to figure out if that is what is going on with me. I wonder if you can react a day or two later?

Thanks! Dinah

Hi Dinah,

Yes. A day or two later is common with any kind of food intolerance including casein. That's what can make it so tricky to tell if you have one :unsure:

Hi Dinah, I am going through this same issue myself. I'm trying to figure out if casein intolrance or LI is still causing me problems. For me, sometimes I react within a half hour of eating dairy (especially if its alot) other times its the next morning or afternoon. Delayed intolerances are so hard to figure out. I've started keeping a food journal again so I can trace back 3 days. I read that intolerances can show up as late as 72 hours after injesting whatever it is that you are intolerant to, so a day or two is within that realm. I hope we can both figure it out soon! :)

Usually, food reactions can take anytime between the first 24 hours and three days

I am permanently lactose intolerant and very much so. I just discovered that

some candies have lactose now:

Hershey's chocolate bar

3 Mustketeers

Reese's peanut butter cups

I don't recall "lactose" ever being an ingredient - I learned this because I

ate too much Halloween candy and had to keep running to bathroom

more than usual. I read the labels after I consumed the candy and to

my surprise lactose is in there. I don't know if they always had lactose

in them and just didn't print it on the label or if it's a new change; I feel

it's new because I've eaten candy like this before and no problems and I've been

lactose intolerant for over 30 years now. So all Halloween weekend I

am picking on chocolate candy and it's acting like a laxative. I was

wondering why I was making bowel movements at 2 AM. And lactose

reaction is funny - it all depends on what other food you've consumed before it

and how much lactase your body is still making. Everyone is different and

has different levels of lactose intolance. I know I need my food to be 100%

lactose free.

About chocolate candy and lactose - all milk chocolate will have some lactose simply from the milk that is one ingredient. But lactose is also commonly used as a sweetener in chocolate, so some chocolates will have even more lactose because of that.

I can tolerate the small amount found naturally in the milk chocolate, but when

they add it as an ingredient, I cannot.

I am only mentioning this as a source of lactose in case someone has lactose issues and didn't

know it was in chocolates as an ingredient and not just naturally occurring.

I'm kind of a wierd LI. I usually react quickly to any milk but I can tolerate some amounts. I can have butter and aged cheeses, even cream cheese but not fresh milk or cream, no ice cream. When I was experimenting with the enzymes, I would still react but it was delayed for a few hours, meantime I swelled up like a balloon. Yuck...

I am exactly like you. Can tolerate the milk in a cappuccino but no more, no cream or ice cream, but cheeses, yogurt, sour cream, etc. are all A.O.K. (although I still avoid milk chocolate).

What symptoms are people having to casein? I'm trying to figure out what foods I can tolerate and can't.

I react with bloat, intestinal cramps, gas, big D. I also get congested, have a thick throat and tiredness. My DD reacts differently. She has a stomach ache, congestion, tiredness and worst case, vomitting.

The things is we're each different and can present with different symptoms for the same trigger. You would do well to just go off dairy for awhile and write down how you feel. Then you can try it again and note how it makes you feel. If you are sensitive, you will have a definate difference in the way you feel.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
