Help! Newly Gluten And Dairy Free...

So I just found out that I have celiac about two months ago, and I'm getting my lactose test on Jan 6. but it's quite clear that I can't eat dairy either without getting sick.

I'm 20 years old, 5'2'' and about 105lbs. Dairy is a staple part of my diet, especially since I found out I can't have gluten. I want to start feeling better and cut the dairy from my diet, but I can't afford to lose weight in the process.

Any good food/product ideas (that taste good)? Thank you!

Focus on high-quality calories... eggs, coconut milk (coconut oil is great for cooking), olive oil, nuts, seeds, nut butters, avocado, etc... Even if you can tolerate non-gluten grains (like corn, rice, millet, soy), they don't have as many nutrients and your body has to work pretty hard to digest them.

ps - Last night I made a pretty convincing substitute for a milk shake :P

- One can of coconut milk (full fat)

- 2-3 cups of frozen fruit (I used strawberries and peaches)

- A little almond milk to thin it out

- A little pure maple syrup to sweeten

Give at all a good run through the blender... if you use frozen fruit you don't even need to add ice cubes.

I was really missing ice cream before I figured this out!

Peanut Butter is a great high calorie food. There are also some AWESOME Coconut milk and soy ice creams out there. Kinnikinnick makes excellent gluten free/casein (dairy) free breads, bagels, muffins, cookies, pizza crusts, etc.... For cream cheese and sour cream, I recommend Tofutti brand substitutes. Soy yogurt is good with a Nana's cookie bar crumbled in it. Lara bars are raw, gluten free, dairy free, soy free, etc... Loaded nachos (with dairy free sour cream and cheese) offer some serious calories. Good luck! I am in the same boat. I am 5'3" and 107 lbs. so I completely understand.

My sister is like that too. In college she spent a semester in Ireland. Someone told her that the Irish think peanut butter is weird... so she packed several jars in her suitcase :lol:

You know... in Southeast Asia and West Africa, people do a lot of interesting things with peanuts. Peanut butter makes a nice addition to soup or tomato sauce. Just add a few spoonfuls when the liquid is boiling. You have to add quite a bit before you really taste the peanuts :P

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      HI Nancy, In your first post, you said that you were diagnosed by biopsy and blood test - this is what I was referring to: the blood test is for antibodies that are made during active disease. After a period on a strictly gluten-free diet, the antibodies return to low level. It is a good way of checking for accidental exposure if symptoms persist. If...

      I'm not saying this is what you have, but your description reminds me of Morgellons, which are not very well understood. Here is a review from a reputable source. If it seems similar to your experience, you could raise this question with your Dr. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/morgellons-disease

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hi Trent, no dairy. Other than good quality butter. I have been lactose free for years. No corn, sugar, even seasonings and spices. I don't eat out. I cook my own food.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, are you consuming dairy? Not sure if dairy is part of the carnivore diet.

After a period on a strictly gluten-free diet, the antibodies return to low level. It is a good way of checking for accidental exposure if symptoms persist. If you are reacting to foods that don't contain gluten, you may be reacting to something else. Alternatively, a condition called SIBO is common in people with coeliac disease, where there is an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. This can be tested for with a simple breath test. The main treatment is with a course of antibiotic. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply.  I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal allergy inflammation be contributing to my celiac inflammation? I am so careful, there is no way I could ingest gluten. For example, couple of months ago I tried a cough drop that says it was gluten free. I checked ingredients, it seemed fine. But just taking one of those caused me to have nausea, vomiting, and the same extreme abdominal pain. Have you ever heard of anyone else having symptoms like mine after being diagnosed celiac and strictly gluten free? The last episode I had like this was yesterday, after I ate a certified gluten-free coconut macaroon with a little chocolate on it. I have eaten coconut and chocolate before with no issue,  so I didn't see how I could all of a sudden have such a strong response.
