Lactose Intolerance Question

Looking for advice/experience related to celiac and lactose intolerance.I have been on a dairy free diet for three months and gluten free since I was diagnosed with Celiace disease 5 weeks ago. My bowel symptoms were greatly improved after 4 weeks gluten-free and I began to have yogurt everyday. After 6 days of yogurt bowel symptoms were bad today. Am thinking it is the dairy, but wasn't sure if the timing sounds right. Any advice from your experience of lactose issues with celiac is appreciated. Am missing dairy products :).

If you stop eating the yogurt you will probably figure it out right? Only thing is if you are getting gluten in the yogurt, which is possible. So maybe get off it and see if things improve? Then you just need to identify all the ingredients in the yogurt and eliminate them one at a time. Or, take the opposite approach and add just 1 ingredient at a time to your diet after you have stabilized again. If you find a trigger you eliminate it and wait until you are stabilized again and start again with the next ingredient on the list.

6 days is quite a while for symptoms of lactose intolerance to start though. I really think it would start much sooner than that, like the same day, or a few hours later.

ok follow the advise of the previous post + when you re - introduce a "guilty" food don't eat too much of it suddenly! For example eat 1/2 yoghurt on monday, then 1/2 on friday, then next week eat 1 every 2 days etc...slowly !

It does sound like dairy could be a problem for you, though it isn't necessarily lactose. For many, casein is the problem, or just dairy in general.

If you find that dairy is a no-no, you need not miss yogurt or other things which are traditionally made with dairy. For instance, Open Original Shared Link makes scrumptious dairy-free yogurt, ice cream and so forth. Other companies offer various kinds of non-dairy milk and related products.

You can also make your own rice/soy/nut milks, yogurts, ice creams, etc. Just Google up the recipes, and you'll have plenty of variations to choose from.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
