Lactose Intolerance Question

[gfpdx]

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.
