New Type Of Dairy Reaction?

I've been gluten-free for about three quarters of the year, and dairy free since about September. The gluten free diet remedied lifelong amennorhea, and the dairy free diet relieved my lifelong acne. Recently I started using butter on bread, thinking that it was very low in casein and may not pose a problem. But I started to get some strange bumps around my back and shoulder. They do not look like dermatitis herpatiformis, and they do not act like pimples. They itch before even showing up that much, and then I get the bumps in clusters, but if I keep trying to scratch they hurt. They don't itch terribly. They're fairly easy to ignore but I also notice some general transient itching in other parts my body where no bombs have appeared. I never used to have this sort of reaction to dairy, but I am wondering if it could be the butter. Has anyone had *new* symptoms relating to dairy after reintroducing it? These bumps also do not resemble eczema. I don't know what they are like. Any thoughts?

Well it could be the butter.? I used to get those itchy bumps that hurt like all get out when I scratched them, on my face, but they went away when I started B-12 shots. I have pernicious anemia. I also had eczema on my eyelids that really was sore. It went away too with the shots.

Could you be deficient in a vitamin or mineral? I guess you could cut out the butter and see what happens. Sure would be nice if we had an instant answer to all our symptoms - wouldn't it!

I have had skin reactions to dairy since going gluten-free and dairy lite.

no itching though. I seem to have similar reactions to seafood, so I think it is histamine.

have you tried Ghee versus butter as another variable?

      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...

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.

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      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!
