Lactose And Casein Intolerance

This Thursday I have my first GI appointment and hope to get many answers there. I'm trying to figure out why it is I seem to be able to handle drinking milk (in cereal or icecream) yet when I eat yogurt I do not handle it well at all. From what I've read, a person with a lactose intolerance problem may be able to eat yogurt, but my issue seems to be the reverse.

Does anyone have any insight on this or ideas on why this is?

Thanks so much!

Karen

Stumped me on that one. I'm completely opposite. The only dairy I can tolerate is yogurt, because of the bacteria that "eats" the lactose.

I hope you find some answers!

You might be reacting to yeast in the yogurt, or some other ingredient. Some flavored yogurts have gluten in them also. Checking the ingredients in the yogurt would be the first step.

sorry... not yeast: bacteria. the predominant bacteria in yogurt is usually a species of Lactobacillus and Streptococcus thermophilus. lately a species from Bifidobacteria have been used (as there are many old wives tales regarding their healthful benefits...).

even so, you still might have an allergy to some of these... :)

do read the label; this is GREAT advice in any case -- many dairy products (especially low-fat varieties) utilize gluten-containing thickeners. we have found several brands of cottage and ricotta cheeses that contain gluten -- as well as sour cream!!

alternatively, the pH of yogurt is fairly low compared to other dairy products (around mid-4 if i remember...), so it may be an acid-issue. does it happen with sour cream or creme fraiche?

The yogurt I've been eating is organic, lowfat, and plain flavored.

The ingredients say: cultured pasteurized organic lowfat milk, pectin, vitamin D3. Then it says: Contains our exclusive blend of six active cultures including L. Acidophilus, Bifidus, L Casei, and L Rhamnosus.

If milk (or icecream) bothers me, I haven't noticed much of a difference between days I have milk or icecream and any other day, but I certainly notice a difference on yogurt days.

Thanks for your replies!

Karen

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I haven't taken blood test for deficiencies yet since self diagnosed but I started a Multi vitamin from reading consumerlabs Nature Made Multivitamin For Her 50+ with No Iron, Womens Multivitamin for Daily Nutritional Support, Multivitamin is actually good for men compared to the mens version since im 47 I figured this should be ok. I also just started taking Kirkland Signature Super B-Complex with Electrolytes which consumerlabs which is an independent lab that tests what is actually in it states this is a good balanced B complex vitamin where its not too much of any vitamin for you to take.  I was thinking of taking the Gluten test after the summer  ut I think if I reintroduce gluten for this test I will be so sick and make things worse. I heard there is a blood test coming in a year that they add gluten to the blood to test which would be nice but prob in a year or 2.

      gluten-free self diagnosed journey so far as well as what triggers. Eye crying like peeling onions?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I have been on this gluten-free journey a few months now and I work in a deli so I'm around gluten all day. I noticed sometimes once a day my eyes tear as if I am peeling onions. I think it is an allergy to gluten. Anything to take for this issue? I heard it might be low vitamin so I started to take a multi vitamin that I found from consumerlabs and started a vitamin B complex for energy issue. As I continue my journey 2x this month I have been careful with gluten and ate out 2x that wee gluten friendly and had no issues so now I feel better when I go out the few places I can eat gluten-free and not get sick. However I have been trying to track what triggered me the 2x this month where one time I introduced a gluten-free pretzel PB filled and no other ingredient in it bothered me. The other time I think it might have been due to high fiber intake due to introducing mission gluten-free tortilla wraps. Next week I will be on vacation to LBI and I already scoped out 2 places gluten-free so I am hoping I have a good time with the family. In August we plan on going to Aruba and I found a few gluten-free places as well but I am nervous for any cross contamination especially during flights to and from which makes me nervous. ANy help suggestions. Thanks

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The pharmaceutical industry (including BIG PHARMA! 😉) is very good about cleaning procedures before different drugs might be made using the same machinery. I don't believe cross contamination would be something to worry about, otherwise people with serious allergies, for example to antibiotics, would have serious issues with prescriptions drugs.

      Thanks for sharing that site! Do you know if that site has any information about manufacturing/possible cross contact on it? I can't find it. When I have called manufacturers, most of them say they can't guarantee no cross contact in manufacturing (except Lannett, Mylan and possible Amneal, which aren't available near me).
