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

      Searching for the source - anyone have problems with Crunchmaster crackers?

      Yes it's so frustrating. Gluten is everywhere! Any airborne gluten possibilities? Home remodel projects? Any pets eating gluten (they eat, lick themselves, you pet them....). Sickest glutening I got was from taking care of my neighbor's chickens, they would get all excited, kick up the shavings which had their food in it, the coop would get filled with  airborne dust, I breathed it in).

      Celiac symptoms but negative endoscopy and antibody test + family history of gastro problems

      By NoriTori · Posted

      @Scott Adams No one said anything about eating gluten consistently until testing, the appointment was scheduled and an address was given. I don't even have access to the results as it stands. I was just told "everything looks fine, but slight irritation." I don't know if they took a biopsy because I have no access to the results. I don't know how many samples they took (I recently learned they're supposed to take more than one), I don't know what things looked like internally, it was just word of mouth and I didn't know any better to pry and get copies of everything. And I know! I also have chronic Anemia, never truly resolved UNTIL I went gluten free, and low vitamin D (fairly normal in black community), and low creatine (also resolved with gluten free diet). I plan to request a new dermatologist! As well as a referral to Gastro. Food/symptom diary is a great idea though. I have no way of cooking as it stands, so even just the basics wouldn't work for me.

      @NoriTori, "gluten intolerance" is a general term that can refer to either celiac disease or NCGS. NCGS is often referred to as "gluten sensitivity" for short. Though, admittedly, there is still a great deal of inconsistency in the use of terms by the general public.

      @trents A gluten intolerance is a real possibility! I never ruled it out, but am keen on finding out the EXACT cause. I'd want testing done again to be sure it's not celiac, or SIBO (which I've considered) or other digestive disorder. Celiac seems the most pertinent considering its implications.

      Thanks so much Scott. I would be incredibly grateful to the gluten gods if eliminating oats was the magic cure. In the meantime, it's nice to have moral support!
