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

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
