New Reactions To Dairy


samcarter

Recommended Posts

samcarter Contributor

So, I've been gluten free for about nine months, barring some slip ups here and there. Now it seems that dairy gives me the following reactions:

--instant nausea

--brain fog

--headache

--digestive issues the next day (C or D, depending)

I'm not surprised; as a kid I was a huge cheese addict and was constipated all the time and threw up a lot. But dairy hadn't bothered me as an adult here until now. I am dismayed. Now besides gluten, I have to cut out dairy. Huh.

Anybody else "develop" new reactions to foods after being gluten free for a while?

Yes. And some allergies lessened. And an extremely mild allergy to peaches became extreme.

Bodies are weird.

Uh oh. That makes me leery that my mild allergies to bananas, apples and green beans will flare up. I did notice last summer, when I was gardening, that I'd get hives just brushing against the green bean plants. Eating the cooked beans was no problem. But I started sending my 8 year old out to harvest the green beans. :D

Hello Samcarter,

Yep, I think the allergy was always there we just don't recognise themt until we got all the other ones out of our system. Like the wheat was making me so miserable I didn't notice I was having a lesser reaction to corn.

Also after getting an allergen out of my system if I go back I over-react. After getting dairy out of my system the smallest dose of lactic acid would send me running. I'll never do that again on purpose! The same with soy and grains. I just don't go there.

Take care,

I was already lactose intolerant but could still eat a select few items. That has narrowed down to aged cheese only now. Also cannot tolerate nitrates/ites and some teas give me severe muscle pain. The first one I just don't know about, I changed to Earl Gray and am just getting over the affects. Apparantly the bergamot can block potassium to your muscles. And I was drinking it all day! I don't do well with guar gum or artificial sweeteners.

So it is not uncommon just annoying.

I am in the same boat. It took me 4 months of gluten free to start reacting to dairy products. Just like you, I didn't have D until the next morning so it made it hard to think about what all I ate the day before , so I kept a food diary. It didn't take long to see that whenever I had a gluten free pizza or Alfredo the night before, I had D the next morning. I've also had to go soy lite and now low fructose to finally feel 99% (there's always accident now and then cc etc.) I always miss cheese but have found that feeling better is worth it and don't think about it so much anymore. I have seen posters who are able to add back in dairy after healing so maybe that will be us someday?

That just happened to me too! I just put up a post for dairy-free advice! I have only been on the gluten-free diet for 2 months, and I have seen many people on this site gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, etc. and wondered if I would be next. Needless to say I am now gluten-free and dairy-free. Agian, like the other posts you have already recieved, I have had small issues with dairy to begin with, but I still ate it. If I eat it now, my body reacts as if I had eaten gluten.

Probably not the smartest thing I've done, but I tested myself twice this week with a dairy challenge. The first was with some regular cheese (melted) on homemade corn tortilla chips. I definitely felt nauseated almost immediately after eating; the next morning woke up with a sinus headache, nasal discharge plus post-nasal drip, and I've noticed more muscle aches than I usually have.

I then gave myself a couple of days of no dairy, to clear out my system a bit.

Last night I made my husband's favorite casserole, which is gluten free but does have 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/4 cup half and half in it...and had a little queasiness, nothing horrible, this morning had a runny nose. Plus gas and D.

When I get glutened, I get much more brain fog. And I have an overwhelming urge to sleep. And the hot flashes, which didn't seem to happen with dairy.

So...intolerance to casein, or lactose, or a plain old dairy allergy? The nasal stuff did get better after I took my daily Claritin (for other allergies).

*sigh* Probably the celiac was masking the problems with dairy all these years. Time to go back to my dairy-free cookbooks. It stinks because a lot of gluten-free mixes for breads and cakes have dairy in them. My Bette Hagman book, which I was looking through last night, has lots of lovely bread recipes...which all call for dried milk powder. I love how she says soy baby formula can be a substitute for the milk powder! I used that with all three of my kids, it's naaaasty!

ang, which teas were causing you muscle problems? I drink Morning Thunder (Celestial Seasonings), Sleepytime, sometimes Peppermint and Green Tea. I have been having back and shoulder pain, but that is most likely from picking up my huge 2 year old!

      AIP really worked for me as well.

      Hi @terrymouse Generally, after a Celiac Seriology Blood Test, if something anomalous shows up, the follow-up will be a Gastroscope. Your Endocrinonogist will be looking to see if you still have (Villi). Villi are Tenticles/Hairs that are prevalent throughout the small intestine; their function is to extract nutrients, vitamins and water. The absense of Villi will typically result in watery bowl movements, other telltale signs being, lethargy, feeling cold, always hungry (valuable nutrients are being bypassed). I was diagnosed 12 years ago. One other thing associated with an AutoImmune Disease, they generally have a companion, in my case I have Hypothyroidism, other may have Hyperthyroidism (Hashimoto's). Others may get Eczema, or some other skin disorder, usually due to not getting the proper nutrition your body needs.   HTH Mark.

      Thank you Knitty Kitty,   I have all the information for the nutritionist sitting in front of me, but I've procrastinated.   Between you and Scott - I'll contact him tomorrow and get started on a better me.   Thank you both for all the support and information.

      Hi, @jeriM, I can attest to Celiac and eye problems being connected!  There's a higher rate of Sjogren's Syndrome in Celiac people than in those without celiac disease.  Sjogren's Syndrome causes dry eyes and can even lead to dry mouth which can alter taste and smell.  Have your doctor check for Sjogren's.  Correct low Vitamin D, which regulates the immune system.  Talk to your nutritionist about including in your diet plenty of Omega Three's. Omega Three's help keep our eyes moist and lubricated.  You know how oil floats on water, same thing with our eyes!  Fun fact:  Our eyes are derived from the same sort of tissues as our digestive tract in a developing fetus. Oh, check your thyroid function, too.  Hashimoto's thyroiditis frequently occurs with Sjogren's. Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster in celiac disease.  I also have Diabetes type two.   Discuss with your nutritionist the benefits of a low histamine diet.  A low histamine diet can help reduce inflammation and gets those inflammation markers down.  I like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that promotes intestinal health. Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Ah, Scott,    Ha ha!  Thats almost a reasonable assumption given the prices during the shortage.  However, our eggs?  We always gave them away to friends and seniors we know, so no mansion here.  Now we have to buy eggs like everyone else.   The house we found, we loved so much that it made it worth it for us to give up the chickens.  A hard decision.
