New Reactions To Dairy

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,

OptimisticMom42

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!

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
