Unusual Question


Rebecca's mom

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am not sure if this is due to celiac disease or something else. I have NEVER been lactose intolerant. I have DH, but my bloodwork came back negative for celiac disease - since the 2 are associated with each other, I have been on a GFD for the past year. I haven't had any problems with any dairy products until just recently. I am wondering if it is possible to develop LI this long after initiating a GFD.

I should also mention that I have been on a pretty intensive dose of Bactrim for the past 6 weeks. Normally, I don't have any problem taking antibiotics, but I am wondering if the length of time combined with the dosage might be what is contributing to my stomach feeling queasy, instead of a lactose intolerance. I am taking the Bactrim to clear up the last few stubborn sores of my DH, so I can probably back off of the dosage if I need to.

Has anyone else had anything remotely like this happen to them? I don't have a problem with the gluten-free diet, but I love my dairy products - that would be MUCH harder for me to give up!!!!!!

Thanks!

It's funny you should post this, because I'm suspecting I have developed dairy issues. I've only been gluten free for about 9 months, and up until recently I was eating cheese, ice cream, yogurt, and having no problems. Then a few weeks ago, I noticed that I'd get nauseated after eating something with cheese on it, and the day after eating dairy I'd wake up with a runny nose and sinus issues.

Now, it's possible that I always had dairy issues but the celiac masked it. Maybe my body was so busy reacting to the gluten that it took this long for my body to start objecting to the dairy.

I'm also considering that we just got through about a month and a half of a stomach virus (possibly e coli from our well) in the house, so maybe that contributed. But in the meantime, I'm using coconut milk in my chai and avoiding dairy as much as possible.

I had a similar situation where I was gluten-free for almost a year before I started getting sick from dairy. Lactaid helped for awhile, but eventually I had to go off dairy completely. My GI says I may have developed an allergy to dairy.

I had mondo lactose intolerance while I was recovering. For me, it got progressively better, but I still can't eat a big bowl of ice cream without thinking twice. If you think about it, it makes sense that lactose intolerance and celiac disease goes together--lactase (the enzyme that breaks down lactose) is made and works at the villus lining of the intestines. If all else fails, you can check into the over the counter enzyme replacements if you don't want to give up dairy all together. If you do give up dairy, make sure you are getting good calcium intake!!! Celiac Disease predisposes us to osteoporosis as well!

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too.  I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't  wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.

      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.

      Mayo is great and yes I had the same experience.  They take you seriously and they check everything.  I to wish other Dr's cared that much. I sure hope it's not refractory celiac also.
