If You Are Dairy-free, What Are Your Reactions?

I've been gluten free since 8/08, but relied heavily on cheese and yogurt to fill the "comfort food" gap. Recently I've been having the same symptoms plus some new ones, that I've linked to dairy:

--Brain fog

--Tiredness, lethargy

--Joint pain (shoulders, mostly)

--Tingling in feet

--Muscle spasm

These seem to lessen and disappear in some cases when I completely avoid dairy. Yesterday I had some ice cream at my son's birthday (should have gotten up and gotten my coconut milk ice cream, but was being lazy) and the shoulder pain returned.

Is it possible for dairy to act like gluten on a person's body?

Personally, my symptoms are fatigue, gas, loose BM's, about 4-6 inches of belly bloat, and migraines. I wouldn't be able to say either way if your symptoms are dairy or something else, but if you only have them after eating dairy, and only at that time, then they probably are.

      Food Allergies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's strange to see two very different results in what appears to be a single blood test--one is positive and one is negative for a celiac disease test. Are these results separated by time? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Is Sertraline manufactured by Cipla gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
