Lactose intolerance can give you bad GI symptoms yes.

Lot of celiac have it, because when the gut gets messed up by gluten, the gut loses its ability to digest lactose bacause the gut can no longer make lactase.

If you are gluten free for a while, your gut restores and is again able to make lactase and therefor digest lactose.

How long that takes on average I dont know.

Kraft Cheese has a lot of lactose in it, I reckon.

There are supplements with lactase in it so you can eat lactose after taking such a supplement, but those supplements have sometimes maltodextrin in it, which can come from wheat and therefor cause problems for very sensitive celiacs.

Thank you so much for your reply. Do you know of any good, reliable websites that deal with Lactose Intolerance? Sometimes doing a random search on the web turns up unreliable information.

Thanks again for your help!

Sincerely,

David

And there are a lot of topics on this celiac.com forum about lactose too, because a lot of celiac have it:

If you have more questions, just ask. :)

Also if avoiding milk, cheese and everything else with lactose in it doesnt help you,

you might consider histamine-intolerance.

That can cause bad GI symptoms too.

I have this too and Im 100% sure its because of celiac hurting my gut over the years when I didnt know I had celiac and ate gluten.

Histamine is found in:

Cheese, Processed Meats, Bananas, Tomatoes, Tuna, Smoked Fish,Wine, Beer and other things.

Have a look at this website:

Its a commercial site for a anti-histamine supplement, but it has good info on it.

I used that suppelment and although it gives realy good relief after eating something rich in histamine it isnt a miracle pill.

Plus its quite expensive in my opinion.

So first try eating lactose-intolerant, if thats not enough try eating histamine-low foods for a while to see if that works.

No need for the expensive supplement if you avoid the foods that have a lot of histamine in them.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your replies and you help with this. Its just been a little overwhelming, I feel also though I’ve already put so much effort into researching celiac disease. Though I’ve learned a lot, I got frustrated when I realized I’d have to research a whole new area to feel healthy again. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Thanks again,

David

You're welcome, I know the feeling. :D

I have access to doctors (I live in the Netherlands), but they suck at everything which they cant give you some pill for. :angry:

So I had to diagnose myself, and the results tell me I am correct. :)

There is another intolerance you can have. This is an intolerance for salicylates and benzoates. This too has to do with Celiac.

But this is a very rare intolerance, if both avoiding lactose and histamine dont work 100%, you can take a look at that.

Lots of histamine-rich foods are rich in salicylates/benzoates too by the way. So histamine-low eating will take care of salicylates/benzoates for a great deal already.

But maybe going lactose-free is enough for you. :)

David and Voss, great discussion here! I've been gluten-free for about 5 years and still am looking into 2ndary allergies or intolerances. I have just heard about Histame and plan on buying it for sure... I just got blood work done and both soy and yeast are culprits for me... I decided to just eat the caveman diet (www.thepaleodiet.com) and when I can muster the will power to do so, I feel well beyond 100% for very long periods of time.... I truly believe a true elimination diet is the only way to find out what it is... it is tough to stick to, but after 3 or 4 days it is easy to find out what you are not suppose to eat, etc.....

I'll try to share if Histame works for me or not.... cheers! B

      Ibuprofen

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      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. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
