Additional Allergy With celiac disease?

[David]

Hi All:

I

[Voss]

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!

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.

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

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
