Self-testing

Any thoughts or suggestions on how to test for casein and lactose intolerance individualy by consuming foods that have either casein or lactose but not both simultaneously. Also for wheat. Is there a way to test for wheat without the gluten or is that one in the same. I am trying to determine if this is just an intolerance or maybe celiac with out the biopsy/doctor involvement. I been back in forth with doc for almost 2 years and i have now found the "cause" of my misery on my own but now trying to pinpoint myself exactly what I have. At one point i was accused of being preganant and in denial about it. I have not been back since.

I did eat wheat crisp wheat thins(100 calorie pack) with heathly choice soup, I got sick. The soup or the crisps the culprit, is it the wheat or the gluten?

I had a few spoonfulls of Wendys chocolate frosty and got some tummy pain.

I can eat deviled eggs and prepackaged omelets(walmart) with no problem. Minimal cheese in omelet.

After eating natural cheeddar cheese(sargento) had some issuses and bloating.

I dont drink milk, gets on my tongue, i want to barf, same with yogurt.

I know there is a diff in casein and lactose, one is a protein and the other a sugar. I want to find out which I am reacting to. How can I do with no blood tests?

Thanks

JBaby

Hello! First off, wheat will always have gluten but gluten won't always have wheat. As for casein and lactose. . .you can't really separate those since they are both in milk.

Try keeping a food journal and doing an elimination diet.

Thank you. I suspected that. So, I guess Whey protein would be out of the question for supplemental protein. Whey has lactose, I think.

Most Whey protein containers will have an "Allergen Information" space below the ingredients that will tell you if it contains milk/soy ingredients etc.. ANd I would guess most Whey Protein products contain milk products, but you should deffinately read the ingredients list and check for the allergen info on the container or call the manufacturers to ask.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: 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/
