Common With Ice Cream?

[JBaby]

Are we especially sensitive to ice cream also, to the lactose or casein or guar gum which replaces the gluten, which from what I read did in mayny years ago or may still cause digestive issues. I just had some and got the intense abdominal pain as if i just ate gluten. It comes and goes.

Dairy is incredibly hard, if not impossible, for some Celiacs to digest and it could be the casein or the lactose. Doesn't really matter because it will make you feel just as bad, either one. If it's a lactose problem, it could clear up after healing occurs or you may be able to tolerate small amounts. I gave up on the milk and ice cream because it just wasn't worth the grief afterwards. I can tolerate a small amount of milk in my tea but forget the glass of milk!

I am, but its the casein for me. Instant D and pain in the tummy almost immediately.

Are there tests to show lactose or caesin intolerance? Or is a simple an elimination of them in the diet all we need to diagnose one of these intolerance?

I believe allgery tests are available. For me, before the confirmed allergic reaction test, I self tested. After noting in a food journal about 3 days the only common factor was casein products (milk, cheese)...I didn't eat any for a day, noticed improvement. I decided to test my theory and eat some. Sure enough..reaction. Afterwards my doc tested me for allergies to certain foods. Sure enough dairy was there.
