Can Dairy Products Cause The Same Affects As Being Glutened?

Hello Everyone,

I have been gluten free for almost 2 months, and I am feeling better but I still have really bad days. About a week ago I decided to stop eating dairy products to see if it would help. I accidentally ate some cheese last night and this morning I feel horrible. Almost like someone has beaten me up. My entire body is sore especially my ribcage and my chest. And my neck is so sore I can barely move it side to side. I was just wondering if dairy products can have the same affect as gluten on your body? I'm totally new to all of these problems. My medical issues started in January of this year. I'm so tired of feeling this way, I just want to feel better.

Thank you for responses,

TIFF :)

For me, both gluten and lactose cause diarrhea, gas, bloating. Only difference is the lactose acts a lot quicker!!

I feel the exact same way mushroom does! I feel the lactose within minutes. I feel the gluten the next day. I always, always take Lactaid before I consume dairy, especially ice cream. I wish someone would invent Glutenaid to take before you consume gluten!

As mentioned above, lactose causes gas, bloating and diarrhea if you're lactose intolerant. All three (as also mentioned) can be resolved with Lactaid. However, you might also be sensitive to casein, the protein component in milk. As many as half of celiacs are. Try cutting out all dairy and see if that helps. (Warning: they slip casein in everywhere, including cheese substitutes that are labeled non-dairy.)

Edit: I did a similar thread a few weeks ago seeking help: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.ph...c=59874&hl= Some of the replies are really terrific.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
