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.

      Hello there! New to celiac community, although I have lots of family in it.  My two year old was just diagnosed with celiac disease based on symptoms and bloodwork.  symptoms (swollen belly, stomach hurting, gagging all the time, regular small vomit, fatigue, irritability, bum hurting, etc) she got tests at 18 months and her bloodwork was normal. She just got tested again at 2 1/2  because her symptoms were getting worse and these were her results :   Tissue Transglutaminase Ab, IgA 58.8 Unit/mL (High) Endomysial Antibody IgA Titer 1:5 titer (Abnormal)   Gliadin Antibody IgA < 1.0 Unit/mL Gliadin Antibody IgG 8.5 Unit/mL Immunoglobulin A 66 mg/dL Her regular pediatrician diagnosed her with celiac and told us to put her on the strict gluten free diet and that we wouldn’t do an endoscopy since it was so positive and she is so little (26lbs and two years old). I’m honestly happy with this decision, but my family is saying I should push and get an endoscopy for her. It just seems unnecessary and an endoscopy has its own risks that make me nervous. I’m certain she has celiac especially with it running in mine and my husbands family. We are now thinking of testing ourselves and our 5 year old as well.  anyways what would y’all recommend though? Should we ask for an endoscopy and a GI referral? (We are moving soon in 5 months so I think that’s part of why she didn’t refer us to GI)

      This is really helpful  I had not considered sugar alcohols or inulin as triggers. Thanks for the practical baking tips too color coding and baking G F first makes a lot of sense.

Thiamax (TTFD) plus a B-complex, and if you want benfotiamine, the Life Extension formula covers that at ~100 mg.

      High fiber can definitely cause sudden GI distress especially if it’s a new addition but accidental gluten exposure can feel similar. Keeping a simple food/symptom log and introducing new gluten-free foods one at a time can really help you spot the pattern.

      sorry a bit confused so I should take my B complex along with Objective Nutrients Thiamax for TTFD but what about a Benfotiamine to take. The Life extensions contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine together or im confusing myself. I am trying to see if I take Thiamax what should I take for Benfotiamine. Thanks EDITING after further research I see ones water soluble ones fat soluble. So I guess 100MG as you suggested of Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. and the Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD.     would work for me.

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.
