I was reading in the forums that alot of you have gone dairy free? Why is this? I have been dependent on organic milk and yogur (which from what I read, yogurt is fine), and organic butter. I have been eating very little because of my new found sulfite allergy, and so these things have been a staple for me. Could someone please explain to me why some of you are avoiding dairy so I have a clearer picture of things? Thanks!

Because of the damage to the small intestine some of us can't tolerate dairy. The only dairy I eat anymore is cheese and yogurt and sometimes ice cream. All the cottage cheese, sour cream, etc. I find has guar gum in it. I don't drink milk anymore because it gives me gas. I don't eat anything with sulfites either, really gives me gas bad. :blink::wacko::o

Some people are lactose intolerant before going gluten free because of the damage to the intestines. I know I was lactose intolerant on and off my whole life but now since going gluten free I am fine.

Some people are sensitive to dairy...this is not a celiac thing to avoid though so unless you react to dairy I wouldn't worry about it.

Just like some people on here can't have soy..its not a celiac thing their body is just sensitive to it.

I live off of yogurt...yogurt is supposed to be ok for lactose intolerant people because they have an enzyme called lactase that helps break down lactose.

There's the thought that those with nontrivial intestinal damage may have trouble with lactose, since lactase is produced at the ends of the villi (the first place damaged). Some of the rest of us have simply found that we don't tolerant casein well, even if it's not a milk allergy specifically. But I sure do miss yogurt! ;-) (Soy yogurt is not really the same...)

OK, I understand now. I guess I am going to keep on with the dairy unless I notice a problem. Ianm- do you totally avoid sulfites that are listed, or do you avoid even the amounts that arent put on labels? They only have to list them if they are 10 parts per million. I even react to high levels of natural sulfur, so right now I cant even eat onions, eggs, potatoes, garlic, and alot of other things. Just wanted to give you a heads up incase you still are having problems with gas and didnt know about that. :D

Some can't tolerate dairy in the beginning (when starting the diet), but after the intestines heal, are fine with it. I never had a problem with it.

I don't have problems with foods that are naturally high in sulfer. I don't think I have any intolerances to sulfites either. I have just noticed that anything with very large quantities of sulfites cause problems. Small amounts don't seem to cause any serious problems but I just avoid them as a courtesy to anybody in my immediate vicinity. :lol::lol:

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting...

      Fermented foods, Kefir, Kombucha?

      I have had celiac for many years and still had terrible digestion. I cook from scratch, never eat anything with gluten ( A Gut that needs special attention seems to affect many who suffer from celiac) . I made my own Kombucha, it helped my Gut much more than the yogurt I made but I still had issues. Water Kefir did nothing. As a last resort I made MILK Kefir...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @cristiana Hi, thank you so much, I will look into those books for sure! And get bloodwork at my next appointment. I have never been told I have TMJ, but I have seen information on it and the nerve issue while googling this devil plague in my mouth. Thank you so much for the advice!

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.

      I have had celiac for many years and still had terrible digestion. I cook from scratch, never eat anything with gluten ( A Gut that needs special attention seems to affect many who suffer from celiac) .  I made my own Kombucha, it helped my Gut much more than the yogurt I made but I still had issues. Water Kefir did nothing. As a last resort I made MILK Kefir and it has really started healing my Gut. It has been about 2 months now and I am doing so much better. It was trial and error getting the right PH in the Kefir ferment that agreed with my stomach, too little ferment, too much, I finally hit the right one for me. Milk Kefir has the most probiotics than any of the other. I can't find my notes right now but there are at least 30 probiotics in Kefir, Kombucha has about 5-7 and yogurt around 3 if I recall correctly.  I wish you all the best, I know how frustrating this condition can be.
