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:

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
