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:

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
