I have been diagnosed for 5 years through a biopsy for Gluten. I have followed a strict Gluten Free diet. I am still getting bloating and wondered if I have to stop not only Lactaid free Milk but all cheeses and dairy? My question is, if I do has anyone found a way to get calcium without the stomach discomfort? Also does anyone take probiotic pills since I do not tolerant yogurt without bloating and discomfort.

Thanks for any help.

I'm dairy free and my doc asked me to start taking calcium + Vit D supplements in addition to a daily multivitamin. You can also get calcium from various non-dairy food sources, green veggies, some fruits, fortified juices or non-dairy milks, etc.

Check out godairyfree.org for tons of great dairy free info, including this article about calcium:

I started taking probiotics but stopped them when I didn't see a significant difference.

I have not had milk or cheeses of any kind in a couple years. You can get adequate intake of calcium from fruit, vegetables, and nuts. Eat 2 oranges a day, some greens and some almonds. And make sure you get vitamin D somehow. If you are dairy intolerant then yeah-- you should not have dairy of any kind including cheese. Probably once you cut that out you'll find you dont need the probiotic pills. Do those even work? Fairly sure that is just a madison avenue invention.

I too bloat from dairy, even lactose free. I take acidophillus between meals all the time(I am new to Celiac). I had A gluten free pizza the other night and took acidophilus first and had no reaction or bloating. I am tempted again to induldge!! I'm getting sick of soy/rice cheese on stuff. i can tolerate it on sandwitches, but don't mess with my pizza! I do drink Coconut milk(OSO Brand) and Almond milk. both seem to settle well and have calcium added.

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By trents · Posted

      TTG would refer to a blood antibody test. Not valid if you are already eating gluten free or mostly so. DQH would refer to a genetic test to see if you possess either or both of the two genes that have been connected most strongly to developing active celiac disease. The genetic test is more of a rule out measure than a diagnostic test as about 40% of the general population have one or both of those genes but only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. If you don't have the genes but gluten causes you issues then the conclusion is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. So, the genetic testing helps with a differential diagnosis. I don't know about the 2P. 2 Pairs of genes?

      Tell him to get me a case...just kidding! I wonder why they are not labelled gluten-free here in the USA? They don't have gluten ingredients.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Pamela Kay · Posted

      Glad this helped. There are lots of alternative breads out there, so someone has likely made some sort of paleo bread with no grain. And if you bake, experiment with some of the alternative flours to see what you can come up with. If you commit to the gluten-free diet 100%, you may want to do a bit of research on some of the tricker aspects of getting gluten out of your diet, such as cross contamination in the home kitchen (pots and pans, cutting boards, toaster, airborne flour). Don't feel you have to do everything at once, or let this overwhelm you. I've always said that going gluten free is a process, not a moment. The reason I mention this is that, if you think you are gluten-free, but still having symptoms, you may realize that even minute amounts of gluten cause a reaction for a while. Let me know if you have any questions.  Pam

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The doctor was correct--if you are gluten-free the blood panel for celiac disease will not work, you would need to go on gluten challenge in order to be tested. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
