Hello Everyone,

Has anyone here actually healed enough to bring dairy back into thier diets? I'm thinking (not very seriously) about taking a week off work and eating a half gallon of ice cream just to kill the cravings.

Thanks RA

I'm in the same boat, also want to know. Id never eat crap like ice cream or milk again but I REALLY miss greek yoghurt... last I checked I wasn't even able to tolerate goats milk either, which is supposed to be easily tolerated by people with dairy sensitivities... but nope. One bit of goats cheese and I broke out in huge cystic acnes all over my face... so I guess not. :(

Anyone..?

I was off dairy and soy 6 months along with the gluten. Now I have no problems with either. Bring on the ice cream and I want whipped cream on top.

I was able to add back in dairy after a little over a year. I am 44 so that have something to do with it also. I still can't drink a glass of milk but can use it in recipes and in my oatmeal. I can eat all cheese but cottage cheese is still too much lactose. I can do about a half cup of real ice cream. I only have a problem with lactose which is common with celiac. If you have a problem with casein then all dairy is out of the question. So hopefully its only lactose and you will heal with time to add it back in. I've heard of some just needing 2 months of gluten free to heal the villi and others take longer. We will hope its shorter for you!

I am like Kathy. Severely lactose intolerant, but not casein. It's been two years, and I am now able to eat some ice cream and have had a good blob of cream with my cake. I used Lactaid with it at first (I was so bad that that never helped before) and yesterday I had my first trial (successful!) without Lactaid. Yeay!! I hope it's the same for you. I was pining for ice cream.

I had to go off dairy for about 5 months. It was ok for the whole month of December, yay! Then I got glutened :( The lactose problem came right back. So I am hoping it will go away again soon!

Really? :( I'm pretty sure its casein for me... because low lactose/lactose free stuff or whatever like goats milk did the same thing to me... will it last forever?

So would testing positive for allergy to dairy protien mean this is not going to go away? Should I try a little cheese and see what happens? I've been gluten free about 10 months and am 43 now.

Allergy testing is unreliable. Try a little bit of hard cheese, see what happens.

Not sure on this. Others may know more about casein. I just know that it is in all dairy and higher concentrations in harder cheeses. My brother in law who is celiac, had been casein free for over 4 years and is now adding back in small amounts of hard cheeses and milk in recipes only and is doing fine with that, so maybe not a forever thing. Wish I could be of more help there.

Unfortunately, I think everyone heals at a different pace. I took milk products out completely for 6 months and then added it back with no problem. The peanuts, however, were a different story and much harder to eliminate for me. I just added them back after 2 years going without. I am also 45 years old now, gluten-free since 43, I think the older you are the more damage may have been done before diagnosis. I think I have had problems with gluten my whole life.

I tried the hard cheese. Three small servings of colby-jack over a 36 hour period. No reaction the first two servings then with the third I got a rash on my arms and a tummy ache. I didn't explode like I use to LOL. So I'll try again in about six months (maybe 12 months). Thanks for all your help RA

      Gluten tester

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

      Thank you so much for the clarification! Yes to these questions: Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!
