Dairy Again, Ever?

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

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
