Dairy Problems?

I think that I might be having problems with dairy. But I'm not sure what this means exactly. I know that some people have sesitivities to lactose and some cesian. I know when I was originally tested for celiac they tested me for lactose and there were not any positive results. Could I be sensitive to it a year later? If I want to do a test to see if I'm sensitive to it, how long do I have to go without? I've been having really strong cravings for milk lately. Is that suggestive of anything? Also I think my skin has been acting up because of the increased dairy. I love my dairy. If it isn't dairy causing me problems what else might it be? Any help would be appreciated.

As far as I am aware (I am not an expert but have read a lot) allergies can be tested but there is no real test for intolerances.

Intolerances are diagnosed by a diet of exclusion.

I can have some dairy, but the other day I had a latte in the morning and a in the afternoon - stupid! For some reason I am better with skim milk and cheese than the full cream variety - which I find weird.

Hi there! There actually are test that can tell you what your food intolerances are. It is a bloodtest, I used Lame Advertisement (they have a website). They can see how 200 different foods react with your blood. Then based on how strongly they react, you are either severely intolerant/moderately intolerant/mildly intolerant. So I am not sure what might be causing your problems. I wasn't tested for a lactose intolerance, but I know I am, also I am sensitive to whey, which is also found in dairy products. There are actually many components in foods that we can be intolerant of, because a lot of foods have several different proteins/substances in them. Try eliminating all dairy for three weeks(all dairy, so read labels!) or until you have no symptoms and then reintroduce it. When you reintroduce it, do it in the morning or on an empty stomach. If it causes any symptoms to re-surface then you will know that you are intolerant. In this case you will probably need to eliminate it for a longer period, say 3- 6 months. Then start the reintroducing process over. Hope that helps

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
