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

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears. Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also, I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress ...

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. ...

I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
