New To Gluten Free And Dairy

I'm new to this and I'm just diagnosed with gluten intolerance. I still have labs to do for Celiac. My doctor told me that I had to go gluten free but I'm having a hard time with dairy. He never said to stay away from dairy but I keep reading about having to do them together initially. My question is in the beginning is giving up dairy really important? I also had sushi last night and forgot that imitation crab meat had gluten as well as soy. I can control what I do at home but eating out can be difficult. Today I had corn tortillas at a restaurant and re-fried beans then later I find out some re-fried beans have gluten. I had gelato and thought gelato was gluten free but apparently that can have gluten in it. Then there's maltadextrin? Maltitol any malt is barley derived right? I feel overwhelmed even my Tums has wheat of some form in it. I just need someone to tell me the truth about dairy and going gluten free. Also then there are tons of gluten free alternatives with corn is which, GMO and fattening isn't it?

I didn't eliminate diary when I went gluten free... going on 10 years ago... and all was well. Fast forward to now... and it seems that dairy no longer loves me. And, I'm finding it MUCH harder to eliminate dairy than it was to do away w/ gluten! There are good breads and many ways to cook/bake w/o gluten... but butter is butter and good cheese is good cheese and there ARE NO SUBSTITUTES!! (Well meaning friends keep suggesting alternatives, but there ARE NONE for butter and good cheese)

I also limit grains (corn included)... mainly because I'm a total carb addict (Hello, my name is Leslie and I'm a carboholic!).

Gluten can be in just about ANYTHING... so reading ingredients or asking gelato sellers is key.

Good luck!!

If you still have tests to do for celiac then you should NOT go gluten free until those tests are done. Doing so could make the tests inaccurate. Yes, many do find they are better without dairy. Some react to casein in the same way as they react to gluten. Others have a problem with lactose becaus eof the flattened villi in the small intestine. If the problem is lactose you may be able to add dairy back in after a while of avoiding it. But some people don't have a problem with dairy at all. If it's too overwhelming for you to eliminate dairy as well as gluten, then don't worry about the dairy until you have to cross that bridge. See if you feel better gluten free and if you don't then eliminate dairy and possibly soy (also another common culprit). Just don't do the gluten free until after your tests are done.

My doctor wants me to take a test to determine if I have the gene for celiac first I suppose. I had eliminated gluten for almost two weeks then I realized that I really hadn't because I had communion on sundays, soy sauce, imitation crab, and possibly more exposure with refried beans at a restaurant and some gelato...I have a feeling though that dairy is going to be a problem because I'm still eating that and still feel bad even cutting back on gluten. I really appreciate everyone's response with this! Thanks!!!!

Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients. The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus! Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      Cricket Flour Makes Really Good Gluten-Free Bread

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
