Uh Oh! Dairy Intolerance?

From reading many posts on this site I have become a little more educated on the possibilities of gluten and dairy intolerance.

I never, ever thought I was dairy intolerant, but just ate ice cream (gluten free) and about 20 minutes later had "D" (which could finally be my miralax working...) but also got a horrible sore throat.

I've suffered from chronic constipation for about 3 years and have read on here that many of you who have also had constipation say that it can be due to dairy....

Also, I've been gluten free for 4 weeks....

So what are the other symptoms? Anyone think this sore throat has anything to do with it?

Oh- and are they the same thing?? lactose/dairy intolerance? (Sorry if that's a dumb question!!)

There are two things you can react to in dairy, lactose and the milk proteins. Lactose intolerance gives you the D because undigested lactose passes through your intestine carrying lots of water with it. If you have bacteria that digest the lactose you'll also get bloated and gassy.

The protein reaction is allergy or intolerance, and allergies can cause sore throats. Also fast D is sometimes allergic. In gluten-sensitive folks the problem tends to be cross-reaction to casein, the major milk protein. It's also possible to be allergic to whey.

I don't know if you saw my post about dairy but I am beginning to think I'm allergic and not intolerant. I've tried lactose-free and I have the same symptoms, I think I'm reacting to casein and whey. Over a week ago I ate some goat cheese and had severe diarrhea with lots of blood and clots. I still feel sick nearly 10 days later. Severe heartburn, sore throats, coughing, etc. Just crappy feeling, stomachaches.

I hope you figure it out. No more dairy for me. It's been months since I had a sliver to try and I wanted to see if I've gotten better but nope.

Goodluck.

The protein reaction is allergy or intolerance,

Question: I read here that a lot of people are able to have some or all dairy back after a period of healing on the diet. Does this go only for those with lactose intolerance? Or is it possible, even with a verrry sensitive casein intolerance? I know mine is casein because I had a horrible reaction to a capsule prescribed to me by my doctor. The only questionable ingredient was indeed casein. :angry: So, any insight as to whether I should hold out hope of ever getting my beloved dairy back? ;) FWIW, my skin allergy test for dairy was negative.

I was wondering the same thing. I can't tolerate whey at all. Not even whey isolate. Which is sad because because the better protein shakes have whey in them.

I was thinking some Celiacs can bring dairy back once their intestines heal because the villi would be functioning properly to release lactase? But, that wouldn't help any of use who can't tolerate whey or casein. *tears*

There is hope. I returned to eating dairy after my intestine healed and I was sensitive to all dairy, not just lactose. Casein can cross-react with the gliadin antibodies. There is also an idea of "leaky gut" where the damaged intestinal epithelium lets fragments of proteins into the bloodstream where you can react to them. It's not well substantiated but it would explain why I went from being soy, dairy, and shellfish intolerant to being able to eat anything but gluten in about none months of healing.

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?
