Dairy Friend Or Foe?

I have been gluten-free for just over 3 months. I noticed a change for the positive right away.

I am super careful about my diet and eat mostly at home. I eat mainly whole foods too. (basics non processed)

I have noticed having increased D here and there, but could never figure out what was causing it. I started to suspect dairy.

I went two days without heavy dairy last week and felt pretty good. No D. (When I say not heavy I just mean that I had a tablespoon of lactose free cream for my coffee and a tad of butter in something, but nothing else the rest of the days)

Well, yesterday I consumed a heavier dairy meal and had issues today. (I had cheese and cream in a homemade egg frittata)

So now I am wordering is I am not tolerating dairy. Could it be something other?

Why can I have some and not a lot? What is that limit?

Do any of you have dairy sensitivies? Do any of you have luck with a gluten-free dairy free diet? Is it worth trying for a longer stretch.

I just hate being so limited already. But at the same point I don't like feeling sick from food.

Any advise is great!

I started gluten-free diet in January 2010. And only in March I realized that I am lactose-intolerant. Also I found other food intolerances, which surprised me a lot. But it is common to find other food intolerances when you go gluten-free

You have to separate out the lactose from the casein when it comes to dairy. l They are digested by different enzymes. Lactase which digests the lactose is made at the tips of the villi in the small intestine, which are damaged by gluten for those who are celiac. So it will not be until those heal that you will be able to (possibly ) digest lactose (most heal just fine). So that means eliminating milk, cream, ice cream and frozen yogurt at the very least. For cultured dairy products, most of the lactose gets digested by the culture, so you may be able to tolerate cheese, butter, sour cream, even cream cheese. You will just have to try it. Goat's cheese is an alternative to cow's, as is also sheep cheese like pecorino.

Good tips. I need to try cutting out all milk, cream, ice cream to see how that works. :)

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
