Decided To Test Dairy After 6 Months

Recommended Posts

When I went off gluten, I also went off dairy. I kept testing gluten because it was so hard to eliminate gluten, so I knew beyond a doubt I had a reaction to that. But I never did test dairy because I was feeling so much better and why mess with it. Why mess with it indeed.

Decided to get a latte after church today. Now I feel completely drunk, my husband is out of town...and it's a beautiful day where I live and I'm stuck inside because I have to be close to the bathroom. Waiting for my joints to swell.

I am clearly an idiot. Advice for getting over this quickly?

I'm wondering if you got CC'ed from something in the latte. I would suspect that for a drunken feeling before dairy. Stick clear of the gluten for a few weeks againk, then retest dairy with a little cheese on a salad or a bit of cream in the coffee. If that goes well, then try some yogurt or ice cream.

I'm sorry you are feeling so badly. I have no advice for drunken latte symptoms. Hydrate and sleep.

Maybe a probiotic supplement would help. Acidophilus.

For me, L-glutamine stops symptoms in a real hurry. I take it in chewable form. I just shove a bunch (5g or more!) into my mouth and the symptoms are gone within like 10-20 minutes. That's been my experience. I keep the bottle around just in case I get glutened or dairied, but I'm now taking 1.5g a day in the hopes of rebuilding my intestine and reducing future symptoms as well.

I'm considering dairy now. I have low-fat lactaid milk every day...about 2 cups...no problem that I know of. But, I've recently been eating yogure (plain, low- fat) and am having some problems.

Also, I've been using fresh ginger lately and that's upsetting my stomach..making it burn.

Suggestions?

Good luck, I can't tolerate dairy at all, the last time I tried (with goat cheese) I had intestinal bleeding, I was so sick! I don't know what to take to make it better except avoid dairy all together.

Feel better! Also watch out because you might be reacting to soy too. Dairy/soy can sometimes go together as far as intolerance goes.

I'll second that. I can't do dairy or soy.

      Thanks for the reply.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
