Decided To Test Dairy After 6 Months

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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
