I have been on the diet for a little over a year. I use lactaid caplets when eating cheese. I just had a ham and cheese melt of corn tortillas for lunch. If I wouldnt have taken the tablet, I would feel gassy and bloated. Milk has never made me nauseous. Try the Lactaid caplets with a little cheese and see if it helps. All you can do is try it out and see if it works for you.

I knew maybe for 5 years that I was milk intolerant. After i drank a cup of milk, I imediately, or after 15-20 minutes ran to the bethroom(regular, or D). I also had huge pimples like teenagers a day after and bloathing-gas. Just from May 2010 I know that I might have celiac disease.

At the beginning doctors didn't believe that I was sick and I went to my allergologist. She tested me for milk and wheat. I'm possitive for milk allergy. I can't have any milk, cheese, yogurt... I need to watch milk protein - casein everywhere.

And Gluten free things too.

I remember that I bought 2-3 times Lactaid milk, but I always drank only a cup or two. I also had nausea. I never finished the milk. It always ended up in the sink.

I'm fairly newly self- dx'd w/ both gluten (if not celiac)& dairy intolerances. A few hours after eating dairy, I get gas, burping, intestinal irritation. i really need to tyr Lactaid, but living on a tight income, that's yet another thing I can't afford :(. I am hoping that, since the dairy intolerance is something that come up in the last year or two, that it will go away after a while.

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
