Just curious i know in the begginning of the diet they say to steer clear of dairy so you can heal properly but it seems like noone here eats dairy atall.I want to know if theres any celiacs out there that successfully eat dairy without reaction and if so how long did it take to get to that point?? Thank youu

After 6 months dairy free I was able to add yogurt and lactose free cheese back into my diet. I'm 11 months gluten free and I still can not tolerate milk though unless it is in a baked good (and that seems to be hit and miss). So I avoid dairy for the most part. No ice cream for me either :(

Some people have problems with lactose, some have problems with casein. Some have no dairy intolerance at all or it's not bad enough for them to give up dairy. If you suspect a problem with dairy, you probably won't know unless you try eliminating it. You can alway eliminate it for about a month then try a little agian and see how you react.

I eat dairy with lactaid tablets. If I don't have the lactaid, I get sick if I have the lactaid, no reaction at all. It's great stuff! Lactaid milk is good too.

You might need to take 2 tablets. If I eat pizza or ice cream, I need 2. If I just eat something like a little chocolate, I just need to take one.

Maybe the macaroni didn't agree with you, try something else. Maybe a grilled cheese on Udi bread or a little cream cheese on a glutino or something.

Good luck!!!! :)

I used Lactaid for the first 4 or 5 months, but I don't seem to need it anymore. I am tolerating all forms of dairy - milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream - so some of us can. Good luck!

I couldn't eat cow dairy at first and ate only a little goat and sheep cheese. After a while (probably six or nine months) I was able to eat dairy again. With me it was a cow casein sensitivity. I don't seem to have problems with lactose.

I eat dairy all the time, since as long as I don't go really overboard, it doesn't give me problems. The only time I really feel like I have a dairy issue is if I try to drink a glass of milk - then I don't feel so good. But cheese, yogurt, ice cream, frozen yogurt, chocolate ... yum. So no, not everyone here is dairy free. :)

I had no problem w/ dairy for the first 8 years of being gluten-free. It's only in the last year that dairy's been bothering me and I'll tell ya what... going gluten-free was a lot easier!! Cheese is cheese and butter is butter... there ARE NO SUBSTITUTES... period (ha ha). I avoid most dairy and take the lactaid tablets sometimes.

I cut out dairy for a few weeks to see if it would speed up my healing. I felt zero difference so I added in a small glass of milk every morning and was fine with it. I'm going to wait a couple weeks and then try adding a small bit of cheese or butter everyday. Outside of that 8oz. in the morning, I'm dairy-free and haven't had any adverse reaction. It could be because I'm having it small amounts or I'm just not lactose intolerant. As long as I feel well, I'm keeping the milk. :P

I crave milk and cheese the way some people crave chocolate and sweets. And, I agree, I found it's harder being dairy-free than gluten-free.

I definitely found it more difficult to give up dairy than gluten although I do fine with Lactaid milk and use butter without a problem.

I am craving a slice of Kraft Singles or a grilled cheese sandwich! Heck, maybe I should have one and I'd be half-way prepped for my upcoming colonoscopy in a couple of weeks. ohmy.gif

LOL That would definitely be a more pleasant way to prep for a colonoscopy than drinking that stuff!

My son and I seem to be among the few. We are very sensitive to cc and still we can eat dairy. My son eats more than a half pound of cheese a day. And we go through 4 gallons of milk a week. We get it from a farmer who doesn't feed his cows gluten grains. We couldn't tolerate other milk and cheese.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
