Question About Lactose

So I was wondering if anyone knew why since requiring gluten free lifestyle, I am also still months after going gluten-free, so sensitive to dairy, I have this lactose free milk, that Lacteeze brand or w.e, I can drink really small amounts without any serious problems but soon as I have a glass of it, It hurts.

So basically I'm wondering why lacteze emzeimes no longer work for me, I can't take lactose pills or drink the special milk and be ok like I used to for my whole life.

Perhaps your problem is casien, the milk protein, rather than lactose, the milk sugar.

Are you able to use butter? I think it's lactose free but would contain casein. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong...

butter contains VERY small quantities of casein, and depending on sensitivity levels, may not bother someone with casein sensitivity. (butter is almost entirely fat and water, the protein that is in there is only what isn't fully separated out in the butter making process.)

I react to all lactose free products. I read that they still contain lactose...just less. It is enough to make me swell up like I'm pregnant!

For the first year or two of lactose intolerance Lactaid worked for me. Then it no longer did. I guess the damage had become worse....Now that I am healed I can tolerate lactose again.

My younger brother could never have cow milk, because he was intolerant of the casein, instead of being allergic to the lactose. Goat milk, goat cheese, etcetera, however, didn't bother him at all. Maybe this could be a solution for you?

For myself, dairy was never a problem, but as my insides got worse by not being gluten free (because I didn't know I needed to be), it was harder for me to have dairy. Once my insides healed, dairy was fine.

If you are truly intolerant though, it won't matter how healed your insides are, it would be just as bad as having gluten. Goat products may be safe though. Obviously though, this is something you'd want to test very carefully, and probably wait until you've been gluten free for awhile. Don't want to be doing too many new things at once.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
