Lactose Intolerant? Ug, I Need Some Help

So today is day #3 off gluten after being diagnosed via blood test. I was doing pretty well until I had some spaghetti squash today with pecorino romano cheese on it. Then my stomach started to hurt and feel expanded. I also don't feel well after eating yogurt (I don't eat milk, ice cream or butter much). I thought this was weird because aged cheese and yogurt are supposed to be very low in lactose, but still I think that I've developed a temporary intolerance for it, which I've heard is common. My endoscopy is on Friday, and the doctor said he'd be able to determine if I have it from that. Should I continue to eat dairy products until then? If I stop now, could it affect the results?

Also, I've heard that it can take 3-9 months for the body to heal itself enough to try to reintegrate dairy back into the diet. Has anyone here developed a permanent intolerance? Oh, I don't want to give up chocolate :(

No, going off dairy will not affect your biopsy results.

Awesome. Then I think I'm just going to go off it....except I do have a small piece of dark chocolate every night....maybe I'll keep that in till I get the test results....I think I may go crazy otherwise.

And your dark chocolate just might be dairy free anyway! Isn't that good news! ;)

Ah, I checked. I eat Dove dark chocolate, and there's milk in it. Anyone have any favorite brands? (maybe one that won't break my bank account in chocolate alone? ;) )

well I know I was lactose intolerant, was cool if I took lactose pills, if those don't work for you then, you may have developed Casein intolerance, which means the protein get's you, not the sugar, so lactose pills won't help that =/ I learned that the hard way <_<

It's amazing to me that you went dairy free so quick after your celiac diagnosis. What prompted you to do it? I have been gluten free since Sept 10 but have not omitted anything else from my diet because I think I want to be in denial that I have other intolerances!!! However after 7 months gluten free, I still am not "regular" like I thought I would be. Bloating gone but still other GI problems. I was worried about dairy and corn just because I hear about so many other celiacs that have issues with them!

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
