Issues With Milk

I was wondering if anyone here has issues with milk? I tried lactaid milk and still have issues. Whenever I consume it, I get tightness around my abdominal area, anxiety/panic feeling and my chest feels heavy and I also feel little dizzy and weird. Then I have constipation and feel bloated. I also think certain types of milk cause my symptoms to flare up. With cheese or yogurt its not so bad. Organic milk seems to be the worst! Anyone here has similar symptoms? Also, how long does it take for the symptoms to subside and go away? Just wondering...

Its been 8 months now and I'm still malabsoring Vitamin D, Iron and B12. I do take supplements but if I stop them my levels start to go down. Is this normal? Does it take time to stabilize these levels? My doctor thinks it can take up to 2-3 years... Plz advice!

Hi!

I knew about 5 years before my gluten intolerance, or celiac disease that I was intolerant to milk. It got to the point when I was reacting with diarhea in 15 minutes even after eating just a little amount of cheese. I bought the Lactaid milk instead of regular, but I din't liked the taste of it, and I still went to the bathroom.

Last year in May I had pain on the left side of the stomach for four days. After ER wisit I saw a gastroenterologist. I had upper endoscopy (positive, but only MarshI - beginning of celiac disease). The doctor told me that I can eat gluten freely, but I stopped. It was a big mistake on my part. I tested negative on blood test after not eating gluten for about 3 weeks and 2 weeks before that on a very strict diet (just water, some breat( maybe a half of slice in 2-3 days), rice, meat cooked in water with some salt, potato, pretzels, soup-broth). On top the doctor checked only one thing in my blood work, related to the celiac disease. Doctors should check 4-5.

I went on line and found this forum. I read about the celiac disease and all my symptoms were here. I didn't knew what to do and then I had one idea- to see my allergologist. She did the test - injections, not prick test for milk and wheat. I found out that I have milk allergy, or casein allergy in addition to my milk intolerance. I also found out that I had delayed reaction to wheat which is the symptom of wheat intolerance, or celiac disease.

If you have a problem even with Lactaid milk, try to see a allergologist to rule out casein allergy.

We should avoid dairy for 1 year anyway on gluten free diet.

It's easy sad than done. I don't want to scare you, but the cheese substitution are horrible. Some people here like it , but I don't. I found some "ok" yogurt from coconut milk (So Delicious).

I miss my dairy!!!!

Instead I'm eating vitamins like you. The avoidance of gluten is ok for me, but the avoidance of real milk, butter, whip cream or ice cream isn't. Their taste isn't repleasable. But we must do what need to be done - avoid all intolerances, allergies because they makes us very sick.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By KimMS · Posted

      Thanks for sharing that site! Do you know if that site has any information about manufacturing/possible cross contact on it? I can't find it. When I have called manufacturers, most of them say they can't guarantee no cross contact in manufacturing (except Lannett, Mylan and possible Amneal, which aren't available near me).

      Possible cross-contamination – concerned about symptoms

      By Dora77 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have celiac disease and I’m asymptomatic, which makes things more stressful because I don’t know when I’ve been glutened. That’s why I try to be really careful with cross-contamination. For almost a year, I’ve been having yellow/orange floating stools consistently. I’m not sure if it’s related to gluten exposure or something else going on. I’ve been trying to identify any possible mistakes in my routine. Today, I made myself some gluten-free bread with cheese. Normally, I’m very careful: I use one hand to handle the cheese packaging (which could be contaminated, since it’s from the supermarket and was probably sitting on a checkout belt that had flour residue), and the other hand to touch my gluten-free bread and plate. But today I accidentally touched the bread with the same hand I used to grab the cheese pack from the fridge. The fridge handle might also have traces of gluten since I live in a shared household where gluten is used. I’m worried this mistake could have contaminated my bread. There were no visible crumbs or flour, but I know even trace amounts can be a problem. Has anyone had similar experiences or symptoms from this level of contact? Could this kind of exposure be enough to trigger symptoms or cause intestinal damage? Thanks for reading.

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      So eight days in a row of gluten on top of gluten on top of gluten, I just had to resort to the EpiPen. I wish I could post a picture because you wouldn’t believe how enormous my gut is! It makes my head look like a pinhead.Ahhhgggsahhhhh!!!! I have discovered that I have to read the ingredients when I use a product up that I’ve been able to use without getting a reaction, because they can change the ingredients and bam my toothpaste now has gluten!!! my doctor told me gluten free means it has 20 ppm which someone with a severe a celiac as I’ve got that thing there kills me. I try to find certified gluten-free in everything. I can’t eat any oats unless it’s Bob’s red mill certified gluten-free. Good luck everybody this autoimmune disease is wicked wicked

      Lubriderm-gluten-free?

      By Mswena · Posted

      I have been using a little bit of Lubriderm when I wash my hands because it’s the lotion offered at a place I frequent once a week. Assuming it was gluten-free I bought a bottle. I couldn’t figure out why I was getting gluten EVERY night. I use a little of the lotion in the morning on my neck, with no reaction, but at night, I use it on my arms and legs and face and get gluten gut pretty bad. After eight nights of having to have diphenhydramine injections for severe gluten, I googled “is Lubriderm gluten-free” and it led me to this forum. I am going to go back to olive oil as I have been gut sick sooooooo bad with a huge gut and pain eight days in a row now. Sick of feeling sick.
