Need Some Clarification On The Dairy Issue, Please!

Hi all,

I haven't been diagnosed yet but I'm planning to go gluten-free later this week after my endoscopy. My question is this: does every gluten intolerant/celiac person need to cut out dairy for best results? I have been lactose intolerant for seven years and have worked out a system in which I drink Lactaid milk, eat yogurt and aged cheeses with no problem, and eat regular dairy products frequently while popping Lactaid pills. None of this causes me digestive distress

If its not causing you problems, I wouldn't eliminate it. A lot of people go off dairy for a few weeks or months when first going gluten-free. This is because we digest diary in the small intestine right where the Celiac damage is. It isn't mandatory and I don't think its become a law yet. ;)

Ha ha, thanks kareng. I'm completely freaking out right now, so not having to eliminate my precious yogurt will make my life much easier as I try to navigate all of this!

I was lactose intolerant to the point that even Lactaid didn't help with milk, cream, ice cream, but I could eat yogurt, cheese and sour cream all along without even needing Lactaid because the enzymes and cultures digest the lactose for you.naturally :)

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
