Dairy Reaction?

Two weeks ago I started in using butter trying to test and see if I could tolerate a little bit of dairy. I had just gotten back from a trip so I didn't connect starting the butter with some C difficulties I started having, and the patch of itchy, flaking skin that came back on my scalp. I wasn't feeling so great, but I attributed it to a couple of corn ingestion incidents.

Last night I gave havarti cheese a try, and had some serious repercussions. What I'm trying to figure out is if it's a lactose thing, or a casein thing. Within the first 30 minutes I got the typical digestion issues: rumbling stomach, gas, D. Then within the hour my hands joints starting aching really bad. By the time I went to bed all my joints were killing me. Next day the joints still hurt, and I have some acid reflux issues.

Does anyone else react like this to dairy? Would you consider it a lactose reaction or a casein allergy?

Thanks!

It sounds like casein to me. I've never read of lactose intolerance causing joint issues.

Try an aged cheese like cheddar which has very little lactose to see if you have the same response as you did to the Havarti. I can't have lactose, but I can have casein. Thank goodness! Couldn't do without my butter. :)

Hi, I'm new.

I have gluten intolerance and I have an allergy to dairy. My body serious reacts with milk, cheese,butter. When I eat cheese, I my lips start to sting, I get stomach ache and diarrhea throughout the night, and I start to itch all over. I've never been able to take dairy even as a baby. I remember my mom telling me that she felt sorry for me because when I was born they didn't have those options back then as they do now.

I can handle soy a little bit better than dairy. I just become gasy with soy but I prefer to drink almond milk if anything.

Do you have an epipen? You should be prepared in case you accidentally eat something that has dairy. My nut allergy has gotten worse with age and doc gave me an epipen even though I haven't needed it.... yet. Better to be safe than sorry.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
