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.

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.
