Reaction To Cottage Cheese? Anxiety, Suicidal Thoughts, Racing Heart, Extreme Fatigue

So I was eating casein/dairy free for about 5 days, then yesterday I slipped and had an entire 24 oz container of cottage cheese within like an hour. Within a half hour of eating it I got a racing heart, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, extreme fatigue/tiredness, all of which lasted for about 2 hours. Then I fell asleep for 2.5 hours.

I have Aspergers which is an autism spectrum disorder, and I've read that a lot of people with autism spectrum disorders do better on the gluten/casein free diet. But was what I experienced typical for an allergic reaction to casein?

* Note: I have been eating gluten free for 4 months

It might be a reaction to casien. Unless you consumed something that was a gluten risk in the less couple of days as some will have that sort of a reaction to gluten. What you may want to do is drop all dairy again and then in another month or so you could try dairy again with a different dairy item and see if the same thing happens again. If you do discover that you have an issue with dairy be careful on some non-dairy products as for some reason non-dairy stuff can still have casien in it. So do read labels.

I've been dairy free since last night. Today I am SUPER tired and I can't stop eating. Every hour I want to eat something. Sometimes after eating a meal I still want to eat more lol. I've done some research and read this extreme hunger can be a casein withdrawal symptom? Is that true?

Yeah here's a thread where multiple people going gluten free speak of constant hunger -

Anyone known what causes this hunger?

Some cottage cheese is not gluten free. For example: Open Original Shared Link

It could have been a reaction to gluten.

I wouldn't be surprised if it did contain gluten.

I am gluten and casein (a protein in milk/dairy) intolerant. When I get glutened, it can put me to sleep even if i am visiting someone and it is rude to fall asleep. Before I went gluten and casein free, I had developed anxiety, felt blue, was tired, and my heart would race. It seems to me that your symptoms could be tied to the cottage cheese though it could be because it is contaminated with gluten or it could be the casein or one of the other twenty some proteins or the lactose. I have also heard that going gluten free helps with autism spectrum disorders and other mental health diagnoses. your reaction seems typical for a reaction to gluten/casein. if you can have yeast daiya makes good mozerella and cheddar cheese. cashew agave nectar ice cream is amazing. almond milk is my favorite i never liked regular milk any way. there are a lot of dairy alternatives. if you find out casein is your issue be careful that the cheese alternatives do not have casein. i am still trying to figure out why they put it in.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      Do you think a multi vitamin would be helpful! Also do symptoms got differently for everyone in regards to running to bathroom? I noticed regular oatmeal sometimes after eating or 1-2 hrs later I gotta go but on gluten-free no urgency. Sometimes I would eat 2 slices whole wheat and no issues for a few days so hard to pinpoint when it hits

      Hello again, @JessikaSwallow78! I think you already posted in another section of the forum. My goodness! You are dealing with quite a few health challenges! Anemia and vitamin/mineral deficiencies are very common with celiac disease. Celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel and reduces the ability to absorb vitamins and minerals from the food we eat. The lining of the small bowel is the section of the intestines where these things are absorbed and this issue may also be causing your discomfort after eating.  Constipation and diarrhea are classic GI symptoms with celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder and you already have two autoimmune disorders, namely, Raynauds and Fibromyalgia. I mention this because autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. When you have one, you often acquire others with time. I think your next step is to get tested for celiac disease. The initial step of testing involves a blood draw from which they check for antibodies which are fairly specific to celiac disease. Ask your doctor to order these two lab tests, TTG-IGA and Total IGA (aka, Immunoglobulin IGA), when he/she does the blood draw. Make sure you don't start cutting back on wheat products in the mean time or you will invalidate the testing. Keep us posted.
