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.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
