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.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
