Milk

A little while ago I posted because after being gluten-free for a year I was beginning to feel lousy again. Someone asked if it could be milk and I promptly answer no... Never had a problem with it. But it remained in my ears. After not finding answers I eliminated milk and major dairy stuff (ice cream) and stomach issues went away. I eliminated it for a week. The next week I had dairy and stomach issues came back. I have alway been a big milk drinker. What does this mean - have I developed a lactose intolerance. Or could this be temporary? I'll go off it if it keeps me out if the bathroom:) But I do love my milk!!

It could be lactose but it could also be casien, the milk protein. You could ask your doctor for a lactose test or you could try lactose free milk and see if that is better tolerated. If it is lactose intolerance you likely could still eat cheddar or other hard cheeses as those are very low in lactose. Whether this is temporary or not I can't answer. Maybe in a month or two you could try again and see if you are tolerating dairy a bit better.

I had a low positive with Enterolab for casein intolerance and avoided dairy for quite a while but was able to add dairy back in after I had healed more.

Broken record here but I didn't tolerate milk well until I switched to raw dairy. Maybe not a chance many would be willing to take but I have a good farmer whom I trust. He takes good care of his cows.

Is it typical to develop other intolerances after being gluten-free for a while?

I don't know if we develop them or if they were there all along but gluten issues overshadowed them. Unfortunately there are many of us who do have other intolerances. Some are lucky and do have them resolve after we have fully healed.

Same problem here. Been gluten free since april of this year was feeling great. about a month or so ago started feeling bad again all same symptoms back. Got rid of dairy completely for a week or more felt way better! Then went and ate lasagna that I made and know was gluten free and ate it thinking just some cheese no biggie yeah paid dearly for 5 days. Won't do that again. I love milk would drink 2 or 3 glasses a day. Oh how i miss you milk :(

I eliminated cheese when I first went gluten-free, too...and oh, how I craved it. Much worse than eliminating anything with gluten. After about 9 months I started eating hard cheeses like cheddar and parmesan and eventually branched out to include mozzarella so yaaay! Now I can eat pizza again. I've been buying Lactaid milk although I don't use much as I rarely have cereal for breakfast.

So whether I was lactose intolerant before diagnosis, I don't know. Possibly the symptoms were masked by my digestive problems with celiac . But I'm happy that I can tolerate cheese again...just haven't had the courage to make a grilled cheese sandwich with gooey Kraft American singles. I can live with that.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
