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.

      @yellowstone, You poor thing! I'm not a medical doctor, but it sounds like "Refeeding Syndrome". I suggest you seek medical attention. Refeeding Syndrome occurs when your body doesn't have enough of the necessary vitamins, especially Thiamine, to turn sugars (from the fruit, juice, and honey) to turn provide energy. This can occur...

      Hypoglycemia, ketones in urine and weight lost. I need advice.

      Due to malabsorption, I have hypoglycemia and I excrete ketones in my urine. I am losing a lot of weight. I don’t know what to do — I drink juice, eat fruit, take honey, but I don’t notice much improvement. Any advice?

      Your post doesn't mention if you are seeing Doctors about this and what they had to say, or if you are just trying to manage it by yourself. If you aren't getting medical support, that is the first place to go. On the other hand, if you've been on a diagnostic odyssey with Dr after Dr being perplexed, consider getting your genome sequenced (search for "whole genome sequencing"). It's not guaranteed to get you an answer, but if your symptoms are caused by a genetic condition you might get the answer that is stumping standard differential diagnosis. These days there are quite a few companies offering this service. I wish I could tell you which one was best but I've been out of that field for a decade. Talk to your Dr about this and see what they think. Price is probably ~$500-$1,500 including the sequencing and detailed reports. Sounds like a lot, I know, but consider that 25 years ago just the sequencing (no reports) cost $2.7 B and took 3 years to complete.

      @yellowstone, You poor thing!  I'm not a medical doctor, but it sounds like "Refeeding Syndrome".   I suggest you seek medical attention.   Refeeding Syndrome occurs when your body doesn't have enough of the necessary vitamins, especially Thiamine, to turn sugars (from the fruit, juice, and honey) to turn provide energy.   This can occur in Malabsorption due to Celiac Disease.  Malabsorption prevents the absorption of B vitamins, especially Thiamine. The B vitamins and Thiamine cannot be stored long in the body.  When you run out of Thiamine, your body burns fat for energy which produces the Ketones, hence your weight loss. With medical attention, Thiamine and other B vitamins need to be replaced before giving any more sugars.  Doctors can give you an IV containing B vitamins including Thiamine, called a "banana bag".  Riboflavin  Vitamin B2 causes the yellow color.   Doctors can also monitor your electrolytes which can become unbalanced and cause further serious health issues. I've experienced Refeeding Syndrome.  It's very scary.  Health can deteriorate quickly in Refeeding Syndrome.  It's correctable, but complicated.   I strongly urge you to get professional medical attention as soon as possible.   Our prayers are with you! https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23228-refeeding-syndrome Thiamine Deficiency in Self-Induced Refeeding Syndrome, an Undetected and Potentially Lethal Condition https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4295429/ Keep us posted on your progress!

      I ate sprouted buckwheat and hard boiled egg last night instead of cereal and got extra 1/2 hour sleep but more importantly feel better this morning. I do sleep in cycles that seems to rotate btwn 3 and 6 hrs but I will monitor next time I make a pot. Bwheat is a complete protein with good amounts of thiamin, magnesium, fiber and iron. High carb but much lower glycemic and much healthier than refined flour cereal.
