Anyone Not Able To Add Back Dairy?

I have been gluten free for about 2 years. Back in Dec. I added back dairy. It caused me problems so I started popping lactaid pills and using lactaid milk. It seems like it has stopped working. I have had horrible trapped gas and mucus and gas pain. I had yogurt last month and broke out with cold sores and it's been giving me headaches. Is it possible to become entirely intolerant after 2 years to dairy. Does this seem like casein since the lactaid stuff isnt working anymore or is it just possible to develop this new intolerance?

Thanks!

I cut out dairy for the first year. When I tried to add it back in I had a similar experience, except I didn't try using lactaid. I seemed okay with yogurt and hard cheeses at first so I stuck to those, but I started having bloating. Then I started noticing I was congested and coughing everytime I ate dairy. Then I started having severe allergic reactions where my throat felt like it was closing shut. I somehow developed a milk allergy and now I have to carry an epi-pen. The milk allergy thing seems to be rare according to my allergist. But he said you can develop new allergies or intolerances anytime in your life or it's possible to be born with a mild allergy/intolerance that get worse as you get older. In my case I think I was born with a milk allergy. My mom said she had to take me off of milk products as a toddler for a while and I had asthma which is now practically gone off dairy. Bottom line is it's possible your intolerant to casein and it's new or it's possible you have always had it and being gluten free just made it more noticeable. I would go back off dairy if I were you.

I am going to cut out all dairy again. It just does not agree with me. Getting cold sores, mucous stools, headaches, knee pain is not worth it! I am kind of thinking that I am casein intolerant b/c even that coffeemate creamer that is lactose free makes me sick and it has casein in it.

are you sure that coffeemate creamer is gluten-free? I seem to remember some other posters have trouble with it recently. I'll see if I can find the thread and post it for you.

ETA: Okay, never mind. YOU were the one asking about so I guess you got your answers already and eliminated it.

I think taking out all casein is a great idea.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
