Reaction To Dairy

Hello :) I've been gluten free for a few months now. When the dr told me to try the diet he also told me to try not eating dairy well casein also. When I first started I had a gluten free tv dinner that had dairy but I don't really remember reacting to it. I didn't want to push it so I only did this maybe one other time just to see. Well a little over a week ago I ate at a gluten free place but the meal I had had cream and cheese in it. Well :/ lol by the time I got home my stomach was swollen. I had problems with c before this that's why he suggested going gluten free. I was going ok before this happened and after eating the dairy it's like everything just stopped moving again :( Over the weekend I gained like 3 lbs :( And lately I've been feeling bleh. So I keep wondering if this is still from the dairy or if I glutened myself. :( Can a reaction like this last this long? I wasn't drinking much water during this because who wants to drink water when you feel like that. I finally wanted a bunch of water last night so hopefully that means it's in the process of clearing up. I haven't really had an appetite either which I had a problem with before going gluten-free. I eat and would eat anyway. But it was nice actually having my stomach growl before. Does this sound familiar to anyone? :unsure:

That is my reaction to both gluten and dairy. So, it really could be either. And yes, it can take several days before you feel better. Try keeping the dairy and gluten out of the diet for awhile, then maybe just test dairy. Hopefully you can figure it out.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
