Casein Intolerance - Has It Ever Improved For You?


The Horticulturalist

Recommended Posts

The Horticulturalist Apprentice

Have been gluten and dairy free for a year or so, tried lactose free but the GI symptoms were just the same.

Having been unable to find anything online about this I thought I'd ask here if anyone who was once casein intolerant in the past is now able to eat it, and how long did this take?

I can leave the gluten behind, but I'd love to think that I'd be able to enjoy cheese again in the future.

Hi horticulturist,

I was able to tolerate casein about 18 months after eliminating it. (I may have been able to reintroduce it earlier, but I was reluctant because of the side effects.)

Once I wasn't having problems with it, I went a little overboard.

Had so many cheeses, ice cream, milk, half-n-half, all of that, risotto.

This week I'm having a rough time. It could maybe be the chick pea flour I used in flat bread (with some cheese). So for right now they're both on hold... to be tried again after I give my system some time to repair.

I started intolerant to cows milk. Sheep and goat were OK but I would react to even the small amounts of cow casein in butter or non-dairy creamer. It took about a year until I could eat cow casein again. I discovered it by accident, when I ate something cooked in butter by mistake.

I did my first casein challenge a couple weeks ago after being 15 months gluten-free/DF/SF. It was only about 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese on gluten free pizza. Prior to going gluten-free/DF/SF, that amount of casein would make the room spin within minutes and I'd be brain foggy for days. And while I can't say I wasn't without reaction - about 10 minutes after eating I felt just a bit "weird" in the head, and had a minor tummy pinching in the hours afterward - I'm still encouraged. I didn't have any other intestinal trouble as a result, although I've never really reacted that way in the past.

I plan to wait a few more months and try again.

My daughter and I have been gluten and dairy free for >6 months. Previously, any amount of either would throw us for a loop.

Last night, we tried a gluten free pizza with mozzarela from Mellow Mushroom. I read the dairy issue may lessen when your GI heals from the gluten damage.

The pizza caused no problems for either of us. Maybe, we can have some from time to time.

This is great news for us!

Anyone have similar experiences?

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
