some of the more frequent diary intolerance symptoms are gas, bloating, constipation. these links might help with info:

A person with lactose intolerance lacks an enzyme that is needed to digest milk sugar. When the person eats milk products, symptoms such as gas, bloating, and abdominal pain may occur.

That all fits. BAH. More questions is all I ever find. :(

After 11 months gluten-free my dh developed a lactose intolerance.We finally figured it out after he had been eating ice cream.About 1 hr after he was doubled up with the cramps-diarrhea/sweats,exhausted after.He also gets a pounding headache that usually lasts till the next day(no amount of pain killers seem to shift a 'lactose induced headache).

He seems to be okay with butter ,cheese and yoghurt though.

Ina weird way the lactose problem was easy to decipher,whereas my dh doesn't react to being 'glutened'-impossible to know if he's been glutened.!

Good luck!

I dunno if this plays into it at all.. but when I eat fresh oranges (LOVE THEM!) my lips get all tingly and numb.

my dairy reaction is instant gas, bloating, stomach discomfort, and then my body trys to get rid of it.

Vincent-- Are you trying to figure out if you have a casein intolerance or if you are lactose intolerant? You could try taking a lactaid pill with milk next time and if it helps you, perhaps its lactose intol...if it doesn't, than maybe its a more serious or casein intol. Just and idea...

Gosh I guess it could be Dietary Fructose Intolerance (Open Original Shared Link)

VydorScope Proficient
What are the symptoms of fructose malabsorption and fructose intolerance?

For both: Gastro-intestinal distress: flatulence, bloating, diarrhea, fatigue, low iron or other nutrient deficiency.

In Fructose Malabsorption there is clinical evidence associating it with mood disturbances and depression.

Sugar cravings are strongly associated with Fructose sensitivity.

The symptoms of Fructose sensitivity are very similar to Lactose Intolerance so they can be misdiagnosed. Long term effects of malabsorption are anaemia; poor skin, nails and hair; general ill health and even osteoporosis.

That fits better then latose I think cuase of the Anaemia.... :(

Bloating, gas, stomach pain, and the like are all symptoms of problems with dairy. It's important to figure out - as was mentioned - if it's lactose or casein. The easiest way is to first try having a glass of milk (nothing else that morning) and take Lactaid immediately before drinking it (or use Lactaid milk). If that *does* cause symptoms, try eliminating milk entirely for at least a week, then try the experiment again. If it does *not* cause symptoms, it's almost certainly due to lactose, and the lactaid may be the answer you need.

I was thinkig of trying that... cept I just got home from Kroger and forgot to get some!!!

If lactaid doesn't work for you, then you are most likely casein intolerant. I kind of figured that I am caseain intolerant since lactaid never seemed to work for me. I would take the highest dose of lactaid and only have a very small amount of dairy and I would still get sick. I just avoid dairy all together except for small amounts of lactose in medicine.

Okay I got lactate (sp?) stuff, the real full brand name rip off price verison, just to be sure. I think tommorow I am not gonna eat ANY dairy (Had cheeseburgers sans bun just now LOL) See if I start feeling better. If so then I will drink some milk and see what happens. If it goes bad, I will wiat till it passes then try the lactate sutffs.

If you want to be efficient about the testing, you want to test one variable at a time - since you can't easily test lactose without getting casein, you test lactose first, so it won't really tell you much (if you react) if you do dairy without the Lactaid before doing it with the Lactaid. It's a way to go, of course, it just means at least one additional test. ;-)

Also, give your system more than a day between tests. I'd say at least four days, but a week would be better. And don't add new foods that you don't usually have in it's place, or you'll be changing too many variables for a controlled test.

I didn't know that you were trying to determine if there was a fructose problem as well. I'd deal with that one separately, and first. Alternatively, you could try plain yogurt (live cultures) or kefir, which should have all the lactose brocken down. (Or see if you can find a formulation of lactase that does not have fructose in it.)

Hmm soooo if I do Milk +Lactase and still have a problem... then what do I know? Its either cassin OR fructose OR both tright? I want to deal with them one at a time, I just not sure I can.

VydorScope Proficient

IF it is cassin... whats my plan of action, just aviod dariy?

tarnalberry Community Regular

Yep, if it's casein, you must avoid *all* forms of dairy. It's another label hunting adventure! :blink: (I think dairy is harder than gluten, but that's my opinion.)

Im still gassey/in pain/etc today... how long does it take to "get over" it? I know it takes my son 2 weeks with gluten... but hopng this is not like that.

I too have problems with lactose intolerance, in fact I think I am suffering a severe attack today. I have been studying hard for finals and I thought I would treat myself to a gluten-free pizza (I usually make my own meals but a gluten-free store opened just down the road) well I bought the pizza and I was so focused on my studying that I forgot to take my lactaid pills. I remembered about an hour later when I started with a little gas. It wasn't too bad so I was thinking that maybe my intestines were healing and my lactose problem was starting to go away.

WRONG :o

For some reason it was delayed-I woke up this morning with the whole range of symptoms. It seems to come in waves and has been really bad at times. I did just eat some plain yogurt that I added xtra digestive enzymes to. the pain got worse for a while and I had to fight to keep from vomiting but now it seems to be helping-a little. Hopefully I will be better tomorrow, Finals start tuesday and I still have alot to study. but it's kinda hard to concentrate now.

Oh, I don't know if anyone else has this symptom but I find that I usually get EXTREME thirst from lactose. It used to be right after I ate or drank it but last night I woke up in the middle of the night and had to chug 2 large glasses of water-and was still thirsty.

For me, I get symptoms (headache, stomach ache, irritability) two hours after the dairy, and it lasts two or three days. It's similar to my gluten response in some ways, though shorter.

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      By the time I was 5 I had my first auto0immune disorder, Migraine headaches, with auras to blind me, and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. I was 5 years old, and my stepfather would have pizza night, milling his own flour, making thick cheesy gluten pizza, that I would eat and the next day, I would have serious migraines, and my mother & stepfather did nothing about my medical problems. When I was 17 in my first year at college, I was diagnosed with my 2nd known auto-immune disorder, Meniere's disease. I was a elite athlete, a swimmer, and soccer player. And once again my parents didn't think anything of understanding why I had a disorder only older people get. Now after my mother passed from Alzheimer's disease she also suffered with living with gluten. She had a rash for 30 years that nobody could diagnose. She was itchy for 45 years total. My brother had a encapsulated virus explodes in his spleen and when this happened his entire intestines were covered with adhesions, scar tissue and he almost lost his life. He has 5 daughters, and when I finally was diagnosed after being pregnant and my body went into a cytokine storm, I lost my chance to have children, I ended up having Hashimoto's disease, Degenerative Disc disease, and my body started to shut down during my first trimester. I am 6ft tall and got down to 119lbs. My husband and I went to a special immunologist in Terrace, California. They took 17 vials of blood as we flew there for a day and returned home that evening. In 3 weeks, we had the answer, I have Celiac disease. Once this was known, only my father and husband made efforts to change their way of feeding me. At the family cabin, my stepfather & mother were more worried that I would ruin Thanksgiving Dinner. It wasn't until one of my cousins was diagnosed with Celiac disease. They finally looked into getting Gluten Free flour and taking measures to limit "gluten" in meals. He did nothing but ask for me to pay for my own food and wi-fi when I came to the cabin to stay after our house burned down. When he informed my mother, they proceeding to get into a physical fight and she ended up with a black eye. The is just more trauma for me. Sam had no interest in telling the truth about what he wanted. He lied to my mother that he had asked my husband if I could pay for "food" when he asked Geoffrey if I had money to pay for my wi-fi. My mother hates when he spends so much time on the computer so he lied and said I could pay for my own food. I will remind you I weighed 119lbs at this time. (At 6ft) that is a very sick looking person. Neither parent was worried about my weight, they just fought about how cheap my stepfather was. As my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He had her sign over the will to a trust and added his children. He had no testimonial capacity at the time, so she signed without proper papers. Making this Trust null and void. When I gave my brother my childhood home, my mother stated I would be getting an equal part of inheritance to the house on Race. It currently worth 2.0 million $. I got nothing, and my stepfather has since disowned me b/c of my claim and he knows that my mother would never have left it uneven between my biological brother and myself. She sat me and my husband down, as we lived at the Race Street house and treated and took care of it as our own. My brother took over b/c he was going through a horrific divorce and needed a home so he could get a better custody deal with his soon to be ex-wife who was a Assist DA for Denver. She used the girls against him, and he & I were the primary caregivers. We, Judd and I spent the most time with them pre the divorce. Once Judd moved into the house, he threw all of my mother, grandmother and my family heirlooms out to the Goodwill. Nobody told my mother about this as she was going through cancer treatment and had Alzheimer's disease in her mother and her sister. My stepfather and biological brother took advantage of this matter, as I called a "family council" that my brother just never could make it to at the last moment. All of the furnishing, kitchen ware, everything was in the house my brother just moved into. He had had 2 weddings, I chose to elope b/c my stepfather ruined my brother's first wedding by talking about his relationship with my brother in front of my dad and his entire family, insulting him and having my grandfather leave the ceremony. It was a disaster. My stepfather just plays dumb and blames my father for the slight. I was the only child not to have a wedding. So, my mother and stepfather never had to pay for a thing. My mother had had an agreement with my father he'd pay for college and all medical issues with their kids, myself and Judd. So truly my mother never had to pay for anything big for me in her entire life. I am looking for anyone that has had a similar story, where they grew up in a household that had a baker that regularly milled flour and ate gluten. What happened to you? DId you suffer from different auto-immune diseases b/c of living with a baker using "gluten" Please let me know. I have been looking into legal ways to get my stepfather to give me what my mother had promised, and he erased. Thank you for listening to my story. Jane Donnelly

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.
