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!

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)

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.

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.

Well...Test..

Dariy w/o lactate - Reaction? Then either Cass or lactose.

Dairy w/ lactate - Reaction Then Either Cass or FRUCTOSE

Soooo its not that easy.. lactate has Fructose in it. :(

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.)

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.)

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.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      About Celiac Remission

      This idea comes up often, but it’s important to separate theory from what’s actually supported by evidence. In celiac disease, the immune system does not “forget” gluten in a permanent or reliable way, even after long periods of avoidance, and the celiac genes do not turn off. While antibody levels (like tTG IgA) can normalize on a strict gluten-free diet an...

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Gluten testing is normally reported in ppm (parts per million), which is equivalent to mg/kg, not micrograms by itself. A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold; if it’s <0.025 mcg per kilogram, it would be extremely low and well within GF limits. Without the denominator, the result is incomplete. It’s reasonable to follow up with the company and ask them to confirm the result in ppm using a validated method (like ELISA R5)—that’s the standard used to assess gluten safety.

      Medications

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted. The fact that it helped bloating suggests it may be affecting gut–nerve signaling, which makes sense in the context of SIBO, but that doesn’t mean the side effects should be ignored. You’re carrying a heavy load right now with ongoing skin, eye, and neurological uncertainty, and living in that kind of limbo is exhausting on its own. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed and discouraged when systems and providers don’t meet you where you are—your experience is valid, and continuing to advocate for yourself, even when it’s hard, really does matter. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
