Lactose Or Casein?

Something just started bothering me again. I have not eaten out, and have been over anal about my meals. I'm assuming it's dairy. In 2007 I cut out all my dairy(lactose and casein) and egg. I felt great and lost a ton of weight. I dont drink milk(I use almond) and I use coconut milk coffee creamer. I cut cheese as well. Tonight I made wings for the football game. There was nothing on them but salt and pepper. I dipped them in ranch. My stomach is killing me, I have reflux and heartburn. For lunch I had a salad with ham turkey and roastbeef, with mayo, mustard, and vinegar(I know sounds gross. I miss the mayo and mustard more than I miss the bread)

Tomorrow I'm going to cut the dairy. Do I cut ALL dairy, including the "hidden" dairy( like listed in the allergen menu) or just the obvious milk and cheese?

Anyone know of a non dairy sour cream? I can't find the so delicious yogert anywhere. I really want to try it. I use earth balance butter.

In the Hidden Valley bottled Ranch dressing there are several things that could be an issue depending what you ahve problems with: soybean oil, egg yolk, nonfat buttermilk, soy, vinegar, xanthan gum. It makes my stomach sick, for me I think it is the xanthan gum.

I use Albertson's store brand dry ranch mixed with plain (not sweetened) Greek yogurt.

Mayo also has soybean oil, eggs and vinegar.

It could be the dairy but I would would wonder if soy, eggs or the xanthan gum could also be culprits.

test yourself with lactose-free dairy items to see. If the symptoms are entirely gastro, it could very well be lactose, but casein is a possibility too. if you have any neuro symptoms at all, casein is more likely.

Going back as long as I remember I have never eaten ranch dressing (after one trial :ph34r: ). Don't know why, don't care to know why. Never had it when I was growing up, don't need it now. Best Foods mayo used to be semi-okay when they made it with canola oil; now it's soybean oil. Now I have Alfa One mayo made with rice bran oil from Australia :) in the fridge. Don't use it a lot because I have weaned myself from mayo back to my Kiwi ways after all those California years. Hub still goes through a jar of Best Foods every week or two :blink:

With the dairy, I would cut out all obvious dairy and see how it goes. If you have to go farther, then you have to go farther. Have you tried making the SCD 24-hour yogurt? I do that in the U.S. by wrapping an electric heating pad around a plastic 1 litre jar of yogurt I have mixed up for 24 hours.

Your reply was a woah for me. I never drew that correlation before gastro-lactose, caesin-neuro.

I'm cutting out a bunch of foods including dairy right now on the GAPS diet, but I'm not being OCD about it. I'm using ghee for frying because it has almost no casein, and I broke down at a coffee shop and had a little cream in my coffee yesterday. B)

I was figuring on going to "allergy diet" careful if I didn't start feeling better but it seems to be helping.

I can tell you from personal experience that casein-neuro/lactose-gastro is NOT true for everyone. I had stomach-aches from cow casein when I first went gluten-free. Goat or sheep dairy was not a problem so I know it wasn't lactose.

naw, what I said was, lactose - gastro, casein - gastro and/or neuro. I've just never heard of neuro symptoms coming from lactose is all.

Check your almond milk! Ugh, I got hit yesterday and bad!! I'd bought almond milk before and was fine. This one had carrageenan in it, and talk about make me sick. I had trouble sleeping last nigh and my stomach feels a mess yet today.

It seems that since I've given up gluten, I'm more intolerant to dairy than I was! It really affects my sinus. I've been trying to cut it out. I tend to get anxiety attacks when I stop it. So right now, I'm taking two college courses and I can't afford to lose sleep due to anxiety.. so I'm cutting it down slowly...trying to wean myself. It's harder to get off dairy than it was quitting smoking 23 years ago!! :blink:

Ah, that makes more sense. Hard to figure how you could get neuro symptoms from lactose.

Yes, it's hard! Unfortunately that means we're getting the opiate-like effects. I had to cut out the cheese first, substituting with avocado or nuts. I ate smaller and smaller slices of cheese until I ran out. That got rid of most of the dairy I was eating. Then I finished off my coffee milk over the next few days and I was dairy-free.

Are you gluten-free also?

I dipped them in ranch. ... not all dressings are gluten-free ..

ham turkey and roastbeef ... not all hams [processed meats] are gluten-free ..

mayo, mustard, and vinegar ... not all vinegars are gluten-free ..

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nausea

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?
