Dairy Products On A Gluten Free Diet?

I am trying to give up all dairy products, because I know that in the early stages of being gluten free, this is usually helpful.

I have been gluten free now for a month...feel a lot better, but there are still a few lingering symptoms.

Right now, the only dairy product I consume is Organic milk...just a little with my gluten free cereal in the morning.

Do you think this is bad or is it okay to just have a little dairy? Could this small amount be affecting me still? I really need cereal and like to have atleast a little milk with cereal. Does anyone drink organic milk on a gluten free diet..or know if that really makes a difference? Or should I just eliminate the milk altogether?

Thanks!

When you are first diagnosed you are likely to be lactose intolerant because of the damage in the intestine. You might still be able to drink small amounts of milk. Open Original Shared Link

I wasn't able to handle milk at all long before diagnosis, but after 6 months or so gluten free, I was able to handle dairy again.

One way to tell would be to eliminate it for a day or two to see if there is any change. You could also get a lactose intolerance test.

I have been working with a naturopathic doctor on my diet. I have been gluten-free for about 8 months now and dairy free for about 1 month(with great results!) and she told me that if I have an intolerance to milk it is best to cut it out altogether because even small amounts can cause problems for my body. I have suffered from severe allergies and multiple sinus infections throughout my life and she highly suspects dairy as a problem. I had to give up all of my milk and cheese products but I have found that I really like vanilla almond milk in cereal or using it to make pancakes because it is sweet. I use the unsweetened version to cook with and also they soy milk is ok. Once you are completely off then you can see what kind of a difference it makes for you.

Try almond milk, its gluten and dairy free, and excellent!

I am over 3 months gluten free and a little while ago I noticed my linger problems seemed to be getting much worse, I narrowed it down to the milk I was having on my cereal in the morning. Within a week of eliminating milk I was so much better! I so far can still eat cheese, yogurt and sour cream in limited amounts.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Violent reaction to gluten after going gluten-free?

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
