Gluten Free But Other Intolerances?

This is my first post here, I've been gluten-free for a year now. The transition wasn't too bad for me because my sister had been diagnosed with Coeliac a few months before. After eliminating the gluten and finally getting experienced enough at it to be pretty certain I wasn't consuming any rogue gluten, I am still having problems from various things.

Dairy

I have been having a weird reaction to dairy, not really similar to my gluten symptoms. No GI symptoms, but if I eat dairy, within an hour or two my skin gets really weirdly greasy, and I can smell it too, and my eyes feel weird and clogged up, and my tears are thicker than they should be. Cheese was particularly problematic, but I would usually feel perfectly fine if I had AA Organic butter. So for a long time I wasn't dairy free, because it was confusing and I didn't know what was actually the problem. It seems to be casein is the issue, but only if I consume a fair amount, that would explain why I could tolerate the butter better than other dairy. Does this seem reasonable? I am now working towards casein free, but I find it is much more difficult for me than gluten. Since butter hasn't really been a problem, I will probably try using Ghee that is labeled casein free.

Rice

This one only seems to happen if I eat rice directly, I have no problem with gluten-free bread that has rice flour. If I eat white rice or rice noodles I feel really weird the next morning. It is very difficult to describe, it's just not good. Usually I have rice with curry or something, and I was thinking it might be the coconut milk, but I also feel funny after pad thai. I am very careful and all the ingredients in the curry and pad thai are definitely gluten free, and are even labeled as such. I have no problem with corn, gluten-free Oats, or gluten-free bread, so it seems weird to me that I would tolerate all those but be sick after plain rice. Any thoughts on this would be helpful. I have been mostly avoiding rice lately.

There are other things, but I don't want this post to go on forever, and I'd rather not get a complete scattershot of replies, so I will post those some other time.

Thanks,

Miko

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      That sounds very hernia inducing work! You confirm what I have suspected, I get pain just to the right of the umbilical hernia, I am sure there is a connection. If do see my gastroenterologist I'll mention it again. I can't help thinking I've also got an issue in my groin, perhaps a hernia threatening, I guess an ultrasound would be needed to confirm...

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      For the Inguinal hernia I could definitely feel it, and it came with an obvious bulge that appeared soon after doing a project where I was drilling holes on concrete using a very old school regular hand drill with mason bit, instead of a hammer drill with mason bit--this left me squatting over the drill putting my weight on it for several hours (the hammer...

      Healthy diet leading to terrible bloating

      @Scott Adams Strange question but can you actually feel your hernia? I have so many abdominal lumps and bumps of longstanding (my GP said it's fat!) that I sometimes wonder if an inguinal hernia could be missed. I am quite sure some of my pain is from my umbilical hernia but that first came about courtesy of my second pregnancy.

      Traveling gluten-free in Ireland

      Thanks for sharing this! I've always wanted to go to Ireland, and we did include Ireland in a recent top travel destinations article, so it's nice to know that we got that right:

The amount of gluten she did/didn't eat would not matter for that part, whether or not she actually has celiac disease. If instead she had had normal levels of IGA in her blood, then the question of how much gluten she was eating would become relevant.

      For the Inguinal hernia I could definitely feel it, and it came with an obvious bulge that appeared soon after doing a project where I was drilling holes on concrete using a very old school regular hand drill with mason bit, instead of a hammer drill with mason bit--this left me squatting over the drill putting my weight on it for several hours (the hammer drill would not have required this level of stress, nor the time it took). Bad idea--learn from my mistake in being "lazy" and not renting (or buying) the proper tool for the job. My umbilical hernia was around for many years, and I didn't feel that one at all, so never worried about it. My doctor basically recommended doing both in one surgery, which seemed like wise move.  As far as the possible IBS connection to either, it was definitely apparent after getting the Inguinal hernia, which is why I asked my doctor about that, but after getting both fixed I realize that the umbilical hernia likely also had mild IBS effects over the years.
