At My Wits End. Pain!

Well, I gave in and tried my dairy intolerance yet again. I don't know why I thought it would be any different this time. I have been gluten free for 3 years. They said that I would be able to add back dairy after 6 months. I think I am one of those celiacs who wont ever be able to have dairy again. I started out slowly...Just a little milk in my coffee. That was ok at first but it seems like after a week of doing it, it has built up and caused a horrible reaction. I have cold sores, can't get enough water, backache, severe intestinal pain. Mucus in stool (when there is any) I honestly feel very similar to when I am glutened. Horrible. I guess I react to gluten, corn and dairy all with the same symptoms. I think the last straw was today at lunch, I drank a juice glass of milk. I have the glass in the intestines feeling that I get from being glutened. (I know I wasnt glutened) Can casein feel like this too? It hurts...ugh.

Can casein cause an autoimmune response like gluten does because this is not a lactose issue I am sure.

Also, can casein cause joint pain like gluten does?

According to an article I found on the site here, dairy can cause villi flattening, which would give you the same feeling as gluten.

I'm so sorry..but it looks like you may have to stay dairy free? :(

Thanks for posting that article. It makes sense now. I guess I am going to join the no dairy ever club! B)

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
