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.

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)

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      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.

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

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. 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.
