Casein In Butter In Pamelas Cookies


RGDenver

Recommended Posts

RGDenver Newbie

I recently thru a blood test found out that I'm intolerant to Casein, Cottage Cheese, Cow & Goat Milk, Whey & Yogurt. I'm ok for Cheddar Cheese and Mozzarella Cheese. I also tested positive for Egg Whites, Almonds, Gluten and Baker & Brewers Yeast. The dairy component says nothing about butter. I purchased some Pecan Shortbread cookies, because it was one of the few products without eggs and almonds and yeast. But now I am realizing it contains butter. Should I be concerned? The allergy list from my tests says nothing about butter......should I eat them or not ?

Same question about Udies Choclate Muffins.....they contain eggs.....since I'm only intolerant to the whites and not the yolks, is it safe to eat or not?

Thanks for any help!

That test makes no sense. If you are intolerant to casein, you can't have cheese - cheddar, mozzarella, or otherwise. Casein is a large part of cheese....

The butter question is more complicated.

Butter is milk fat. The only reason it has casein in it is that it takes a lot of effort to remove all the protein/carbs from milk to get *just* the fat. (Ghee, clarified butter, has done just that, though I do not know to what tolerance level.) So, it may have casein, but a very, very, very small amount. For some people, that small of an amount is alright (I'm not talking about gluten intolerance/celiac at all here), for some it may not be. For you? Only you can tell.

If something contains eggs, you have to assume they contain the egg yolk and egg white (or they would tell you). So, if you're avoiding egg whites, you'd have to avoid anything with whole egg too.

Hi, and welcome.

Butter is dairy. If you are intolerant to casein (milk protein) you must avoid butter. In some cases, ghee (claried butter) is tolerated.

Dairy issues involve casein, as mentioned above, and lactose. Lactose is the sugar in milk. In order for you to digest it, the enzyme lactase is required. Lactase is produced in the tips of the villi--the same part of the small intestine that is damaged by celiac disease.

As a result, many recovering from celiac disease experience lactose intolerance while the villi heal. This process may take several months or more. Once the villi are healed, it may be possible to reintroduce lactose into the diet. If you have an intolerance to casein, it is likely permanent.

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
