Whats The Deal With Cheese?

Trying to figure out why cheese seems to cause more of a reaction to me than other forms of dairy. Any thoughts?

Well, that I don't know. Cheese is the only form of dairy that I really liked. I did use butter for some things. Can't say that either one bothered me more.

Food colorings?

Higher casein content, additives/colorants, iodized salt?

Don't eat any colored cheese. I have been avoiding dairy because it makes me tired, achy and my face breaks out. The other day, I caved and had a milkshake...and I felt just fine.

Yesterday I had a slice of provolone cheese and was broke out within hours. Hardly able to get off the couch today. Same thing happened when I tried a little bit of Feta on my salad too. I'm puzzled. Does cheese have higher casein content or something?

There's less water in it, so it might have a higher concentration of anything milk would have? It's higher in fat and fat is harder to digest? Butter is almost 100% fat, I believe, but the combo of fat and milk together with culturing might make it a more complicated food to break down.

I think it might be because of the fermentation. Mold is used to produce cheese. I know some others mentioned strong reactions to fungi.

I haven't had cheese for 15 years, because I looked 9 months pregnant 15 minutes after eating it.

      You might also consider a low iodine diet as iodine is know to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. But be careful with that as well as there are health problems that can accrue from iodine deficiency.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      Hi, Yes, the rash has gone. I still get the itches but there is nothing to see now, apart from a lot of discoloured areas where the rash was worst. Occasionally I get a single lump come up, a bit like hives, but no bigger than a pea and it goes after 24hrs and a steroid cream application. And yes, giving the gluten-free diet 110%. Very careful...

      Welcome to the the celiac.com community, @suek54! Is the Dapsone getting the rash under control? Are you practicing a gluten free diet yet? The only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis is celiac disease.

      Hi Im new to this game, so bear with me. May through to December last year totally miserable, covered literally head to toe in the worst rash ever, itching like I just cant explain. After seven different medics told me just to "keep putting the cream on, whatever it is will go in the end" finally one lovely doc diagnosed dermatitis herpetiformis...

      Healthy Gluten Free Foods low sugar that you found?

      I know gluten free proteins like eggs and yogurt but nuts especially trail mixes are tricky as they are hard to find certified gluten free trail mixes especially w/o added sugars. I agree subscription boxes are hit or miss I think I have found RXBar with simple ingredients no added sugars gluten-free might be a great protein bar.

Very careful about any cross contamination.  This is my fifth autoimmune condition so well and truly on that bandwagon.

Biopsy 6 weeks ago and Dapsone, which I seem to be tolerating OK so far.  The NHS is in permanent backlog so no result yet but just wanted to say hello to anyone else with this maddening condition.
