Lactose?

Hi everyone,

I've been gluten-free for a little over a month now. The past few weeks I think I've been having trouble with milk products. I notice myself having a great deal of gas after I have any milk products:-( Now my friend is lactose intolerant, and her doctor had recommended that she keep yogurt in her diet, because the active culture will negate the lactose effect (so to speak). Well apparently the same doesn't apply to me, even the smallest amount of yogurt leaves me feeling puffed up like a hot air balloon!

My question is, at least for a few weeks/months (until my system straightens itself out), do you think that I would react better to soy milk? I finally found Health Valley's Rice Crunch'ems cereal, and I really want to be able to enjoy a nice big bowl of cereal with milk again, one of my favorite things to eat.

And does anyone have any suggestions what to do about the excess gas I experience? Unfortunately because of the celiac disease, I eat a lot of vegetables which could cause some of it (but the veggies fill me up!), I drink a lot of water (I'm always thirsty).

Thanks in advance!

      @Rebeccaj,  When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air.  Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract.   If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies.

      ok thanks for your advice. But my question was what happens when someone you know in a house is cooking pasta or toast that's flour  Airbourne without eating.?

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health.  Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption.  Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms.   Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming in macrophages https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39890689/#:~:text=Our mechanistic study revealed that,necessary to protect against colitis. "Conclusion and implications: Our study provides evidence linking thiamine deficiency with proinflammatory macrophage activation and colitis aggravation, suggesting that monitoring thiamine status and adjusting thiamine intake is necessary to protect against colitis."

      Do keep in mind that most gluten free flours are not enriched nor fortified with vitamins and minerals like gluten containing flours are required to do.   Consuming a diet high in carbohydrates without sufficient B vitamins to digest and process them into energy can lead to High Calorie Malnutrition and weight gain. Deficiency symptoms of B vitamins resemble gastrointestinal symptoms when after eating gluten.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a form of Thiamine deficiency.   Do talk to your doctors about supplementing with essential nutrients while on the gluten free diet, especially if you're consuming processed foods.

      Do be sure to talk to your doctors and dieticians about supplementing with a B Complex and extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine, TTFD, thiamine hydrochloride) and other nutrients one might be low in due to malabsorption of nutrients in Celiac Disease. This study shows that Thiamine deficiency and Vitamin C deficiency is frequently found in Hashimoto's.  From personal experience, Thiamine and Vitamin C has helped my Hashimoto's.
