Gluten And Casein Sensitive Results

[Caroline's mommy]

We received our daughter's Enterolab results last night and are still completely overwhelmed. What do the results mean when she is sensitive to gluten and casein yet does not have malabsorption issues? Is it just that there hasn't been a lot of damage to her intestines yet? We were definitely thinking there was some kind of malabsorption issue due to the undigested pieces of fruits and veggies in her diapers at times. This is so confusing. We really put 2 and 2 together with the casein sensitivity on our own this weekend when she had a huge blow out Saturday after drinking milk Friday night (she has been refusing milk the past 2 weeks so I let her drink some of my chocolate milk). No milk/dairy Saturday, more normal bm Sunday. And does anyone know if yogurt can be part of a casein free diet? I can't find any solid info on that yet. Here are her results:

Gluten Sensitivity Testing

Fecal Antigliadin IgA 128 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)

Fecal Antitissue Transglutaminase IgA 69 Units (Normal Range <10 Units)

Microscopic Fecal Fat Score: 77 Units (Normal Range < 300 Units)

HLA-DQ Gene Molecular analysis: HLA-DQB1*0501, 0301

Food Sensitivity Testing

Fecal anti-casein (cow's milk) IgA antibody 114 Units (Normal Range

<10 Units)

No, yoghurt can't be a part of a casein free diet. Casein is the protein in dairy, it's still there in yoghurt. What you might have been thinking about is a lactose free, or a low lactose diet...lactose is the sugar in milk, and yoghurt has slightly less lactose so some people who are lactose - intolerant can eat (some) yoghurt.
