Can You Have A Milk Allergy And Be Lactose Intolerant?

Maya — Thu, 14 May 2009 09:42:18 +0000

Just wondering if you can have both? My mom and brother are lactose intolerant and my son just got diagnosed with several allergies, one being milk. Just wondering if my son could also be lactose intolerant or if all is stomach pain symptoms are just from his allergy.

Lactose intolerance and milk allergy are different…
And yes you can have both.
Now lactose intolerance is not necessarily a bad thing.
Humans are designed to consume human milk.
There are certain enzymes in cow milk, which we are ill-equipped to digest.
As a result, a small portion of every dairy product humans consume remains unprocessed in our system…
Over time this results in clogged arteries.
When someone is lactose intolerant, their body is saying:
“Hey, this stuff isn’t good for me…get it out!”
Nothing is wrong with that at all!
Now, food allergies are a completely different subject.
There are two types of food allergies: immediate and delayed.
These immunologic reactions are further classified into:
Type I (immediate)…
And Types II, III, and IV (delayed).
And yes, you can have both immediate and delayed allergies.
The most common immediate food allergens are:
Nuts, soy, milk, eggs, wheat, seafood.
Here the individual is having a direct reaction to the food itself.
The symptoms will occur within a few minutes to an hour of eating and include:
Itching in the mouth.
Difficulty swallowing and breathing.
Nausea / vomiting.
Diarrhea / abdominal pain.
Hives / eczema.
Lightheadedness / weakness.
Asthma / anaphylaxis.
It appears your son has immediate food allergies to nuts, milk, wheat, and I would not be surprised if soy was the mystery culprit.
That said…
There are about 132 common delayed food allergens.
They include the above six foods, as well as, the most common fruits, veggies, grains and meats.
What is interesting about delayed food allergies—and why they go unrecognized—is that the individual may not produce symptoms for hours or days and they most often are chronic.
Delayed food allergies better known as ‘food sensitivities’ attack the immune system.
When an individual consumes such allergen the body does not perceive this food to be nourishment, but instead deems it an enemy and produces antibodies to attack it. Over time this can result in chronic fatigue, depression, and lower the immune system, which can cause a host of other complications.
Furthermore, it upsets the natural flora of the gut, which permits the overgrowth of yeast or Candida. Granted this does not happen over night, but Candida is responsible for acne, anxiety, insomnia, depression, ADHD, yeast infections, fungus, hair loss, leaky gut, irritable bowl syndrome, etc.
If you have a chronic illness, you have food allergies.
It is not to the other way around.
Quite a lot of damage for a glass of milk…eh?
So what to do?
Forget the double blind…
Milk does NOT do a body good.
That is a marketing ploy put out by milk farmers to increase profits.
Have your son take the ELISA delayed food allergy test.
Make sure to test him on all types of delayed food sensitivities.
Then keep him off all allergens for 6 months and retest.
On the brightside, your son is young, and will more than likely grow out of all immediate food allergies by the time he is 13 years old.
I commend you on your patience and perseverance to find the best information for your son.

If You Have Celiac Disease Or Wheat Allergy, What Foods Do You Eat?

Maya — Wed, 13 May 2009 09:33:57 +0000

I was diagnosed with coeliac disease 7 years ago, and the diet is very nutritious and easy to follow. Basically, you are not really depriving yourself of anything, because, there are so many healthier alternatives for coeliacs. You can eat all fruits and vegies, fresh meats, glutenfree cereals, youghurts, icecream, dairy products, ohh, the list goes on. The only thing that you must avoid, obviusls, is anything that is wheat based, and anything that contains gluten. See, it is the protein in the wheat, called gluten, which damages the lining of a coeliacs stomach. If you have just been diagnosed, then, you have to become an expert at readind labels. Anything and everything you buy, be sure to read labels, as youd be surprised that wheat is in so many things. I didnt know till 2 years after my diagnosis that soy sauce had wheat in it, but you can buy the wheatfree soy sauce. Also, cornflour is wheat based. Be sure to buy (maize) cornflour. There are also alot of foods, including chocolate and junk food that contain glucose syrup (from wheat), but these foods are very safe for coeliacs, because what alot of them dont know is that, yes, glucose syrup is derived from wheat, but once it is processed, there is no detectable gluten found in the syrup whatsoever. I could go on and on, but if you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

I have been eating gluten free for over 5 years now. I started out eating vegetables, fruits, and non processed meats. The first thing I added was salad dressings and how to read the ingredients in them really got me started reading labels and how to find gluten. My favorite salad dressing is Annies Roasted Red Pepper Vinegarette.
The key for us is shopping and only bringing home gluten free things and then everything is ready to go and if you keep shopping for things that really taste good rather than just being passable, then your friends will even eat your foods without any problems. This weekend we are having two other couples spend the weekend and they will eat all my snack food without any problem.
About the only thing that we haven’t been able to replicate to an acceptable level is biscuits. And that is mainly because I made really good ones and haven’t spent much time trying to replicate them.
I eat a relatively low carb diet most of the time and find that George Stella’s two cookbooks are almost naturally gluten free.
Whole Foods carries a pretty good selection of gluten free things. As a matter of fact, our local whole foods store is having a gluten free tour of the store this Thursday(1/17).
I also regularly eat out and more and more restaurants will take care of gluten free diets. Carrabbas has a gluten free menu as well as many chains.
Wine is acceptable and Anheuser Busch has had a gluten free beer out for a year now called Redbridge.
If you have anymore questions feel free to contact me.
The important thing is to look at all the things you can have and not concentrate on what is off limits.
