Casein allergy

[Guest guest]

Hi

I'm new to the group, was diagnosed with Hashimotos in 2006 and have managed my

condition with T4 and nutrimed natural thyroid as a supplement. My thyroid

function fluctuates so I have had to learn to monitor through symptoms as the

blood tests are too irregular to be of much use.

Just wondering if anyone else has casein sensitive enteropathy? It's a form of

coeliac disease, but to cows milk protein rather than gluten. There's no blood

test for specific antibodies as there is with coeliac disease, but it is

apparently just as common but rarely diagnosed.

It caused me a lot of problems with diarrhoea, dry eyes and mouth, and fatigue

for several years before I cut milk out and all those symptoms resolved. Until

then the drs thought I had sjogrens syndrome. I would be interested in knowing

if this rings any bells with any other group members.

Thanks
