Guest guest Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Hi, Recently, a knowledgeable celiac told me that it was a good idea to stay off dairy for the first 9-12 months of celiac healing. The reason was that the portion of the cilia (tip) that adsorbs the casein protein is pretty well damaged from gluten hurting the lower portion of the cilia. In order to properly digest casein, the main part of the cilia has to heal first before the top part can come back. Once the cilia is completely healed (as best it can), it can handle milk. Of course this assumes one does not have dairy intolerance. I have gone back to my source for more information but while I am waiting, I thought I would put it out there. I'm interested because from all my research in the past 3 months, this is the first time I have heard this or heard it in a way that it sunk in. :-) If you have it, I'd love to be referred to some source material on the casein connection with celiac. Are there other foods in the same category as milk? On another subject...Is there a gluten-free soy sauce to be had? San-J Wheat-free, Low Sodium Tamari...is it safe? It says the alcohol they use is corn based but they do not go so far as to call the product gluten-free. Thanks in advance. Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
