Can you eat milk on a gluten free diet?

Answer 1

Generally yes if its a real dairy shake (many are not). Even though a food may contain primarily gluten free ingredients, there is a strong potential for cross contamination. For example, if a restaurant is making your milk shake in the same area that they prepare bread, there is a risk of exposure. I use One Source gluten free shakes. www.onesource.md

Answer 2

In general dairy is acceptable for a gluten free diet. You have to be careful with products like yogurt, cottage cheese, and cheese spreads since some may contain gluten. Be especially watchful for modified food starch, which is often found in processed foods. Unless it specifically states that it is from corn, avoid it.

Many people who need to eat gluten free are also lactose intolerant. In that case, I would advise avoiding dairy.

Answer 3

There is a high chance that people on the gluten-free diet are also lactose intolerant (especially if you have Celiac Disease), but unless your doctor says you can't, normal gluten-free milk is fine to drink.
