I have no insurance how can i tell if i am lactose or celiac intolerant without the help of a dr?
just to add to my question, i have some symptoms that seem to apply to both celiac intolerance AND lactose intolerance. I'm trying the whole elimination diet now, one by one...but can't celiac actually cause lactose intolerance??
What else can I help you with?
Celiac disease mouth blisters?
Sometimes they do. Not always, but for me 10-15% of the time. With Lactose (I am also Lactose intolerant) 90% of the time I get mouth blisters. It can also depend on how sensitive you are.
Is lactose intolerance linked to celiac disease?
No, it is not.
Why is lactose intolerance associated with celiac disease?
People with celiac disease may also experience lactose intolerance because they don't produce enough of the enzyme lactase, which breaks down the sugar in milk into a form the body can absorb.

Is it all right to eat dairy products on a gluten free diet?
well, let's see if I can answer this one. There are cilia (the little hair like projections) in the lining of your small intestines. These cilia also produce the enzyme that helps digest the dairy protein. Gluten (for those of us who are gluten-intolerant or have celiac's disease) weakens/destroys the cilia, thus making them unable to produce the enzyme to digest the dairy protein. I'm lactose intolerant and gluten intolerant. I developed the gluten sensitivity 20 to 30 years ago, but it was diagnosed as IBS, crohn's, ulcers, just plain crazy, etc., etc. 5 years ago I became lactose intolerant - right out of the blue. Then one day I was talking with a gentleman who told me that he had celiac's disease and what it was. I told him I was LI, and then he explained how the two worked together. It was like 1000 pounds dropped from my shoulders. I wasn't crazy. Anyway, I would guess it's best not to eat dairy - or if you do, take a lactaid. But I wouldn't do it often.
Is something wrong with your digestive system if your stomach is reasonably flat but the second you eat it turns into a pot belly and what can you do about this?
You may have a lactose intolerance problem. If your body does not produce lactase your digestive system will not adequately process milk and can give you quit a bit of gas. Also bloating and a pot belly are symptoms of Celiac Disease (gluten intolerance). If you look into Celiac disease and find you have a lot of symptoms you should get tested by your doctor. Then if you are Celiac you must completely avoid gluten. You can also be gluten intolerant and not have CD, which could be causing the pot belly. A gluten free diet should get rid of it.
Is celiac disease inherited?

What is cause of marble like hard dark feces?
This is most likely the result of some sort of irritable bowel disorder. Is this accompanied with constipation, blood in stool, or pain? Your body may be unable to digest something you are eating so it becomes hardened as it passes through the GI tract. This is very common in people that become lactose intolerant or develop Celiac Disease.

What if you think you have celiac disease but tests come back negative?
If you've been having bad reactions to foods containing gluten, you may not have celiac disease, but rather, you could be gluten intolerant. The difference is that with celiac disease, you are so highly allergic to the gluten that it actually damages the tissue in the body, causing irreversible damage. With gluten intolerance, you are still "allergic" to gluten, but not to the degree of structural damage to the body. Instead you get side-effects such as bloating, pain, headaches, tiredness and fatigue, etc. My guess is that if you've had these (and probably other) side effects and you've had tests done to see if it is celiac disease, the fact that the tests have come back negative is a strong indication that you're most likely gluten-intolerant. I have just been diagnosed with being gluten-intolerant and my daughter too!) myself, and we have been able to avoid all the side-effects and have had a lot of relief by no longer including gluten-containing products in my diet.
