I just snarf the pepperoni or a bit of cheese. My wife is always cooking pizza for the kids (20,24,27). I had a pretty good run staying away from the gluten. I could drink an iced cafe latte at Starbucks without a problem. Sometime in the last month I must have consumed something tainted with wheat. I'm lactose intolerant again. Annoying. I don't know how long it will take to recover.
Three days to regrow the parts, but the lactose intolerance probably has something to do with prior injury in years past when you still ate bread in ignorance of what a poisonous substance it is.
I know this probably sounds silly, but how do you know if you are lactose intolerant? I was recently diagnosed with Celiac and I have been told it may be an issue (the lactose) but I can’t see any issues when I drink milk. Is it something you would know, or does it require testing?
Because with Celiac, while I couldn’t see my villi, I had over a dozen other obvious-to-me symptoms. For example, I noticed last night that my muscles no longer ache to the touch. Since I’ve been on the diet, so many symptoms have just disappeared, but this one must have been gradual. It dawned on me that “hey, that didn’t hurt a bit!” when the cat jumped on my back. Previously, it would have almost brought tears.
Also, if you’d like a gluten-free pizza dough recipe, I can send you one. As an occasional treat (because of the carbs), it is lovely. I made one last weekend and everyone enjoyed it.
What’s the connection between wheat and lactose intolerance? I’m lactose intolerant and my sensitivity to it varies widely. Is wheat a contributing factor?
