Can anyone help with whether or not you should be drinking milk and
eating butter when you are newly diagnosed CD (1 month old, goody now I
can lie about my age!). I find that if I drink milk I sometimes wake up
with lower abdominal cramps early morning, similar but much more mild to
what I had when I
was eating gluten. I am sure that my diet is GF and I am assuming that
milk although malabsorbed is not causing villi damage. Question: if I am
getting the cramping should I assume the calcium is not being absorbed
and just switch to calcium tabs? This sounds so obvious but my gastro
said to experiment and I have heard that new celiacs sometimes have to
cut milk and butter out at least temporarily if not permanently. He
seemed to think I should just plow on using milk and see what happens.
Thanks,
