Gluten and Dairy Issues and DS
I'm not sure I understand your question. Gluten is not dairy. Gluten is found in wheat/flour products.
I just don't eat it. I read labels and if it has gluten in it I don't eat it. I've been sensitive to it from day one. I don't eat lactose but I can eat cheese, sour cream, heavy cream etc... Just not milk.
I'm sure there are tons of gluten free websites. Restaurants have gluten free items and there are lots of gluten free products in stores.
I do whey protein shakes and I eat mainly protein so I don't have a problem getting 200 grams of protein a day.
Going gluten-free keeps the carbs away so I don't mind it at all.

If you have issues with gluten, and dairy, you have more than one intolerance. Gluten is derived from wheat. Lactose (SUGAR!) is found in dairy. If it's just a gluten issue, you will have no problem getting in your protein. Even if it also encompases a lactose issue, many people can still eat dairy with a lactose intolerance- just stick to the more unprocessed and UNSWEETENED dairy products, like, heavy cream in place of milk, plain greek yogurt in place of the sweetened stuff, hard cheeses instead of the more creamy ones, ect. And, there are a HOST of lactose free options on the market as well- check out Lactaid brand for milk, cheese, yogurt, sour cream, cottage cheese, ect. In any case, just know that gluten and lactose are not interchangable and not the same thing...
Been doin' it for years. still tolerate little dairy...I use one half gallon lactose free milk in 2 weeks. There is a soy cheese., usually kept close to the tofu... and tofu is good for protein as well.but it seems to upset my polycystic ovarian disease., so I have to limit my soy... and Bordens did have a lactose free cheese, in American, but my wally world has stopped stocking it.
I use soy protein...no whey. and only one protein shake a day. Gnc has one called protein 95, last time I looked...about 1.25 per serving.. There is also one from egg white, I haven't tried it, but I can eat the eggs, so I just poach my eggs.

Oh yes, I did have a different wls, but I have had those same symptoms...
I was one of the ones that couldn't tolerate any dairy, no milk no cheese no cottage cheese, yugart, sour cream... except completely lactose free... and there are some who are truly allergic to milk...they really have it rough.
Watch for hidden milk in your items, it's in lots of foods,some you might not think of, and it is listed under different names... that are boxed...they add it to instant potatoes and some of the milk extracts to all kinds of seasonings.
You will just have to try to cut all your dairy and add it back very slowly no more than one serving a day for at least 4 days... then add another serving...over another 4 days... to find your l tolerance limit.
If it is lactose intolerance and not allergy, some of the vitamin supply places, either Swanson's or puritans pride has LACTASE suppliments...to break down the lactose// at a reasonable price. You can also pick up the 24 hour ones,at wal mart... but I haven't tried those.
