People with gluten intolerance say they've been "glutened" whenever they get sickened from accidentally ingesting gluten. I ingested casein last night so I'm going to say I was caseined.
I'm sure everybody with an allergy to casein has different symptoms, but here are mine. Experienced last night, after having some purportedly "vegan" chips that had "natural flavorings" in the ingredient list. You see, casein can hide in that vague phrase. Casein is a dairy protein so their idea of vegan must vary from mine. I emailed the manufacturer to get more details.
Gut cramps, sudden. Headache, clammy, felt too hot, woozy. All my joints burned. Didn't know if I was going to throw up or faint. Did neither. Felt like I was going to have diarrhea but it took awhile then I had loose stool, very smelly. Lots of gas even hours later
Sorry this is gross, but being ladylike gets us nowhere medically!
I was so suddenly sick and scared that I texted my daughter's to check on me in 15 minutes (in case I passed out.)
I will be more careful in the future. A good motto is "When in doubt, do without!"
