Bloated...uncomfortably ;(

Hello all -

After two months of being gluten-free - I wanted to test the notion that i truly do have a gluten intolerance. I know it is a dumb idea, but I still was not completely convinced that I should follow a gluten-free diet or that it was the gluten and not say - dairy.

Yesterday I had Burger King chicken fries for lunch, then at dinnertime with my normal gluten free meal I had a triscuit cracker.

I was fine after the Chicken fries at lunch time (theese contain gluten but no lactose - that is why I chose that option), but started to become severly bloated after the triscuit cracker.

My questions:

Is it possible teh reaction is from the combo of chicken fingers and triscuit - just took longer for itto hit my digestive system, or was it just the triscuit I reacted to?

What can you do for the extreme bloating? I am a 100 lb woman - but look like I am pregnant now. This has been since last night about an hour after the triscuit ( Iknow it's probably the chicken fries also....just happpened to start after the triscuit). It's hard to walk around looking so ridiculously swollen ;( It's more of a mental obstacle than anything - but it's very frustrating to have to deal with the bloating when I have no choice butto be out and around people.

What do you all do if you ingest gluten and get the severe bloating??

I'm so sorry you're feeling so awful!

I get that way from soy, so I'm 101% soy free now too. Someone here suggested to me to mix about 1 or 2 teaspoons of baking soda in a glass of water and drink it down. It definitely helps. It's not great tasting, but cold water and drinking it fast in 1 or 2 turns helps. Then wash it down with some fresh water. Sometimes I'd repeat it a few hours later.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

Hmmm...

Never thought about the Soy possibility. I tried a lactose free butter that was made with Soy instead of milk ingredients last night for my potatoes - first time using it. I wonder if THAT was the issue. Hmmmm. Now I am wondering.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Beverage · Posted

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!
