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.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
