Argh The Bloating!

Ok, sooo, I have been gluten-free (over 3 mo)and doing! My stomach was showing the six pack potential and I felt AMAZING! Then, we went on a cruise. Yes they catered to me at dinner with my celiac issues but I was stubborn and tried to do my best during the day. Needless to say I failed! I could not wear my rings or 2/3 of my clothes by the 4th day! So I got EXTRA careful and within 7 days of getting home I FINALLY stopped looking like I was about to birth an alien from my rib cage.

My issue now....my heartburn is in HIGH GEAR (not seeing why with what I am eating), and I am having periodic days of EXCEPTIONAL bloating. I have taken to unbuttoning my pants and taking off my belt!!!! My staff can visibly see this bloating at work! I had NONE of these issues the past 3 months!

Things I am wondering:

I have had corn, vanilla ice cream, cheese sticks and cottage cheese in the past week. I have eaten cheese daily since I have been gluten-free (not ice cream & corn, that is rare). Did I possibly kick my celiac into such high gear that I cannot tolerate ANY dairy right now?? I have not yet noticed dairy being an issue while being gluten-free. I know that you can have issues if you get into gluten and need time to heal, but I am shocked at my bodies reaction right now. My heartburn is horrible (pains all the way through my jaw) and I am on medication for it!

Common sense says GO OFF DAIRY for a bit (it is my vice, the one main thing I eat!), I just wanted to know if anyone had input? I just had two cheese sticks and I suddenly look 6 months pregnant! (Guess I just answered my own question huh). I guess my shock is, before the cruise, I ate cottage cheese and cheese sticks DAILY with NO reaction and a flat tummy! If I did just rock my system, any suggestions on how long to hold off on dairy??

I suppose I am just frustrated in general! I went to the specialist, and even with my blood work, symptoms and family history this Dr. wants to scope me, even though I am gluten-free (and had a scope 7 mo ago due to my acid reflux). I think I am going to cancel the scope! I know MY BODY! I have very little doubt Celiac is the culprit! WHY can the Dr's NOT EVER listen!!!?!? He actually used the term "I am not convinced" so HE wants a scope! ARGH!!!

Any help/input/ideas/support would be appreciated!!!! Oh and btw, all of your posts have helped me immensely throughout all of this! Thank you!

I look 6 mo pg. if I eat any dairy at all without Lactaid caplets. If I take those, no bloat, no gas etc. They are great! Try Lactaid Milk and Lactaid cottage cheese and take a lactaid caplet with anything else. Works like a charm!

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
