I recently started rotational diet, pancreatic enzymes, and vitamin B 12. Sorry all of you scientific people to start 3 things at once, but that is where I am at.

1 My tummy is noisy, noisy, noisy.
2 I am experiencing some pain in the lower abdomen.
3 My pants are getting too short. Okay, what I think I mean is that I am losing tummy and must pull the pants farther up to compensate for it. I don't think I have lost weight. The inches are only down to my lowest normal level.
4. . I had been tending toward diarreah since going gluten free. I was really constipated a couple of days.
5. My head seems clear day after day, except when I had a very constipated day once. Then after I got cleaned out, I feel really good for a while.
6. Sometimes, I feel very unusally well, extremely well, is more like it. Don't get me giddy!
7. Sometimes I think I am surely dying.
8. I felt ticklish for the first time in years.

I have double checked all of the new supplements for gluten and they all check out. I am wondering if I am now feeling pain, because I am not so numb as I was. I have been surprized on the forum when people talked about a painful expereience. I bloated 9 inches overnight once, but felt no pain whatsoever. That is one of the reasons that I went 30 years undiagnosed. I couldn't feel what was happening to me.

Various stages of inflammation can cause all of this.

The only thing I can suggest is don't change too much too quickly or you will never know which change is helping or conversely -- hurting.

I don't know what pancreas thing you are on. I tried one called Pancreatin. Someone told me they thought I should try it and stupidly I did, even though I didn't think that I had pancreas symptoms. That stuff made me sooo sick to my stomach! After taking it for a week, I had to stop. Then my stomach got a lot better.

I had a nutrient blood test and was found short of pancreatic enzymes, so that is why I decided to take them. I am almost certainly swollen, but have been arguing with my doctors about it. I say swollen, but they just say I am the shape I am! I didn't get a marker test for swelling. I keep wondering if I "should" look emaciated, but I am not. I haven't been absorbing well.

I have failed every blood test for inflammation my entire life - yet when I am in a state of healing I look 20 pounds lighter over night and my joint pain disappears - bloating returns and so does pain - i dont just mean abdominal bloat - i bloat everywhere yet docs always told me my weight is simply a matter of calories in - calories out. This is untrue in a body in constant AI crisis.

Supplements can be helpful, but too many can be harsh on an already inflammed digestive system.

Should add each of my four endos show severe inflammation - sed and crp do not show the entire picture of inflammation in your body.
