Can't Eat Lunch

hi i have posted before but it was a while ago.  posted regarding pretty much the same symptoms i am having now but it was worse back then.  been gluten-free for about 11 years.  was diagnosed a few years back with MC.  was put on meds for that but nothing seemed to work.  then somehow things got a better but now they are not as good.  they are still better then they were a few years ago (i was going to the bathroom 5-6 times a day) had a burning type sensation in my belly, gurgling usually on the left side.  all of my bathroom problems were primarily around lunch time.  well, now i am back to that.....have this pain in gut or sudden urge to go usually around 11:30-1:30.  sometimes it's ok (not 100% normal but not horrible either) but sometimes it is loose.  sorry if too much info.  i have also noticed the past few days (altough not today) that after eating lunch and/or dinner i would feel very bloated, not in my stomach but low.  i just really need to vent.  i have no idea what causes this and why usually at lunch time?  it's very frustrated and i don't know what else to do.  i have been trying to stay away from dairy, do eat a little but other than that i am at a loss.

What do you normally eat for breakfast?

 

Is coffee an issue for you?

I am brand new to this board, but I saw your post and had to respond. I have been gluten-free since December 2012, and it has worked wonders for my stomach troubles. I have found, however, that I am still not able to eat solid food for lunch. I have had this problem since I had my gallbladder removed in April 2010. What I do for lunch is I drink a Boost Calorie Smart drink. It is gluten free, it tastes good, it sits well, and I don't end losing as many calories.

It is something to try at least!

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
