Help Needed - Bloated For 16 Days And Counting!

Hi, hoping for some help in dealing with my bloating.

 

I have been gluten free for 13 months. I was very ill when first starting the diet and quickly decided to change all my cooking equipment and to make my home a gluten free haven. I do not eat out or order takeaways and always take my own food to family get togethers. I even take my own cup to my friends houses for coffee haha! I mainly eat wholefoods and not the gluten free processed options as I found I sometimes even reacted to them!

 

I feel that because I am so careful that this has really helped speed my recovery and each month I have become stronger and stronger.

 

Then 16 days ago I ate some red lentils which I had a reaction too. Figured it was probably factory contamination and so readied myself for the next 5 days of discomfort. 5 days is usually my recovery time for a cross contamination.

 

But here I am 16 days on still bloated. Everytime I eat something, even my trusty bananas, I am ballooning up! I don't have the big D but I am starting to feel exhausted again.

 

Has anyone else experienced this length of time being bloated? Or offer me any advice at all. I have no idea what to do or think now.

 

I have gone through everything in my kitchen and cant find anything that could be getting me. I have reverted to my safe foods (chicken, veg, potatoes and bananas) and only drinking water but I am still bloating.

 

I did an elimination diet about 10 months ago and lactose and soya also cause me problems and so I do not eat these either. Could I have developed a new food intolerance after 13months!!!?

 

I am aware that candida can cause bloating but haven't had any problems upto now and have been feeling so well that I haven't really felt that I had a problem with it.

 

Any advice would be welcome.

 

Lisa

I would not think "candida" just because of bloating, especially if you do not have a visible yeast infection.

 

Do you take probiotics? Could help with the bloating and the abdominal distress....just a thought!

 

I hope you feel better soon!  (I tend to bloat from eating too many high histamine foods, but that is just my "lucky" list of food intolerances)

The red lentils which I have had a few grains of barley mixed in. Do you know what barley looks like?  Barley looks like small yellowish balls with a grove from end to end.  There is always a chance that yours may have wheat or other gluten grain mixed in.  When this happened to me, I picked through the lentils, and washed them with a scrub brush.  Even though  I washed it with soap and water,  I was leary to eat it.  I fed it to my family.  I ordered green ones and didn't find any grains in them.  I got both from Azure standard and they bore their label.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
