:( I am always sooo bloated. I have been on the gluten-free diet for 2 weeks now and I find I am still getting bloated. Not as badly as when I eat gluten but still very uncomfortable. Is this because I am still healing or could it be something else altogether. I only eat chicken and vegetables and I avoid nightshades and that is all I ate the past two weeks with the exceptin of a plain pork chop. HELP!!

Two weeks is just simply too soon. Give it more time before you despair! :)

My husband is still bloating & he is on his 4th week now. He did the diet for 7 weeks and his doctor put him back on a regular diet & now he is back on the gluten free diet for about 4 weeks. He did just recently find out he is casein intolerant & we've been trying to get that all eliminated - I think that was a lot of his problem after the gluten was gone.

I am three months into the diet and I am now just beginning to feel bloated. I am alternating between D and C. I think the high carbo diet, rice, potatoes etc. is leaving no room for fiber. Metimucil (sp) in caplets is gluten-free, so I have started on that.

I have also noticed that there is bright blood in my stools when constipated, the past two days. I think that my intestines are so used to fluid stools that it is hard to deal with the other - parden the pun. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I AM WRITING THIS TO EVERY ONE IN THE WORLD - 9,000 PEOPLE).

Ok....Too Much Information I think that I need to change my pen name. I'm embarassing myself. :unsure:

Oh well, may be input may help someone else.

Lisa, red blood is a condition that you need to let your doctor know about. I hope you feel better soon. Around here it is pretty NORMAL to talk about bowel habits, as odd as it would be anywhere else.

Lately, I have been bloating a lot. I have no idea what is causing it. The only time that I could have been glutened is what I have right before the bloating starts. But, food can't digest that quickly, can it?

The red blood that I mentioned is surely hermroid issues. I am not concerned about that. For months I have been dealing with the big D and now being gluten-free for almost four months my "discharge" has changed (I don't know how to put it although it is harden and not easily passed as not has been the facter for six months) and it is expected that the bowls have made a drastic change.

My colonoscopy showed no concern.

PLease note that there are two Lisa's on this post.

About the blouting. About four o'clock in the afternoon, I start feeling the blouting comming on. I then take a Zantac 75, or really feeling blouted at Zantac l50. I need to be home when I take them, at least for now. When I am constipated, it usually helps...I guess it moves the gas around and moves the other to proceed to where it needs to go.

Darn (not my choice of words), I hate to be to personally graphic.

I hope that this little bit is not TMI for your husband. I feel it is for me.

PS. I tried Medimucil (sp) and it was too much fiber for me with a compromised system as of now. Lots of bathroom trips and could not differentiate between gluttened and Metimucil.

Hope that this will be helpful.

i think the bloating does take a while to get rid of, also i just simultaneously cut down on dairy and started drinking and taking Lactaid. there is another thread on casein intolerance vs. lactose intolerance that might be interesting to you.

best of luck! i know how it feels to look pregant and it is not fun!

My bloating, which was really bad, only went away after 6 months of being gluten free. The culprit was rice and any other starchy food. Found out I have an intolerance to rice.

I will still get a bit bloated if I eat too much at one time or have too much chocolate. However the bloating is nowhere near as bad as it was. Only look 3 months pregnant instead of 6. :lol:

I would suggest avoiding starches and eating small meals for a few days and see if that helps.

Be patient - I know its hard - but things will get better. It just takes time.

I had a similar experience to Bonnie, except for the chocolate, (thank goodness!) I cut drastically down on my rice consumption and my bloat and my DH have gotten a lot of relief. I still have a sandwich or something once in a while but I was eating rice at almost every meal, something I had never done prediagnosis. You may want to try limiting rice and see if it helps. Also if you drink carbonated beverages (soda pop) you may want to go to non-carbonated that also may help.

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By Mmoc · Posted

      Hi there any advice welcomed. I have had 4 years of symptoms ranging from immune related anaphylactic symptom sudden onset food allergy to peppers/paprika/chilli/capsicum family derivatives. all these allergies fizzled out and following a food challenge test in hospital I reintroduced them a few months ago. Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.
