I am so new to all this. I only a week ago was diagnosed celiac. I ate some glutenfree noodles today almost immediately had stomach cramps. I now have heart burn and belly bloated, so discouraging I was so happy for the first time in my life I had a semiflat belly. :( I haven't eating many grains, ate quinia the other day and had mild tummy pain. I feel like such a wussy!

Welcome to the forum!
 

I made your reply into a new post, so you can get more personalized conversation.  What brand of noodles did you eat?  It can take a long time for things to calm down after going gluten-free, so just stick to it and things should continue to improve overall.  Feel free to post any questions you need help with!

Welcome to the board.  :)

It can take weeks or months for symptoms to really calm down even if you are eating safely gluten-free. Your belly will get flat again and start staying flat for longer periods of time.  Celiac recovery is often two steps forward and one step back - Just hang in there.

What else did you eat with the noodles?  Gluten is "hidden" in a lot of other products you would not expect.  What have you done to get gluten out of your diet?  It takes a while to see any real improvement with your system too.

Did you use the same old colander to drain them?  Its very hard to get every little hole clean from sticky noodle residue.  And what else did you eat with them?  What did you eat before them?  

 

It takes much longer than a week to heal.  It could just be a messed up GI system.

Welcome to the forum! :)  If you ate the noodles with soy sauce that was a likely problem.  Most soy sauce has gluten in  it.  But it really does take some time for things to settle down in our GI tracts after going gluten-free.  You may find you react to many foods for a while that may or may not have gluten in them.  It's a good idea to keep your diet very simple for a while to lessen the chance of glutenings.  Then slowly branch out and add more foods one at a time.

Yes, I'm guessing that you are still getting gluten from cross-contamination (cooking pot, colander, utensils, etc.)

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
