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.  :)

 

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.

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.)

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
