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.)

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?
