Tummy Troubles


Renaye

Recommended Posts

I have been gluten free for several years and have also taken other things out of my diet. No diagnosis but have improved with taking out eggs, dairy and peanuts along with gluten. Last year I had pancreatitis and the doctor took out my gallbladder although there was no definite cause. This week I have been feeling bad, my stomach is bloated, constipated - even with miralax and I am not sure what is going on. Which makes me stressed, which doesn't help. Gastro is new and doesn't ask much about possible celiac diagnosis but is sending me for physical therapy for my constipation. Nothing has been done with the exception of tracking bm and food/water daily intake. I am missing something. What symptoms does not having a gallbladder cause? Stomach pain/upset stomach? I know it can cause loose stools which I don't have. Tomorrow we have a family get together and I don't feel like eating anything. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Don't know if it is the case for you but soy gives me the symptoms you mention. If you consume products with soy then maybe try dropping it for a bit and seeing if that helps. 

Hope you find the cause for your issues and they resolve soon.

Here is an article that states that some patients without a gallbladder can have constipation. It is not the norm, but possible. Seems like you would have had issues prior to this week though.

You can still develop gallstones, bile duct issues, etc even after gallbladder surgery. My Aunt needed a stent to keep her bile duct open. Yep, gallbladders are a family curse for us!

I had blood work for food allergies several years ago and I took out the foods that were moderate reaction to both delayed and immediate reactions.   Almond, soy and several others were mild responses.  It may be worth taking them out.  I watch my soy carefully and the only things I eat that contain soy are my mayo and occasional bread/cracker products by Scharr.  I find it difficult to buy mayo that is gluten, dairy, egg and soy free.  Yes, I ate mayo this week. 

 

I am long time sufferer of constipation.  I developed it about 2 years after my last child (11 years ago).  So I know it is not my gallbladder issues that is causing my constipation problems. Nothing seems to help except miralax and I pray that it keeps on working. That is why my gastro is sending me for therapy for pelvic floor dysfunction, although the results from the test were unequivocal. I am having a difficult time grasping that my muscles are causing the problems but would be pleased if it worked.

I just bought a cookbook that has a rice milk mayonnaise recipe in it. It's actually this recipe: Open Original Shared Link

 

I haven't had a chance to try to make it yet, but it does happen to be gluten, dairy, egg, and soy free. I thought you might want to give it a try.

 

I hope the therapy works. Good luck!

Thanks for the recipe!!  I went to a health food store the other day and found soy free mayo but it was $7 for a tiny jar.  So my next step was looking up a recipe on line.  I think this one looks simple enough and I think I got all of the ingredients except white pepper!    :)

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      These are labeled gluten-free: https://www.amazon.com/Corn-Husks-Tamales-Authentic-Flavorful/dp/B01MDSHUTM/

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.
