Does Anyone Else Get The Worst Gas

danikali Enthusiast

Okay, every single day, after I eat cookies, a granola bar, pasta, pizza, (I'm on the gluten challenge), I get the WORST GAS EVER! And it lingers! :lol:

I'm at work and I have to keep running to the bathroom just to let it out in a stall!

Does anyone else get this RIGHT AFTER eating gluten? :unsure:

This is horrible! My fiance could barley walk into the bedroom a couple of nights ago! :blink:

If this isn't a sign of SOMETHING, I don't know what to say anymore!

Yep, you are certainly not alone in that symptom!

gf4life Enthusiast

Yep, me too. And my middle boy. I also get gas a lot if my intestinal bacteria are "off", so I take probiotics and use digestive enzymes too.

Yea--I was still having it, although not as bad, even after being gluten-free for several months. I went casein free 3 weeks or so ago and it seems to be improving. I went gluten-free and dairy free at the same time, but did continue to eat butter. When I gave up the butter is when I noticed the difference.

Ha!!

Celiacs get gas if "the wind changes".......

Symtoms get better as the gluten-free diet goes on, but I can still "light it up" almost upon request...

For some of us, it is as normal as breathing...

My husband gets the gas build up but he is constantly belching. Do any of you belch a lot from the gas? I guess I shouldn't complain because at least I can walk into the bedroom when he's belching. :lol:

Yes, I do. My coworkers even said it's been quieter around here since I went gluten-free.

My main symptom is gas. I don't get belly aches or cramping - just severe gas that entails both burping and farting. I also get severe bloating - to the point of where I go up a pant size.

Fun stuff!

Peace

LOL. Yup.

I was blowing on my boyfriends stomach to make fart noises ( I was torturing him for information) and he piped up with "Boy I miss that sound from when we were first dating".

I was a little gas machine. Belches, farts, you name it.

Mostly gone now. I have a "normal" amount of gas these days.

Lucky you! I don't have to eat gluten for gas!!! Good thing I'm in my own office in the back of the building (but it is right next to the kitchen...)

bluelotus Contributor

I forgot to mention the belching....a completely new symptom that I developed in the last few months. I was being glutened in small amounts by various things (unknowingly), and during that time I started burping......hasn't gone away yet, but its only been 2 weeks (at most) since being glutened.

PreOptMegs Explorer

I was always so embarrassed when i would get the worst gas, but I didn't know what it was from or what gluten even was, so I lived with it for a long time. I am so glad that is over.

danikali Enthusiast

Yes! I belch a lot too! And I was so used to it and thought nothing about it, and one day my friend was like, "At least say excuse me!" She was half joking but half not-I think........ :huh: .....but I was just acustomed to burping, especially in the mornings for some reason, I forgot it was kind of rude! :lol:

Guest gfinnebraska

LOL ~ the things we talk about on here!! :huh: I get horrible gas from gluten. Not just loud and often, but the smell would kill most small animals. Have two older sons (19 & 20) and a husband... you can imagine the fun I have! I threaten to eat gluten just to blow them out of the room if they don't behave!!! Hahahaha! No, I have never carried through with my threat, but they don't take any chances!

I go for long walks - alone! - and that helps with the gas if I have any. IF I keep gluten free, then I don't have any gas at all. :)

Canadian Karen Community Regular

Yep! I can join this club too! :P

For me, there is so much gas to go around that it comes out both ways constantly. When I burp, it is not only one burp, but about 10 burps one after the other, with every breath. When it is the other, well, let's just say that someone would rather run over a skunk than be next to me....... :P

Every once in awhile, I get gas so bad and it kinda gets "trapped" in my body. It becomes extremely painful. It actually feels like there are gas bubbles that are rising up and up until there is nowhere else to go. My jaw hurts, my neck and even my ears....... Have you ever had any surgery where they have to blow up your abdomen with air and afterward you have that gas that rests underneath your shoulders and feels like a knife? Well, that's the best way I can describe how it feels....... It's scary when it happens, actually....... :unsure:

WOw! I do know exactly what you mean when it get's stuck and it builds up in your whole body! That is a horrible feeling! It usually stays in my stomach and back though.......well, I guess my upper back get's some of it, like right below my backbones. I really hate that.

I'm also a student still and when I'm in class, I can't really let it out. SO I hold it in, when I can't run to the bathroom, and that is when I get the WORST abdominal pains ever. It's my classic "IBS" (or what I thought was IBS before all of this) symptom. It's like, my stomach gets soooooooo big I look like I am pregnant; it gets really really hard! It's like, there is a short string attached from my lower lower stomach to about an inch below my belly button, and when I stand up, and straighten up, the string is too short! So it pulls and causes HORRIBLE pain! It's really hard to walk when that happens, sometimes, I can't, I have to crunch down and get in the fetal position. I used to notice this in high school when I first started drinking beer. I would have like 4 sips and all of sudden, this would happen (except I can't get the gas out then). Well, I stopped drinking beer when going out not long after I discovered this. :blink:

My husband had the worlds worst gas right before he was diagnosed. I specifically remember our wedding day. Ha! He had it forever. It is not funny but you really do have to laugh. I spent a many a night fanning the bedroom door back & forth to keep from suffocating from his gas. Ha!

I can so relate to this. At work in our small cubicals it was like quick get that person off the phone and run to the bathroom. I was jet propelled and boy is it different after being gluten free for almost two weeks. I hate that I have to go back to gluten next week for a week. Good thing I work on the days when hardly anyone is in next week.

I have no problems staying gluten free but I will have problems going back.

Major gas and bloating. Even the dog would have to leave the room.

Why are you going back on gluten for a week? Is it to see how you feel, or is it for testing? because if it's for testing, yuo should know by now that a week isn't going to be enough?

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

      Hello, just popped in my head to ask this question about medications and celiac? I have always had refurse reaction to meds since I can remember  of what little meds my body is able to tolerate. I was taking gabapentin 300mg for a week,  in past I believe 150? Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.
    • Jmartes71
      I also noticed I get debilitating migraines when I smell gluten, wheat and its not taken seriously when it affects one in every way.Im still begging to properly be heard.I also noticed tolerance level is down the drain with age and life changes. I have been told by incompetent medical that im not celiac or that sensitive. Diagnosed in 1994 by gi biopsy gluten-free ever since along with other lovely food allergies. Prayers
