Other foods that commonly digestive upset with celiacs?

Wondering if anyone would care to share if they had any other foods that cause problems, especially when recovering after diagnosis?  I'm not diagnosed, but went gluten-free this last week and felt a ton better from the issues I've been having.  But noticed there are still a few things that don't sit well with me.  Obviously dairy, but also cola, chocolate and other sweets, maybe coffee?  And something I ate today gave me a sore tummy, followed by bloating and gas - I had some Trader Joe's gluten-free bread, vegan split pea soup, a gluten-free rice krispy treat type bar, gluten-free ginger snaps, and yes, some chocolate.  I know that sounds like an unhealthy day's worth of food, but I've been losing so much weight I don't worry about that much.  But I've heard some people don't do well with sweets, and others with products with soy in them, especially when they're just recovering.  Any truth to those?

I have a problem with oats, even gluten free steel cut oats cause stomach cramping.

Saucy foods. Usually, a bad idea.

I went gluten free in may after my diagnosis, and in September still was still feeling awful-- feeling glutened most of the time. I gave up corn after connecting the dots to what i was eating/when symptoms started and i've now had more good feeling days than bad (though sometimes corn can hide well). Apparently corn has its own form of gluten that's  similar enough on a molecular level to wheat gluten to trigger the gluten response in some celiacs.

caffeine relaxes the cardiac sphincter at the top of the stomach... perhaps the chocolate is your issue?

At this point I wouldn't be worrying about other food intolerances  (except dairy). You are most likely going through gluten withdrawal which can make you feel lousy. And on top of that, at one week in just about ANY food can make you feel sick. You might eat the exact same diet three days in a row with two days feeling fine and the other feeling sick.

For right now you should stick to plain whole foods. (Meat, cooked veggies, and fruit.) Try to stay away from spicy foods, rich sauces, sweets, and gluten-free substitutes. It took a long time to get sick and it'll take a long time to heal. Be gentle with yourself and your gut. After a few months, THEN you can start wondering about additional intolerances.

I've found that my higher sugar days tend to be a little bit more 'triggering' than lower sugar days. I'm not sure exactly if that pertains to this, but chocolate, coffee, caffeine, dairy (of course), or higher protein without having enough veggies to go with it. I've been hardcore gluten-free for about 2 months now and really focus on reducing hard-to-digest items (like too many starches). I keep it 75% veggies to 20% meat to 5% 'other' items right now.

What's your water intake like lately too?

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?

      @JettaGirl, "Coeliac" is the British spelling of "celiac". Same disease. 
    • JettaGirl
      This may sound ridiculous but is this supposed to say Celiacs? I looked up Coeliacs because you never know, there’s a lot of diseases related to a disease that they come up with similar names for. It’s probably meant to say Celiacs but I just wanted to confirm.
