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?

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
