I just stopped eating gluten about 6 weeks ago and I'm still having some odd symptoms. One being that I have difficulty taking deep breaths although my oxygen level is fine. I believe this has to do with my system being backed up from the change in diet.  so this morning I decide to go on a liquid diet for a couple of days and made myself a juice smoothie with my boyfriend's ingredients in the house. I mixed two different kinds of juices, a little bit of gluten free Whey protein mix, and some blackberries.  it was a different kind of protein mix than he normally has so I carefully reviewed the package to find the words gluten free. It was quite good and I felt healthy. Until I started to feel slightly dizzy and weird.

Wouldn't you freaking know that good belly probiotic juice has barley malt in it? 

 The only reason I added it to the pomegranate juice was I was thinking "Oh good it's a probiotic, how helpful"!

Just a thought, but maybe the mixture was high in sugar. If you have a lot of sugar, no matter what the source of it was, it can make your blood glucose skyrocket. You said you only added a little whey protein mix, maybe by adding a bit more or just adding some yogurt to the mix, it would have slowed down how quickly your body processed the juice.  

If you can't/don't eat gluten for what ever reason, your body processes your foods at a different speed to those who can/do eat gluten.  Also, have you ever had a glucose tolerance test? (This is how they find out if you have diabetes).

Do we process slower than the gluten eaters?  Just wondering and learning from you all.

Yes. My glucose test was normal. I did however, 4 hours later, ask my boss about FMLA (as a joke) because I look pregnant. 

Any suggestions on how to get the bloat down? Or what to eat to make it not bloat more?

Yes!   When I was being diagnosed the traditional "clean out" time  for a colonoscopy prep did not work for me due to small intestinal damage.   I originally just went in for a routine colonoscopy and during the consult the GI suggested an endoscopy and celiac testing due to anemia.   Now, I will be required to do twice the clean out procedures!  I am dreading it. I will starve!  But that will not occur  for 7 more years.   Plus, my intestines should be healed ....but ya never know, so I will have to play it safe.  Look out jello and chicken broth!  By the way, my colon was just fine.

Was that certified gluten-free whey protein?  Did you contact the manufacturer and inquire about their manufacturing practices (e.g. Dedicated line?)  I am confused.  Did the label actually say gluten free and yet it barley in it?

No. The irony, and I laughed at myself, is that the whey protein mix was fine. I checked the packaging more then once. 

When I started to feel funny I then checked the probiotic juice (go figure, I put it in my smoothie for the gut healing effects) and THAT had barley malt in it. Juice out of all things...yummy stuff. Called Good Belly. But watch out!

I think it is more likely to be the opposite.  I have diabetes as well as coeliac disease and due to my diet I find that I get glucose lows quite a bit and need to test my glucose before driving, to make sure it doesn't go too low.  However, this might not be the same for everyone, but it is something to take into consideration,  for exampleI personally cannot tolerate dairy produce, and dairy can slow down the rate of absorption.

I'm confused. You had barley malt in your probiotic juice? You must not have barley malt on a gluten free diet, this would not make it a gluten free diet. Sorry if I've misunderstood you.

Yes, I know. I am new to this. It was my boyfriend's juice, not something I buy. 

In a million years I would not have expected the damn juice.

Ha!  I was thinking digestive time -- not blood sugar!

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
