Can't get rid of this bloat

I was diagnosed about 5 years ago and have been gluten free since.  No matter what I do or try, I can't get rid of this bloating.  Has anyone been successful in getting rid of this?

Have you had repeat testing (celiac blood panel or repeat endoscopy)?  This will help determine if you are diet compliant or if celiac disease could be  the cause of your bloating.  It could very well be a new illness.

Sadly with celiac we are more prone to issues like SIBO and Cadidia which can make bloating worse, other food intolerance, and sensitivities are also issues. Start keeping a food dairy and rotating your foods.

I found I had another issues and went keto/atkins. there is a transition phase, but without carbs and sugars to ferment there is hardly any gas. NOTE if you do have SIBO or Candida it will get worse as they die off, but will get much better. just think of every day as savory meals and load up on fats and greens, and protein avoiding the carbs/sugars.

Johnny,

Do you have constipation???? tooo???

Many times low stomach acid will cause bloating especially when we eat a lot carbs.

Or do you take a Proton Pump inhibitor this can can cause slow opening of our LES giving more times for carbs to ferment.

See this thread I believe it will answer many of your questions.

If you can answer the constipation question I will know better able how to answer your question.

We cant' diagnose or treat anyone but we can share what help(s)ed us.

I will be able to provide a longer answer in the next few days depending on whether you are also constipated (take stool softners' etc.) and I know if any PPIs you might be taking are causing slow/poor LES function.  It (the LES) typically only opens at a pH of 4.0 or less and a pH of 4.0 or more can can lead to excess bloating because carbs ferment readily at a pH higher than that.  The same way food left out for more than 2 hours tends to go bad.

I know I had too low stomach acid for many years. . . .and I was both constipated with extreme bloating with some intermittent diarrhea thrown in between being constipated.

I had low stomach acid being misdiagnosed for many years.

I hope this is helpful but this is not medical advice.

Good luck on your continued journey.

I have had a couple of blood tests and all are ok.

I'm not constipated and I've started drinking organic vinegar in the mornings.  I"m pretty careful with my food.  Lots of fruits and veggies, no beef or pork, either chicken or turkey and sometimes fish.

I had issues last year.  My antibodies were elevated.  I was not getting well even after trialing the Fasano diet.  A repeat endoscopy revealed a healed small intestine, but chronic autoimmune gastritis.  That was the source of my issues.  

Not everything is related to celiac disease.

Johnny,

Stop the apple cider vinegar! and try taking some (3 or 4) BetaineHCL capsules with a meal.

If you have not read this thread go back and read the links.  Brandi was also  having this problem extreme bloating and taking BetaineHCL helped her.

Here is why the apple cider vinegar is making it worse.

It delays stomach emptying causing any CARBS you eat longer to ferment.

There is more I could say about this topic but this will get you headed in the right direction.

This is not medical advice but I hope it is helpful.

Good luck on your continued journey.

As always, 2 Timothy 2:7  “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things” this included.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
