Can't get rid of this bloat

[Johnny Guapo]

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.
