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.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hi Trent, no dairy. Other than good quality butter. I have been lactose free for years. No corn, sugar, even seasonings and spices. I don't eat out. I cook my own food.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, are you consuming dairy? Not sure if dairy is part of the carnivore diet.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply. I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal...

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      The sensitivity of people with coeliac disease varies greatly between individuals. The generally accepted as safe limit for most people is 10 milligrams per day. This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting...

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply.  I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal allergy inflammation be contributing to my celiac inflammation? I am so careful, there is no way I could ingest gluten. For example, couple of months ago I tried a cough drop that says it was gluten free. I checked ingredients, it seemed fine. But just taking one of those caused me to have nausea, vomiting, and the same extreme abdominal pain. Have you ever heard of anyone else having symptoms like mine after being diagnosed celiac and strictly gluten free? The last episode I had like this was yesterday, after I ate a certified gluten-free coconut macaroon with a little chocolate on it. I have eaten coconut and chocolate before with no issue,  so I didn't see how I could all of a sudden have such a strong response.

      The sensitivity of people with coeliac disease varies greatly between individuals. The generally accepted as safe limit for most people is 10 milligrams per day. This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting. I don't think that touching or throwing bread around would lead to you ingesting enough to cause a reaction. There are case reports of farmers with coeliac disease reacting to the dust from gluten-containing animal feed but they were inhaling large amounts of dust over a long period of time in barns. Perhaps you episodes are caused by a reaction to something other than gluten? Have you had your antibody levels checked to see whether you are still being exposed to gluten?
