I have been on the gluten-free diet now for about 2 months. For the past two weeks, whenever I eat I get SEVERE pains in my stomach/small intestine followed by nausea. It is awful and makes me NOT want to eat. I know that I have been losing weight as well and this has been of concern to me. I have a m.d. appointment tomorrow. I wanted to know if anyone had this symptom - severe stomach pain - after starting the gluten-free diet?

My husband has Celiac and he has been on the gluten-free diet for about 2 1/2 months now and he also gets nausea and upset stomach after eating. We are very careful and have a gluten-free house so I'm assuming its all part of the Celiac. His isn't exactly severe pain its more of a rumbling stomach ache but if he does get an accidental glutening somewhere he has had stomach pains. He used to have severe nausea but now it comes and goes. Sometimes he goes a few days at a time without having it. Good luck at your appointment tomorrow.

I sometimes get awful stomach pains. My stomach was very inflamed just before I figured out what the problem was. I found that taking sepia (a homeopathic remedy found in the health food store) helped with the stomach ache (its supposed to help with inflammation anywhere). I take six of the little pills under my tongue (30C strength), and sometimes repeat that after a few hours, and it usually takes care of the stomach ache within a few minutes.

What I also found is that when my intestines started healing, that I have a lot of other intolerances, which were causing stomach upsets. When my intestines weren't really absorbing things, it also wasn't absorbing the things that were making me sick after the gluten wasn't a problem any more.

You might need to look at testing (or experimenting) for other intolerances/allergies. Almost all people with Celiac disease have other allergies as well.

After a month or two of being gluten-free, I began to experience horrible abdominal pain after eating. I had never really experienced this before going gluten-free, so it was a bit of a mystery. I explored several possibilities with my doctors--like gallbladder disease or stones and spincter of Oddi dysfunction. After several more months the pain went away. Not really sure what it was--could have been spincter of Oddi or inflammation that gradually healed. At the time I also kept a food journal to see if the pain was tied to certain foods--you may want to examine this as well. I also get unexplained pain cked out my a doctor if it lingers.

I encourage you to document what you're eating when the pains arise. Perhaps it is a complication with having been glutened previously or it's something that you're eating now. I definitely would experience abdominal pains while I was glutening and not glutening myself for the past four year. So, I can relate to the symptoms. I hope that these symptoms clear up soon. Hold your head up. :)

I was just about to post on the same subject when i saw yours. I too have been gluten-free for just over a month now, and my stomach was ok in the first month, but all of a sudden last night after dinner i have severe stomach cramps for about 10 mins, then it just kind of went away?? For the rest of the night i really didnt feel back to normal, stomach was still crampy but not as bad. Im not really nauseas, but i dont have much of an appeitite. Is this all part of the healing process?

Moongirl--the pain you described is a lot like what I had in the first few months, especially. I would feel it while eating a meal as well as after. I thought it was just that my intestinal tract was healing after years of damage, and it made sense to me that this would happen. It became less frequent as time went on, and I rarely get it anymore.

Thanks for the info, i figured as much that it was related to that...did you take/do anything to ease the pain? i was burping a lot afterwards too, lol. might have been a lot of gas floating around down there...

No, I never took anything for it. I still get the upper ab. gas--it seems to be trapped there. I never belched/burped before I went gluten-free. I find it interesting that I do all the time now.

jerseyangel, I do all of the time also. More so then my husband. ;) And sometimes, it really comes out of nowhere and surprises me. My reaction really makes my husband laugh - he always says, "you really can't act surprised anymore." LOL

Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces! Considering...

      Cricket Flour Makes Really Good Gluten-Free Bread

      Your concern about certified gluten-free cricket powder is completely valid, as cross-contamination in both feedstock and processing is a real issue. Currently, the availability of certified gluten-free options is limited, but brands like Chapul and Entomo Farms, which I believe have offered products processed in dedicated facilities and labeled gluten-free...

Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
