Coeliac disease and lactose intolerant with severe bloating


Donna 21

Recommended Posts

Donna 21 Newbie

Hi i am new to here. I have been diagnosed with coeliac disease for about 7 months and all was going well with my diet, 1 month ago i found out i have lactose intolerance too, so again changed my diet. 

I now follow a gluten and lactose free diet strictly, i also decided to follow a vegetarian diet very strictly. 

Your probably wondering what my issue is? Well now i will tell you, the reason for the vegetarian diet also is because i am suffering with severe abdominal bloating, i feel as if i am eating gluten all over again. I eat plant based foods limit my sugar in take as i don't have much choice because of the lactose in so many products so i only eat now and again wheat free, dairy free and gluten free deserts. Please someone help me with my issue or tell me if they are the same. It makes the top of my stomach look bloated, around the intestinal region.

It could just be gas and bloating, high fiber diets, diets high in carbs/starches/legumes, can cause bloating. SIBO or Candida can set in on damaged intestines and feed on sugar/carbs and cause bloating distention.
The Vegetarian diet might be backfiring there, have you tried a low carb diet of primarily meats, eggs, and some leafy greens?  The lower fiber carb diet will leave little to be fermented into gas or block the intestines. I have done a keto/vegetarian diet and there was more bloating gas. I have gone more carnivore and there is much less bloating. Also if you have SIBO or Candida you have to starve them

My top suggestion for tracking down the culprit, is a food dairy and a elimination diet. It could also be a new food intolerance or sensitivity. I have a whole list of ones that cause issues.

Hello. Thank you for answering my question. I will definitely look in to this, i did have a feeling it could be excess gases, i am on lansoprazole for reflux so maybe they aren't enough on there own.

Hi, i heard about shampoos etc but didn't think much about it but will definitely look in to it, thanks. 

My bloating has subsided slightly snd this is since i change my vitamins from Holland and barrett to some online which are free from everything, nothing added to them and are still high in strength. Maybe you should look into that too.

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it. 
    • Zuma888
      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
