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.

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Sams club membermark columbian coffee is either cross contaminated or the pods contain gluten

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
