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 struggled for a long time.   My TTG levels took an age to come down.  I even gave pure gluten free oats a miss, it took 8 years before I could tolerate them.  Removing dairy temporarily from my diet was hugely helpful.  Check your utensils and the oven you use are scrupulously clean, and don't open roast or bake food uncovered in an oven shared with gluten eaters.  Shared grills must be thoroughly cleaned down, too. Our oven packed up a couple of years after I was diagnosed and after that time the top oven became my family's oven, I use the lower oven.  Also our dishwasher - the old one left a residue, and sharing with gluten eaters I think this was an important factor in my slow recovery.  When the dishwasher packed up I started hand washing the plates and making sure they were really rinsed well.  When we got a new one we bought a Miele does the initial rinse with clean water, not yesterday's old water.   I stopped eating out for a while - that's a biggie.  In recent years, in the UK, thanks to Zoe's Law, caterers are having to really tighten up on catering for people with coeliac disease and allergies so I am now finding eating out much less risky.  But I'd advise being very careful with restaurants where flour is thrown about and is airborne (such as pizzerias) or where harried chefs might cook pasta in glutenous water by mistake, as those are the places I've been glutened in the most.

      also my hands are always cold, freezing cold in the winter and even cold during hot summer days. its like i have a shield. i feel warm but its not penetrating inside, my teeth chatter as well and my left index finger goes dead white when im super hungry. all dr tests come back fine. im so hopeless.

      thank you, ive asked my dr to test for vitamin deficiency and shes only said vitamin d (very low 26) and b12, she says all other vitamins are not included in her blood tests only the major ones, C, D, E, B12 etc. Ive been following the aip diet now and im going to stay on it very strict to see how it goes. im eating tons of food, romaine salads, mango, peaches, pears, cucumber, celery, zuccnini, sweet potator, plantains, ground turkey and beef and chicken.  i eat about 4 plate filling meals a day with two to three good size snacks a day including about 3 or 4 bananas. im still not absorbing nutrients, if i eat any sort of food with fat, I.e ground beef or fatty pork the taste of fat lingers in my mouth for 2-3 hours sometimes longer, if i bask in sun for vitamin d i feel great but then lethargic and feel strange for a day or two later, like im still absorbing it all in. even regular sweet foods like fruit the sweetness stays in mouth for hours. ive had blood work done for gall bladder, thryroid, pancreas, liver, kindey dr says they are all fine. i dont know what other tests i can do?   ive attached two pictures of the rash that broke out on my legs, feet and small one near wrist bone bright red was before treatment, second scabby one is during treatment and healing.  https://freeimage.host/i/FrI3KZb https://freeimage.host/i/FrI3Fwu

      The Trader Joe's GF hamburger buns are the best!

      Just ate some for lunch!  A really superb alternative to gluten-free bread and burger buns that all have the taste and consistency of compacted sawdust.  I bought two packs and now I'm down to one remaining muffin so need to get some more; the only thing is it's their own brand - they don't do mail or on line ordering and the nearest TJ's is in Charlottesville (a real nightmare to drive around) an hour away from me over the mountain.  😒
