Suggestions to relieve ongoing bloating?

I was diagnosed celiac back in 2015 and have been on a gluten-free diet since. I never had major GI symptoms and I wouldn’t say I’m very in tune with my body so I wouldn’t notice if I felt worse after having a meal with gluten but overall I did feel better after going gluten-free. 
 

Now a couple years on, I’m not feeling great. The biggest symptom for me with gluten was anxiety so I found that got worse again and with it comes loose stool but not quite diarrhea. From about August-December I would have this at least 3 times per week and relied heavily on Imodium. Now I find I have almost the opposite problem. I’m not quite constipated but I’m not as regular as I had been and I feel bloated and swollen all the time. I don’t have pain or gas or anything like that I just don’t like the way I look or feel. I’ve researched IBS but I’m not sure if that’s more extreme than what I have as I never have full blown diarrhea or constipation I just lean in different directions.

Did anyone here have a similar experience and find a digestive enzyme or probiotic or anything else that helped them?

Have you had follow-up celiac disease testing?  You might want to rule out active celiac disease.  Celiacs can develop other autoimmune disorders or illnesses.  If your celiac disease is active, you might want to find the gluten source.

      Decir la verdad, no, yo no me doy cuenta de unas complicaciones que puedan resultar de una incidente aislado de comer gluten cuando una este embarazada. Pero si, hay complicaciones de comer gluten regularmente en una mujer embarazada que tiene celiac. Bastante. Nuestro consejo sera NO LO HAGA! En mi opinion – y yo no soy una medica – nada le va a pasar despues de una incidente, sobre todo si ella no esta comiendo gluten regularmente.

      Hola gente! Soy nuevo por acá, mi señora está embarazada y es intolerante al gluten, ayer comió sin querer unos fideos qué tenían gluten, lleva 3meses de embarazo, les consulto, ¿sabrían en qué puede afectar qué haya comido de manera aislada gluten a su embarazo? Muchas gracias de antemano, estamos super asustados!!

      I also read this which some recommended as well: NASPGHAN recommends eating roughly 2 servings of gluten, equivalent to 2 slices of wheat-based bread, daily for 6-8 weeks prior to testing.

      My dr. stated to eat gluten for 4 weeks before bloodtest. I feel so much better w/o gluten and was going to wait until after the summer vacation but hesitating since reading the antibodies might go away etc. and if I can get it over with before hand especially before daughters graduation next month and before summer might be nice. Any tips besides eating at least 4 slices of whole wheat to get 10g of gluten in for testing. Im more worried about when it hits to find a bathroom especially b/c it can be after eating a meal or might not hit until after 2 days etc. Should I just go back to eating normal to prepare or does it make sense eat 2 slices whole wheat 2x a day and the rest gluten free to prep for test? I noticed b4 gluten free diet I started 5 weeks ago I would have non gluten-free oatmeal and have to go to bathroom right after eating or 2 hrs later. In afternoon I would eat whole wheat and not need to go immediately to bathroom after eating. What steps did you take for test prep.
