Noisy stomach sounds after eating gluten-free food

[Nessacarrie]

Hello. I've recently started on gluten-free diet, on my doctor's orders. Celiac disease is ruled out, they say I'm gluten sensitive. And I feel better on the gluten-fee diet, but I've noticed every time I eat something gluten-free, my stomach goes very loud after that. Sloshing and rumbling, and I can feel the sounds. Is this normal? I keep reading it's the gluten that does this, but this is a whole new symptom that started after starting on the gluten-free food.

Welcome, Nessacarrie!

I don't mean to avoid your question but some additional info would be helpful to us in addressing your question.

First, what testing did the doctor do to arrive at the conclusion that you are gluten sensitive? What kind of doctor are we talking about? GP? gastro enterologis? Naturopath?

Second, what testing did the doctor do to rule out Celiac Disease? Did the doc order blood tests and if so, which ones? Have you had an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel done?

Third, what symptoms were you experiencing before going gluten free that led up to the diagnosis of gluten sensitivity?

Fourth, how long have you been eating gluten free? Has there been improvement in the original symptoms you were experiencing?

Hi!  
 

Welcome!  You  have made a dramatic dietary change.  I bet you are In hyper alert, worrying about your gut.  But you can relax.  A gluten free diet does no harm.  

Maybe those sounds were there before or maybe not.  Some newly diagnosed people go out and buy a lot of gluten free processed junk food like cookies, cakes, bread, etc.  all tasty, but like regular processed foods full of additives.  For example, when I went gluten free, I started consuming gluten-free bread.  The same bread my gluten-free hubby ate.  But I was feeling a bit sick.  There was no way I was eating gluten because I had been feeding my hubby gluten-free food for years and years.  Through a journal I identified  the culprit — Xanthan gum which is found in most commercially processed gluten-free baked goods.  Anther example would be if you have increased your ice cream consumption.  Lactose intolerance is common and you need to determine how much dairy you can eat without creating symptoms.    Maybe you are eating way too much broccoli.  Lots of foods can make your gut rumble.  
 

Keep a food and symptom journal.  Soon, you will figure all this out!  Keep asking questions as research is your best defense.
