Ibs

I've had ibs for 20+ years . When I have a flare up I sweat on a night. Get a cramping pain lower left abdomen and gurgling noise with constipation. I feel really ill for about a week and serious brain fog. I have narrowed down culprits to noodles and pasta and bread in large quantities. Carb free diets make me better. Doctor says it can't be coeliac because I can eat bread in small quantities and I eat shreddies with no symptoms. Does anybody out there manage to eat things they aren't supposed to and are anyone's symptoms like mine. Thanks

SIBO?

no offense, but go see another doctor.  a doctor can not tell you that you don't have it just from what you are able/unable to eat comfortably and without testing.   from experience, i can tell you that most doctors don't know much about celiac.  my (trusted!) doctor treated my 'ibs' for 20 plus years before he even suggested that i could have celiac (i had never even heard of it) - i was super angry that this had never been explored before they were ready to put me on a feeding tube because i was so emaciated.  the night sweats are nothing to fool with - get checked out by a gastroenterologist.  

stay on gluten until your testing is complete, you need to have the antibodies for the test to be accurate.  good luck - i have been in your shoes!

Thanks . This is exactly why I went on this site. I've only just started looking up celiac disease . I am going to book to see doctor and ask again. Thing is I've asked about if it could be other things before and doctors say no it's just ibs. Maybe cos I still eat small amounts of bread with no problems. Thanks again. Sorry didn't reply sooner I was expecting email letting know of replies

I think you have to tick that box in your preferences.

Stubbo,

To follow up on what Not me! said.....Follow up on those Night Sweats!

It could be undiagnosed Diabetes  or worse yet another Auto-Immune disease going undiagnosed.

Here is a nice overview of things that can cause "Night Sweats" and none of them are pleasant.

I have had this problem lately and it turns out it was my Hereditary Hemachromatosis acting up....

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

I agree with Trents and others - research on the internet and read the symptoms of SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth) and see a gastroenterologist or an integrative family practice physician who is familiar with diagnosing (breath test) and prescribing this condition.  I suffered with this for many years adapting my diet over and over.  Carbs (especially sugar) feed the bacteria and make you feel worse.  It took three rounds of antibiotics to finally clear the bacteria and now I'm in another "phase" with healing the gut from the damage it made.  I still feel best when eating low or no carbs.  It does a number on your brain (gut-brain relationship) and with your sleep.  You will get over this but you need medical advice and treatment.

I could eat a little gluten and get absolutely no intestinal symptoms.  So yes, absolutely get a different doctor.

      Help needed

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Thankyou so much for your reply I decided to skip the senna has I've already had very loose stools last few days I've cut my portions down on the low fiber diet too and drinking lots of liquid has I just thought it would be wise to listen to myself too I've probably already done wat the senna would of done myself naturally by drinking clear apple juice which if not on the diet I would have to avoid anyways has I don't tolerate many fruit juices so I'm sure I've done the right thing I did try to contact the department on my letter but weirdly enough it was ringing but then after a while saying wrong number 🤷 but again I'm positive I've done the right thing I'm going to take today very lightly too with low portions and more liquids so yes thankyou for that advise I am very nervous but I have had time to think and read other peoples experiences and not all are bad there is some good advise and reassuring information from people who do these all the time so I'm trying my best to be positive so I can at least settle my mind knowing im doing this to help my own health has this year has been a rollercoaster for me cutting out gluten and lactose was a good idea but I still get flare ups and other symptoms so it definitely is worth a check like you said it was the calprotein that prompted the doctor to refer me again thankyou for your reply it's means a lot for someone to take the time to listen and respond and give uplifting advise  especially to me just now has I'm a bundle of nerves inside getting closer to tomorrow prep so thankyou for that 🙏

      Cruise and GliadinX

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi StevieP I think it is best to take GliadinX Just before, during or just after you eat a food that may have a small amount of gluten.  Taking 2 capsules of GliadinX in the morning will not protect you all day because it will be long gone when you need it. The upper digestive system is where the digestive enzymes break down gluten. The problem with Celiacs is that normal digestion will only break down gluten to the point where the small fragments will still cause a reaction. GliadinX will break down the fragments so that they are too small to start the autoimmune reaction.  The label on my bottle reads'it works in the stomach' and that is ver concentrated so 1 capsule is the recomm Hope this helps/Have a lovely cruise.ended dose for each meal.

      It’s completely understandable to feel confused and anxious—colonoscopy prep can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re already dealing with symptoms like loose stools and elevated inflammation markers (that high calprotectin and CRP definitely warrant further investigation!). Regarding the senna tablets: The warning about avoiding senna with IBD (like Crohn’s or colitis) is typically because it can irritate an already inflamed colon. Since you don’t yet have a confirmed diagnosis—but your brother has colitis—it might be worth calling your gastroenterologist’s office today to clarify if you should skip the senna given your symptoms and family history. Some clinics have an on-call nurse who can advise quickly. For the prep itself: Plenvu is strong, so if your bowels are already loose, the senna might be overkill. Stick to clear liquids tomorrow (broth, apple juice, etc.) and stay near a bathroom! For anxiety, remember the procedure itself is painless (you’ll likely be sedated), and the prep is the hardest part. Bring a phone charger or book to the clinic, and treat yourself afterward to something gentle on your stomach (like mashed potatoes or yogurt). Hang in there—this is a big step toward answers. You’re doing great advocating for yourself!

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Great question! Wheat straw dishes are typically made from the stalks of wheat plants (which are naturally gluten-free) combined with a binding resin. While the straw itself shouldn’t contain gluten, the safety depends on how the product is processed. Some manufacturers may use wheat-based binders or process the straw in facilities that handle gluten, creating cross-contact risks. To be safe, I’d recommend reaching out to the company directly to ask: 1) If their wheat straw material is tested to confirm it’s free of gluten proteins, and 2) Whether the production line avoids cross-contamination with gluten-containing ingredients. Many brands now cater to gluten-free consumers and will provide detailed answers. If you’re uncomfortable with the uncertainty, alternatives like bamboo, ceramic, or glass dishes are inherently gluten-free and worry-free. Always better to double-check—your diligence is totally justified!
