Tummy pains after going gluten free


Freequeen

Recommended Posts

Freequeen Newbie

Hi so I’ve been gluten free a week nearly & I’ve had really bad stomach ache the last 2 days. I was wondering if anyone could advise what I can eat whilst the initial adjustment settles. I know mint tea works well for an angry stomach. Is this normal though? My stomach feels sore, angry, bloated & I had a bad stomach (d) last night. I’ve tried to Google but can’t find much. 
I’ve only had gluten free bread once the rest has been clean eating really rice, chickpea curry, fish potatoes. I was thinking of cutting dairy out too as seen it advised. The brain fog & tiredness have lifted but the sore tummy doesn’t seem to be.... Any help would be much appreciated!

Your on the right track just continue to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in processed food and through cross contamination.

It can take days, even weeks, to get over one gluten episode.

It can take two years or more for the gut to experience full healing after committing to eating gluten-free and every gluten episode can be a setback.

Best approach, particularly during the learning curve, is to avoid all processed foods and stick to fresh meat, eggs, fruit and veggies, simple things using only seasonings your are sure are gluten-free. Also, avoid dairy and soy and any other food you suspect gives you issues.

Also, about 10% of celiacs react to oat protein the same way they do wheat/barley, rye gluten. So that is something you should look at.

Yes, re-check your diet and be sure there is no hidden gluten, and note that gluten-free breads often contain high levels of xanthan gum, which can cause gastro issues in some people:

      Thank you. I already cut out dairy and eggs because I found out I was having a problem with them. To be honest I’m just getting worn out 😂

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail,  I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however,  the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I have an appointment with the consultant early April probably followed by another endoscopy, as far as I’m aware I have not been tested for vitamin B and will definitely discuss it with the doctor on my next visit.

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another.   If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on.  They're just not ready to learn that lesson.  But you confidently keep going on your journey.  They can catch up later.

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start feeling better soon.

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances.  It's a web site but there's also an app.
