Diagnosed via blood test 1 year ago randomly having symptoms again while strictly gluten free?

Hi! 
I was diagnosed via bloodwork a year ago with celiac, going gluten free definitely cleared up a lot of my symptoms (nausea after gluten meals, loose floating stools, rank gas). Had random bouts of upset tummy (possibly glutened a few times). Really tightened down my diet decided to try a few probiotics to get back to my pre-celiac regularity because I never got back to perfectly normal bowels after diagnosis. After the last probiotic I quit taking my stomach has been off! Lots of rumbling, gas, and even diarrhea again. Messaged my doctor and he told me to take align probiotic. I’m one week into it and seeing minimal improvement. It couldn’t be gluten upsetting my stomach so what gives? I’ve explored the possibility of SIBO? Just not sure why I’ve never leveled off after diagnosis and completely cutting out gluten? Ugh! Any other diagnosed celiacs still having trouble after going gluten free? Could it be IBS on top of celiac? I’ve eliminated dairy before and it doesn’t seem to help? So I don’t believe I have a lactose issue?

Welcome to the forum, Meghan255!

IBS is more common in the celiac population than in the general population. So, it's a possibility.

There's also the possibility that you have developed additional food intolerances and it can be almost almost anything, though the most common are dairy and oats (even glute free oats). 

Have you checked all the labels of the processed and canned goods in your pantry lately. Food companies can and do change formulations such that what used to be gluten-free is no more. What about supplements and meds? Wheat starch can be used as a filler in pills.

Are you intimate with someone who is still consuming gluten? Kissing can "gluten" the celiac if the other party has consumed gluten close to the time of the mouth to mouth contact.

@Meghan255,

Welcome to the forum!

Could you please tell us what you include in your diet?

Do you include dairy? 

Do you eat Gluten free facsimile foods (cookies, bread, processed packaged foods)?

Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, and peppers)?

Are you vegetarian?

Thanks!

This article may be helpful, and if you eat in restaurant, even from a gluten-free menu, cross contamination is still likely:

i actually have been experiencing some GI issues this past 10 days on and off and i’ve been strictly gluten-free since jan of 2021- today for example i woke up with a slight rash on my mouth area and chin that settled down until dinner time when i felt the itchy crawly skin feeling again - i used several new facial products in last 2 days which may have caused it and i think my GI issues might be from having a bit too much lactose lately / which i generally don’t have - im hoping it will clear up and i will get back to normal - i may have gotten intolerant to lactose -

      The Happy Tart review

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they...

      The Happy Tart review

      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?

      The Happy Tart review

      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally...

      Ibuprofen

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can...

      Ibuprofen

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce. Something is making my pain so much worse I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs. Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever...

Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
