Funny, I just posted on this. Since going gluten-free a month ago, the amount of gas I have has increased! I know there are medicines to help it, but I'd rather figure out what's causing it first.

What are you experiencing?

I don't know exactly what is normal, but I do think it's normal to have a little here and there. Things that can cause gas for me are:

increasing fiber too quickly

ingesting air with food and drink (think eating really fast and using straws, etc.)

eating something that your body can't tolerate (why I try to eat less processed foods so I can tell what ingredient is causing the problem)

I think gas comes from two places:

1) Air you swallow

2) Bacteria in your gut digesting and fermenting things and creating gasses

When I'm doing well, avoiding grains and complex sugars I don't have gas, when I do, it doesn't stink. I think it is Type 1 gas. It's maybe a poot or two each day (that I notice).

When I'm cheating like mad, eating corn based stuff (especially), I get gas type #2. And it isn't pleasant smelling and sometimes it is quite frequent.

Veggies cause the loud, non-smelly gas and meats cause the silent but deadlies.

In celiacs, we're just bad off all around gas wise. I think I read somewhere that the average person has about 2 liters of gas to expell out the back end each day...

Don't quote me though, I'd do a google on it, but I'm at work :P

I don't know what is "normal." I do know that when I was eating gluten I would have gas so bad that it would wake me up in the middle of the night. I could also smell up my entire minivan. I was talking to my husband one day complaining about my minivan smelling and trying to figure out what I left in it and then I realized it was because of me!

Now, I don't really have gas at all, maybe once a day. I can eat all the veggies and beans I want and it doesn't do anything to me. I do eat healthy

When I have gluten, it all comes back again.

So, I would think that if you are eating foods that you can tolerate that you shouldn't have much.

My experience with gas is the same as yours. The only thing other than gluten that will gas me up is if I chug a soda. No gluten = No Gas at least for me. Love those beans and broccoli. :D

i had alot of gas due to a dairy intolerance. and even giving that up it was still a small problem that i have seemed to remedy with enzymes and probiotics.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Helping child go strict gluten-free and concerns about growth/height

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
