Well i think im finally getting better as my stomic is slightly calmed down and my stools are starting to go slightly normal.. well they contain what look like coffee grounds but as the stools are not tarry or red or black im not to worried about it figure tis probably just dead mucus. But what i am trying to figure out is what causing all of these wierd unexplaind stomic noisis i am having. Just wierd noises constantly all over not in just one area, a wierd noise may come from my chest then from my left side then from my right side, Maybe its gas leaking from a hole somewhere?? i dont know its almost like something is feeding off of me. Also i am overweight yes but my weight loss is still of a consern to me so i have been eating lots of extra chips and crap, but i seem to be loosing around 2 to 3 pounds a day still. Also my brain fog is still here i wish it would go away not sure why its still with me, is something wrong with my brain? or is this simply detox??

How long have you been eating gluten-free? And how strict about it have you been?

Brain Fog can be cause by many things - including food allergies. Which since you've had problems with gluten then most likely you also have some kind of food allergy/intolerance as well (usually as a side effect of the gluten).

It does sound like you're going through some kind of detox, though I am not sure as I don't know how long you've been going gluten-free.

It's a start, a good start. Just stay with it. You said you noticed a decrease in symptoms. That shows you are on the right track. As for your other stomach problems, are you eating veggies? Winter squashes are really mellow tasting and don't bother the stomach; lots of people swear by mash taters as their primo comfort food. Don't do cheese or dairy for awhile, up to three months. Where the villi are damaged from the effects of the celiac disease is also where the body produces what it needs to digest diary. That may help some more. You may want to check out a protein shake mix to keep your protien levels to where they should be. Also, a great supplement to speed healing is L-glutamine. But be careful you don't get one with gluten or wheat starch as a binder.

Remember, it takes the body time to heal, and you need to feed it properly to promote healing.

yeah im acually starting to do alot better finally i posted it in another post. My stomic has almost completed stoped with the noises just slightly every once and a while, and i think i only had maybe 2 stomic pains today compared to like every 10 minutes or every 2 minutes for liek 20 minutes in a row. So im doing really good, and my stools are not nearly as green anymore but unforuntaly there still coming out round balls and completly plugged but definatly doing alot better. I eat lots of salad acually its one of my primary foods now with cucumber and carrots. mmmm and i just started to eat pork today mmmm makes a good salad topping

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…
