I have been gluten-free for several years now. every once in a while i will get this horrible tasting gas in the form of a burp (tastes like rotten eggs) and several hours later i 'llhave the runs and end up throwing up. This whole episode lasts for several hours until the rotten egg gas stops coming up--seems to be purged from my body. Does anyone out there have this type of reaction? L.A.

That horrible gas was my most life-limiting symptom before I figured everything out. I never threw up from it, but it was too awful and constant to even think about going anywhere. I do still get it if I get glutened too.

Hi there,

My son gets those really bad and we have to leave the room! :blink:

His is due to the lactose intolerance. Whenever he eats cheese or milk he turns into a rotten egg.

We all run for cover.

Hi LA: Your signature included "GI told me that he has four other patients just like me who have all the symptoms of celiac and whose overall health is greatly improved by going gluten free, but just don't have the intestinal damage that goes along with classic celiac." Maybe your GI should question how he's doing the biopsies, rather than just assuming his patients are weird. Unless docs take biopsies of every inch of the small intestine, they can easily miss celiac damage. Unfortunately they assume their tests are correct and their patients don't have celiac disease, despite symptoms and dramatic health improvement when abstaining from gluten. SIGH <_<

That sounds like giardia ( beaver fever) to me, which a person gets from drinking impure water. I had those same symtoms for years long before my celiac disease showed up. After switching to distilled water - we used to drink unpurified pond water- I've never had it since. even if I get some gluten now. :)

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
