So im trying to figure out whats going on but my doctor looked at me like im crazy, basically it keeps feeling and sounding like im passing gas, but instead of coming from my rectum its coming from inside of me like close to the rectum or my left side, it literaly feels like im passing gas but its inside of me, anyone know about this??

also the farther i get into this diet the more i think maybe the doctor missed somethign to test for and maybe the one thing that makes him think im gluten sensative (subsaren folds in small intestine) may be caused by something else, as everything is back to how it was im no longer a 4 on the poop scale and am back down to a 2 with mucus, all the healing i had come along with has reverted, i know you all say it can take time but when there is no evedince of healing anymore it really makes me feel unsertain that this is doing anything for me besides making me depressed. my stomic hurts and i feel like im going to throw up all day long lately. i have isolated anything that may contain gluten and i know for a fact that im doing nothing wrong i wont even go out to eat as much as my girlfriend wants to and i just keep cooking my own meals so i know thats safe, all my house prodcuts are safe and same with persnol care products

also what causes canker sores, i have a white little bump on the inside of my lip and it really hurts

[i've been gluten-free for 2 months, and have had similar ups and then downs...I've had the same "kind of like gas experience). I've finally given up trying to figure it all out and chalking it up to the healing process - it's really helped my peace of mind. My gas production seems to have increased since going gluten-free. Go figure!

Celiac can cause canker sores. And gosh are they painful. I hope it goes away for you quickly.

As far as the gas-like thing you describe. I used to get that all the time. I still do sometimes. I think it's pretty normal.

Has your doctor checked you for other intolerances? Other intolerances can impede your progress immensly.

nope not sure how to check. hes trying to do anything he can without using money as he already racked me up 3k in bills since i dont have insurance, and i dont seem to have a problem with anything besides dairy but from what i read that may go away with time

canker sore acually already went away, only lasted about 7 hours

Lister does your girlfreind wear lipsticks or glosses? Does she wear makeup, or use lotions in places you like to get close to?

Keep in mind that since she isn't gluten-free, her makeup isn't either, especially lip glosses. For example, she eats a big gluteny slice of pizza, and then puts on her blistex and gluten gets into her lip gloss. Just a thought. I had issues with old chapstick after going gluten-free.

The canker sore you had was probably an allergic reaction to something, since it only lasted 7 hours. I'm allergic to tree nuts and get a rash on the inside of my mouth from it that lasts anywhere from a few hours to a few days.

As far as that gassy feeling, I get that too and I normally attribute it to bowel contractions and noises.

I know it sucks so far, but give it time and it will get better! About a month in I felt great, and then I started being worse off than I was before, but I got better again.

Is Orajel gluten free? If so, that may give you temporary relief. I have a prescription from my doctor for some barrier steroid cream. I get ulcers all the time when I get glutened. It's miserable!!!

I'm not sure how big of a difference there actually is between canker sores and ulcers. I always thought they were kind of the same thing. I'm sure it would, but you'd have to ask your doctor. It works really well. It tastes horrible though, so if he prescribes you something, make sure it doesn't touch your tongue until it dries. Eck... I made that mistake once.

I guess you might have to snack constantly! It's called "grazing"... just keep picking at snacky stuff all day, if you want to have a meal meal, eat til you are feeling full

Lister, I get canker sores, sore throat and mouth rashes from dairy products. My son gets mouth sores from anything he is allergic to. Maybe you should keep a food journal and write down everything you eat including all the ingredients in the food, then record your symptoms. Try not to eat new things until you get to the bottom of it. It could be one of the common allergy- causing foods (nuts, soy, corn, dairy, eggs). I know this sounds like a broken record, but it could also be the healing process or hidden gluten. I was sicker feeling sometimes than before I cut out gluten for the first couple of months. The gluten seems to slowly "work its way out" like some weird alien!!! :blink: Take care and keep us posted.

i think the canker sore was just random, i used to get them alot as a kid have not had one for a very long time, its in the worst spot right infront of my front teeth, so i keep rubbing it with my teeth ripping it open so its gonna take a bit for it to heal, i dont think it had anything to do with a reaction to anything i think it either is part of the healing or just random, this healing is really started to f me up, my hands look like a 80 year old from all the extra wrinkles and cracking thats happening

talked to my doctor today, about my stomic grumbles and exactly what they feel like and sound like, he says im starving myself, i told him about the fact that i eat every 40 minutes to keep it calml he says it does not matter i just need to snack like every 30 on something like vegetables and still eat whole meals, for some reason during my healing process my body is going into a starvation mode aparently im not abosorbing as much food as i thought i was :(

i personaly think that the reason it goes away if i eat really often is because, its just what my bowls do if there not busy digesting, so the second im not digesting food my stomic starts to hurt and attacks me, that cant be good i wonder if im doing damage when i sleep??

      Newly diagnosed, struggling

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hello @CeliacNew, If you are Vegan to help you feel better, reconsider returning to omnivore.  Actually, since you are already on a very restrictive diet, transitioning to gluten free might be easier for you.  Read the ingredient labels, Particularly vitamin D and Choline require supplements for vegan diet because our primary source is sun, eggs and beef.  B12 also.

      Multiple symptoms and mixed provider responses

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Once you've completed testing and still don't have improvement, start a trial gluten free diet.  Looking for imprvement that may indicate Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, which is 10 times more prevalent than Celiac Disease. Deficiencies in vitamins B6, B12, D, and C can manifest as skin rashes.  Virtual guaranty you are deficient in vitamin D.

      Help vetting HLA-DQ typing provider

      By cameo674 · Posted

      So those rs numbers tell researchers where the dbSNP is located in a Genome so that other reasearchers or an AI system can look in that specific spot for that Snip of information.  You can look those rs # s by pasting the numbers after rs into the lookup on this page https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/ right under the Blue header bar at the top of the webpage.  Since you are not a researcher, I do not know how this will help you though.

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      By cameo674 · Posted

      So I posted here once before, and everyone advocated that I get into a GI doc.  I finally got into my functional health appointment on 6/16 to get my blood results evaluated and get the Gastro referral. I was told that I would be fortunate to see a gastro doctor by December, because of the number of people waiting to get in, but they did believe that I needed to see a GI doc among others.  Well, the stars aligned. I got home. I looked at MyChart and it showed an appointment available for later that same day. I never clicked so fast on an appointment time. The gastro doc ran some additional blood work based off the December values that had confirmed my daughter's suspicion that I have undiagnosed stomach issues.  Gastro has also scheduled me to get an upper endoscopy as well as a colonoscopy since it has been 8 years since my last one. She said it would rule out other concerns if I did not show Celiac per the biopsies.  Those biopsies will not occur until August 29th and like everyone here stated, Gastro wants me to keep gluten in my diet exactly as everyone suggested. To be honest, I was barely eating any gluten since I figured I would have plenty of time to do so before testing.  Doc is also looking for the cause of the low level heartburn that I have had for 30 years.  I have mentioned the heartburn to PCPs in the past and they always said take a tums or other OTC drug.  The upper endoscopy is for ruling out eosinphilic esophagitis, h. pylori, and to biopsy the duodenal bulb and second portion to confirm or exclude celiac. The colonoscopy will have random biopsies to rule out microscopic colitis. I didn't really catch her reasoning for the bloodwork.  Doc looked at the December numbers and said they were definitely concerning for Celiac.  She also said, “Hmm that’s odd; usually it’s the reverse”, but I did not catch which result made her say that. She seems very through.  She also asked why I had never bothered to see a GI before.  To be honest, I told her I just assumed that the heartburn and loose stool were a part of aging.  I have been gassy since I was born and thought constantly passing gas was normal?  Everyone I know with Celiac have horrible symptoms that cannot be attributed to other things.  They are in a lot of stomach pain.  I do not go through that.  I attribute my issues to the lactose intolerance that comes with aging, but have slowly been eliminating foods from my diet due to the heartburn or due my assumption that they did not agree with a medication that I was prescribed. I have already eliminated milk products especially high fat ones like ice cream; fats like peanut butter; acids like citrus and tomatoes; chocolate in all forms; and breads more because it is so hard to get in 100 grams of protein if I eat any foods that are not a protein.  I would not have even done the testing if my daughter had not brought up the fact that she thought I might have an undiagnosed condition since she has issues with bloating and another sibling has periodic undiagnosed stomach pain that GI docs throw pills at instead of helping.  Who knew that Bristol scale 5 and 6 were not considered normal especially multiple times a day? I watched my MIL go through basically the same bowel changes starting at 50 so to be honest, I really did think it was normal before this week's appointment.   December 2024's blood tests ran through Quest Labs were:  Deamidated Gliadin (IgA) 53.8 U/mL Above range >15.0 U/mL; Deamidated Gliadin (IgG) >250.0 U/mL Above Range >15.0 U/mL; Tissue Transglutaminase (IgA) 44.0 U/mL Above range >15.0 U/mL; Tissue Transglutaminase (IgG) <1.0 In range <15.0; Immunoglobulin A (IgA) 274 mg/dL In range 47-310 mg/dL 6/16/25 bloodwork:  Until today, I did not really know what all the four tubes of blood were for and since I did not understand the results, I got into the clinical notes to see what was ordered, but it did not exactly explain why for everything. Immunoglobulins IGG, IGA, IGM all came back in range:  IGG 1,010 mg/dL In range 600-1,714; IgA 261 mg/dL In range 66-433 mg/dL; IGM 189 mg/dL In range 45-281.  How do these numbers help with diagnosis? Google says she checked these to see if I have an ongoing infection? I do have Hashimoto's and she did say once you have one autoimmune disease others seem to follow. Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies? Comprehensive Metabolic Panel: Everything was in the middle of the normal range.  Google says this just says I am metabolically healthy. Tissue Transglutaminase ABS test results – Done by the Mayo Clinic’s Labs –  T-Transglutaminase IGA AB --Value: 3.1 U/mL – Normal Value is <4.0 (negative) U/mL; Tissue Transglutaminase, IgG -- Value: 15.3 U/mL High -- Normal Value is <6.0 (Negative) U/mL – Interpretation Positive (>9.0) – These are the only labs the GI did that have been labeled Abnormal.  I am confused at how/why these came back different than the December labs? Because these numbers seem to be the opposite of what the were in December and I know I have eaten less gluten.  They were definitely measured differently and had different ranges. This must be why she said they are usually opposite? Molecular Stool Parasite Panel said I was Negative for Giardia Lamblia by PCR; Entamoeba Histolytica by PCR and Cryptosporidium Parvum/Hominis by PCR.  So at least I do not need to do a parasite cleanse like everyone on TikTok seems to be doing. So I guess, I am just really asking why the Tissue Transglutaminase numbers are different.  Was it because they were truly different tests? Is it because I have not consumed the crazy amount of gluten one is suppose to eat prior to testing? To be honest, I thought that was only for the biopsy testing. I generally only eat twice a day, and the thought of eating the equivalent of 6 slices of bread is daunting. Even in my youth, I probably only consumed the equivalent of maybe 3 slices a day. Like I said before, now I usually focus on trying to eat 60 gram of protein.  I am suppose to consume 100 grams, but have failed to succeed. I will focus on eating gluten starting in July now that I know my procedure date.

      Worried about being isolated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer.
