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??

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
