i have to eat every 45 minutes or else i get pains so thats not a problem. As for applesauce what brands? and applesauce/bannanas thats alot of fiber wont that plug me up?? i read that motts natural is gluten-free but i cant find that in any stores around me.

i am thinkign about going on a simple elimanation/rotation diet after i talk to my doctor on wensday, but i dont wanna throw myself onto a very low food diet yet becuse i need all the energy i can get, after tomorrow i work 9 days strait 4:30am-3pm gonna be hell for aweek

Lister all Delmonte fruits and veggies are gluten-free. This includes the ones with jello and they may make applesauce as well. If you can't find Motts look for an applesauce that is just apples and call the company to make sure. Most should be gluten-free if they don't have 'flavorings' added.

Lister. I think you should have a h-pylori test. This is the bacteria that most ulcers are caused by. I also think you should look into candida overgrowth. This is common especially in the gluten intolerant. For starters, do a simple test tomorrow morning before you eat or drink anything. Fill a clear glass with water, then spit in it. If over the next half hour the spit sinks to the bottom or develops long tenacle like things or makes the water cloudy I would suspect candida. You can read about candida overgrowth on web.

already read about it, if ispit into a cup first thing in the morning withen less then 10 seconds it has tenticals and then the water gets clouly about 10 seconds after that, i have also filled out online tests for it and scored 76 points about the YOU HAVE IT mark

but i have had bactera tests and they came back negative so i dont know how to convince my doctor to do any more tests for it

Candida is not going to show up on a bacteria test. Check into Great Smokies labs about stool tests. I would assume you have it based on what you have already done. It can difficult to get accurate candida tests. Look into diet modification for candida and supplements to help. There are many out there. I am currently about to use Threelac. Dealing with some other issues first though.

anyone get what sounds and feels like poping noises from there stomic? also my stomic seems to burn alot... just wondering been on the diet for 3 months and they dont seem to be leaving

Don't have the poping sounds, but the burning feeling.... You mentioned Stomach. Burning in the stomach is normally acid, could be too much from nerves, etc. I used to get a warm sensation in my lower intestines, but have not had that for some time now.

Do you have insurance? If so your doctor can order the test. Then you pick it up and do it at home. There is a paper that you fill out and send to your insurance to get reimbursed. If money is a problem, and I can relate, then I would just go with the tests you have done on your own and try some natural ways to eliminate candida. I am going to use Threelac (find it on the web). I really suggest you get online and read all about it and the diet as well. With Threelac you don't have to do a strict diet, but you really need to stop refined sugars!

Lister,

Last summer I was having the burning rumbling pain in my stomach you mention and it never bothered me at night either. As soon as I got up and started moving through the day,it started again. Eating large meals gave me relief too. I was sure I had an ulcer! Had an upper GI done, and doc said no sign of ulcer but the lining of my stomach looked really irritated. Went home on proton pump inhibitors feeling discouraged. I had always been lactose intolerant for years and had that under control so didn't think that was the problem. But after food journaling, low and behold, It was milk! Now even a few drops gave me the above mentioned symptoms (which are different than the ones I used to get with lactose intolerance). So I cut out milk and 4 weeks later went of meds. and 2 weeks later all was fine! I think I have read in some of your posts that you suspect milk as a problem. Try cutting it out. Definiately keep a detailed food journal of what you are eating right now. Also, give it a month of no milk before you expect to see the pain go away it that is what is causing it. Hope this helps. Also, the food journal may help you to better understand the appearance of your stools.

unfortunatly i have not had milk/ or casein for 3 months already, my doc wants me to start eating products with milk now though, so i dont know anymore- he says everything is caused by the healing process but of course i dont belive him

Lister,

Sounds like milk isn't the problem then. Okay, well here is another suggestion. Before I found out it was milk for me last summer I was sure I had an ulcer. Before I had the upper gi done I took a breath test for the helicobacter (probably not spelled right) bacteria. This is the main cause for ulcers in people and cause a lot of problems. Mine of course was negative but you might consider asking your doctor about this. If you have this it can cause ulcers and it can usually be cleared up by taking a round of 2-3 antibioitics together. Hang in there, it seems like forever right now, but this too shall end.

The only time I had popping noises coming from my stomach was when I was pregnant.

It could be gas moving around. I would mention it to your dr the next time you see him/her.

Could you tell me if coffeemate or cremora is allowed?

G'day Lister.

I have similar burning sensations too from time to time ranging through my duodenum, small intestines, large intestines and rectum. I cycle between diarrhoea, constipation and normal bowel movements (remission). There are times when I eat wheat containing foods or greasy foods and I feel sick/queasy and get burning sensations. I have been suffering from excess phlegm for six years but the digestive problems and cycles of depression/brain cloudiness did not appear until three years ago.

Nine months ago I was suffering badly from a druggish kind of drowsiness which really wiped me out. I figured excess mucus, sweatiness, drowsiness and queasiness were a result of excess toxins in the body (due to allergies or intolerance) as I had already endured diagnosis with food allergies to artificial colours, flavours and preservatives ten years before.

Thinking I needed to flush out toxins I decided to drink two types of tea: green tea with a high level of antioxidants and peppermint tea for cooling the digestive system. I even eat raw peppermint leaves from my garden when I have a stomach burn-up. If you don't like the taste of green tea go for a flavoured version. I found this has made a huge difference as I no longer get tired and I do have less phlegm.

Perhaps you could try drinking the tea to make your life a bit bearable while trying to find your diagnosis. I did find that after drinking the tea for months that my teeth started to stain a little but this was easily solved with a whitening toothpaste. Tomorrow I go for my endoscopy to find out the state of my stomach and whether or not I have gluten intolerance. I went for a week on a gluten-free diet a couple of months ago and it felt like an invisible weight had been taken off my shoulders - I was happy and thought much more clearly at work.

I hope the tea helps.

Hi Lister. I really feel for you as stomach burning is my main symptom, and just about everything irritates it. Don't know about the popping though, although I'm guessing trapped wind like others have siad. I've had ulcers ruled out via endo. My sister has similar symptoms and her endo showed up a hernia, which can cause those symptoms. As well as getting checked out, do try and go on a simple diet. I desperately need to, so maybe we can encourage each other! Fatty stuff is my main culprit, then there's anything acidic or spicey. More exercise is a good idea (I'm telling myself that too!). And small meals regularly. Also, do try to make sure you've removed all sources of gluten, as it may be your sore stomach is your main gluten reaction.

good luck!

Lister,

YES, I am having popping sounds and feelings from my stomach too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It feels and sounds like a bubble just popped in your stomach. And it sounds like (I'm not exaggerating) fireworks going on in my stomach. And sometimes there's bubbling sounds coming from my stomach. I too have burning sensations in my stomach too.

I feel tired and sleepy and exhausted no matter how many hours of sleep I get.. and my stomach kind of hurts too.

I need help and I feel just like you too! I'm fed up with this problem and this horrible life with this problem.

Especially when the noises are getting louder and more embarrassing!

In additition I have frequent bowel movements everyday (at least 3 times a day) and it feels like I am spending most of my time in the restroom instead of working :(

I NEED HELP AND IF YOU GET ANY INFORMATION OR FIND A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM PLEASE PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED AND I WILL TRY TO DO THE SAME FOR YOU.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING YOUR PROBLEM... FEELS LIKE I HAVE SOMEBODY FOR SUPPORT!

The Dapsone has cleared the rash entirely but I still get quite a bit itching, absolutely nothing to see though. I know its notoriously hard to clear and its still relatively early days for me.  The iodine issue is very interesting. I do eat quite a bit of salt because I have Addison's disease and sodium retention is an issue. I also have autoimmune hypothyroidism, not sure how a low iodine diet would play into that? Because of my Addison's I am totally steroid dependent, I take steroids 4 x daily and cannot mount any defence against inflammation. I need to increase my meds for that. Now that I know what is wrong I can do just that if Im having a bad day. Life is very sweet, just so damn complicated sometimes! Hey ho, onwards. Thank you again for your advice.

      So, essentially all of the nutrition in the food we eat is absorbed through the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestinal track that is damaged by celiac disease. This villous lining is composed of billions of finger-like projections that create a huge amount of surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the celiac person, when gluten is consumed, it triggers an autoimmune reaction in this area which, of course, generates inflammation. The antibodies connected with this inflammation is what the celiac blood tests are designed to detect but this inflammation, over time, wears down the finger-like projections of the villous lining. Of course, when this proceeds for an extended period of time, greatly reduces the absorption efficiency of the villous lining and often results in many and various nutrient deficiency-related health issues. Classic examples would be osteoporosis and iron deficiency. But there are many more. Low D3 levels is a well-known celiac-caused nutritional deficiency. So is low B12. All the B vitamins in fact. Magnesium, zinc, etc.  Celiac disease can also cause liver inflammation. You mention elevated ALP levels. Elevated liver enzymes over a period of 13 years was what led to my celiac diagnosis. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes normalized. I had elevated AST and ALT. The development of sensitivities to other food proteins is very common in the celiac population. Most common cross reactive foods are dairy and oats but eggs, soy and corn are also relatively common offenders. Lactose intolerance is also common in the celiac population because of damage to the SB lining.  Eggs when they are scrambled or fried give me a gut ache. But when I poach them, they do not. The steam and heat of poaching causes a hydrolysis process that alters the protein in the egg. They don't bother me in baked goods either so I assume the same process is at work. I bought a plastic poacher on Amazon to make poaching very easy. All this to say that many of the issues you describe could be caused by celiac disease.

      thank you so much for your detailed and extremely helpful reply!! I can say with absolute certainty that the less gluten containing products I've eaten over the past several years, the better I've felt.   I wasn't avoiding gluten, I was avoiding refined grains (and most processed foods) as well as anything that made me feel bad when I ate it. It's the same reason I gave up dairy and eggs- they make me feel ill.  I do have a bit of a sugar addiction lol so a lot of times I wasn't sure if it was the refined grains that I was eating - or the sugar. So from time to time I might have a cookie or something but I've learned how to make wonderful cookies and golden brownies with BEANS!! and no refined sugar - I use date paste instead. Pizza made me so ill- but I thought it was probably the cheese. I gave up pizza and haven't missed it. the one time I tried a slice I felt so bad I knew I'd never touch it again. I stopped eating wheat pasta at least 3 yrs ago- just didn't feel well after eating it. I tried chick pea pasta and a few others and discovered I like the brown rice pasta. I still don't eat a lot of pasta but it's nice for a change when I want something easy. TBH over the years I've wondered sometimes if I might be gluten intolerant but really believed it was not possible for me to have celiac disease. NOW I need to know for sure- because I'm in the middle of a long process of trying to find out why I have a high parathyroid level (NOT the thyroid- but rather the 4 glands that control the calcium balance in your body) I have had a hard time getting my vit D level up, my serum calcium has run on the low side of normal for many years... and now I am losing calcium from my bones and excreting it in my urine (some sort of renal calcium leak) Also have a high ALP since 2014. And now rapidly worsening bone density.  I still do not have a firm diagnosis. Could be secondary HPT (but secondary to what? we need to know) It could be early primary HPT. I am spilling calcium in my urine but is that caused by the high parathyroid hormone or is it the reason my PTH is high>? there are multiple feedback loops for this condition.    so I will keep eating the bread and some wheat germ that does not seem to bother me too much (it hasn't got enough gluten to use just wheat germ)    but I'm curious- if you don't have a strong reaction to a product- like me and wheat germ- does that mean it's ok to eat or is it still causing harm even if you don't have any obvious symptoms? I guess what you are saying about silent celiac makes it likely that you can have no symptoms and still have the harm... but geez! you'd think they'd come up with a way to test for this that didn't require you to consume something that makes you sick! I worry about the complications I've been reading about- different kinds of cancers etc. also wondering- are there degrees of celiac disease?  is there any correlation between symptoms and the amnt of damage to your intestines? I also need a firm diagnosis because I have an identical twin sister ... so if I have celiac, she has it too- or at least the genetic make up for having it. I did have a VERY major stress to my body in 2014-2016 time frame .. lost 50lbs in a short period of time and had severe symptoms from acute protracted withdrawal off an SSRI drug (that I'd been given an unethically high dose of, by a dr who has since lost his license)  Going off the drug was a good thing and in many ways my health improved dramatically- just losing 50lbs was helpful but I also went  off almost a dozen different medications, totally changed my diet and have been doing pretty well except for the past 3-4 yrs when the symptoms related to the parathyroid issue cropped up. It is likely that I had low vit D for some time and that caused me a lot of symptoms. The endo now tells me that low vit D can be caused by celiac disease so I need to know for sure! thank you for all that great and useful information!!!

      Welcome, @catnapt! The most recent guidelines are the daily consumption of a minimum of 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks. But if possible stretching that out even more would enhance the chances of getting valid test results. These guidelines are for those who have been eating gluten free for a significant amount of time. It's called the "gluten challenge".  Yes, you can develop celiac disease at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but also a stress trigger that is needed to activate the celiac genes. About 30-40% of the general population possesses the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually develop celiac disease. For most with the potential, the triggering stress event doesn't happen. It can be many things but often it is a viral infection. Having said that, it is also the case that many, many people who eventually are diagnosed with celiac disease probably experienced the actual onset years before. Many celiacs are of the "silent" type, meaning that symptoms are largely missing or very minor and get overlooked until damage to the small bowel lining becomes advanced or they develop iron deficiency anemia or some other medical problem associated with celiac disease. Many, many are never diagnosed or are diagnosed later in life because they did not experience classic symptoms. And many physicians are only looking for classic symptoms. We now know that there are over 200 symptoms/medical problems associated with celiac disease but many docs are only looking for things like boating, gas, diarrhea. I certainly understand your concerns about not wanting to damage your body by taking on a gluten challenge. Your other option is to totally commit to gluten free eating and see if your symptoms improve. It can take two years or more for complete healing of the small bowel lining once going gluten free but usually people experience significant improvement well before then. If their is significant improvement in your symptoms when going seriously gluten free, then you likely have your answer. You would either have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      after several years of issues with a para-gland issue, my endo has decided it's a good idea for me to be tested for celiac disease. I am 70 yrs old and stunned to learn that you can get celiac this late in life. I have just gradually stopped eating most foods that contain gluten over the past several years- they just make me feel ill- although I attributed it to other things like bread spiking blood sugar- or to the things I ate *with* the bread or crackers etc   I went to a party in Nov and ate a LOT of a vegan roast made with vital wheat gluten- as well as stuffing, rolls and pie crust... and OMG I was so sick! the pain, the bloating, the gas, the nausea... I didn't think it would ever end (but it did) and I was ready to go the ER but it finally subsided.   I mentioned this to my endo and now she wants me to be tested for celiac after 2 weeks of being on gluten foods. She has kind of flip flopped on how much gluten I should eat, telling me that if the symptoms are severe I can stop. I am eating 2-3 thin slices of bread per day (or english muffins) and wow- it does make me feel awful. But not as bad as when I ate that massive amnt of vital wheat gluten. so I will continue on if I have to... but what bothers me is - if it IS celiac, it seems stupid for lack of a better word, to intentionally cause more damage to my body... but I am also worried, on the other hand, that this is not a long enough challenge to make the blood work results valid.   can you give me any insight into this please?   thank you
