Mmkay, this is a little weird. The "skinny kid with pot-belly" was pre-gluten-free thing, right? I'm starting to get that way now!!! I feel like I'm going to burst! I never dealt with this before. Only related to it was I lost a lot of weigh and had the sereve pain, yeah, you guys know.

I'm guessing I'm getting glutened and I'm always bloated.

Gas-X doesn't really help with bloating. I need suggestions, bad!!! I'm tired of my stomach hurting. <_< Thanks :)

Check the label on Gas-X. I vaguely recall that it has gluten. Ironically many of the OTC meds for bloating have dairy or gluten ingredients, which just exacerbate our symptoms. I drink strong peppermint tea for cramping pain and yoga positions for bloating after gluten or dairy contamination.

I just want to second the activated charcoal. My doc just put me on that one tablet three times per day to kill some of the bloat in my lower abdomen...and it seems to be helping.

You need to call the company for any OTC product but especially for tummy ones. Sometimes I wonder if they know about the delayed reactions for gluten and put it in on purpose so we keep needing their meds. I used to take Immodium liquid as a preventitive every day. Now I wonder how much extra damage the gluten in that did.

To help with the pain you could try a gentle massage start on the left side near the pubic bone and using your index and middle finger massage in gentle but firm circles, move slowly up the side of your abdomen and then under the area right under your ribs, then go down the other side until you end up where you started. Breathe slowly and deeply while you do this. A hot water bottle on your tummy for a few minutes before you start the massage can be nice.

If you know yoga I found doing the inverted stance called a shoulder stand and then bringing my knees to my chest helped too. DON'T TRY THIS IF you don't already know yoga or you have back problems. And don't do it with other folks in the room, the whole object is to expell the gas :D

I hope you get some relief soon.

Is it possible you could be intolerant to something else other than the gluten? I still can't digest fat very well, so if I eat too much, I bloat up like a severely pregnant woman.

I started with the bloat after going gluten free - go figure! I have had some relief by taking digestive enzymes before meals.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
