This Is So Insane!

So I've been gluten free for about a week and with the exception of one little slip, I've been feeling okay. So today for lunch I decide to go for some basic smoked ham (read the lable and there was nothing bad) and some cheese. I had two slices each of provolone and mozzerella. Within 15 minutes of finishing the cheese, I started to get stomach pains and a monumental amount of gas. My 14 year old is a master belcher and had I let one loose in front of him I would have left him in awe....that's how bad it was. I took two Gaviscon which helped a little bit but not a lot.

Is this a problem with lactose as well?? Thing is I don't like milk and most milk products, with the exception of ice cream and the very occasional vanilla yogurt. But I have been having a small amount of 1% milk (maybe 1/4 cup) with my cereal in the morning and I've been alright. I also have a history of GERD but am on medication for it.

What the blazes is going on with me?? Am I gluten and lactose intolerant?

I'm going to try eating a bagel tomorrow to see how I feel...I wonder if I shouldn't cut out all dairy as well and see what happens?

Like I said...this is soooo insane....all I want is to feel good. I'm too young to be this old! :(

Alot of the time people are lactose intolerant until their intestines heal. The tips of your villi are what digests the lactose so when they are damaged the lactose is not digested properly.

Also, a week is not really enough time to get rid of all your symptoms. Took me about 8 months...some people take longer than that and some people don't take as long. So don't expect instant changes. Also, at first there are so many things that you can miss. It covers not only food but products like lipstick and shampoos and that sort of thing. I know at first I was glutening myself and didn't even know it. If I knew what I know now, it probably would not have taken 8 months.

Hate to say it, but it's sure gonna take more than a few weeks for this pain to subside. It took me nearly a year before things were back on track.

I've been having the same things happen as they are to you. A lot of people who have Celiac and have problems with lactose, whey, casein, ect.

I know it would be hard cutting out gluten and milk products, but, giving a trial test time frame wouldn't hurt. I'm going through it right now, so, I know how you feel. I'd say at least give it a few weeks and then introduce dairy back into your diet and see how you feel. Hopefully things will get better :)

Why are you going to eat a bagel?

I just read some awesome stuff on dairy - at doctorj.com I think. He's a vet. Anyway, casein, soy, corn, and gluten are al glue - and all of them affect the small intestine. I'd stay away from dairy at the very least at first, and then consider goat dairy, which has way less casein, or continuing on dairy free. I've been dairy free for two years (except for a vacation in Hawaii on which my husbands father kept baking bread [before i was dx'd celiac] and I ate bread and butter for ten days)...and I think it's really helped, especially intestinally, but also in balancing out weight and the like.

Good luck.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
