Hello all. I'm the newbie to this forum and I was wondering about something: When you DO accidentally eat something with gluten in it and you bloat, what do you do? Is there something you take to alleviate that beachball-in-your-belly feeling? I've had five abdominal surgeries so the cavity is FULL of scar tissue. When I bloat it's terribly painful as scar tissue has no elasticity, and I go from size 10 to 18! OW! How do you get the bloating under control while you're waiting it out? Thanks, Cathy

I take one Pepto Bismol capsule for bloating. Luckily I have not had to take them much since my dx.

Hi C, welcome to the board. Sorry about the bloating and the scar tissue - - ouch! that doesn't sound fun. Just a thought - - I don't know how long you've been gluten-free, but one thing that can also be an issue for Celiacs is dairy - - often we must remove dairy for a few months (as in my case) or sometimes permanently - - dairy can really cause bloat and a painful, hard stomach. I could not figure out why, after being VERY strict and removing all gluten, I looked and felt six months pregnant, but when I removed dairy, this went away completely. And, six months in to my diet, I can eat dairy again - but I don't overdo it.

BTW I never have bloating when glutened.....

Keep reading this board - so mucn info here - - one other thing, I know many people here have other food intolerances as well, so keep that in mind.

Welcome! :)

Susan, can you tolerate Lactose Free milk? And when you say dairy, do you also mean eggs?

Thanks so much for the input...

C, yes, I drink Lactaid, and love it! No problems. And, you can get Lactaid pills. Oh, cheese wasn't really ever a problem (small amounts in teh beginning) and eggs, no problem at all. so, good news!

I just read your little testimony, and wow Susan, you are a trophy of grace! I love hearing stories of people who defy logic and statistics. God holds you up as proof to the world that Love and faith do still win! Way to go.

Thanks again for your suggestions.

Your sister in the Lord,

Cathy

Also look into systemic yeast as a possibility. Candida diet and elimination:

I take Gas X or Phazyme with limited success.

Well God bless you, dear one! So glad you found us. You will learn a lot here, keep reading (will warn you, we've entered a VERY silly phase on this board lately, if you enter some threads you'll think we're all nuts! but, we still address serious issues).

Blessings -

I too have a big problem with gas in the late afternoon. Blouting and uncomfort is terrible as my body reacts to it, I often throw up with lots of air and lots of bubbles. I do have a large hiatal hernia, which I think is the culpret. Pepsid and Asephex doesn't do a thing.

It is getting to the point that I am going to seek information on surgery.

Anyone else been there?

Lisa

      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
