Bathroom time and about 4 imodiums works for me - 2 to start then another one or two as needed later (apparently I am the only one I know of that it does't mess me up for DAYS). I just seems to amke me a little closer to normal.

nope, nothing much stops it for me, but coughing probably isn't going to help much, in that it will just tense up other abdominal muscles that won't necessarily be good for you in the long run (something I've learned the hard way, having under-treated cough-variant asthma). eh... it's fairly 'normal' body noises (in a little more than normal quantity/volume, at this point ;) )

Some intestinal sounds are normal. If they are real loud, perhaps eating several smaller meals and make sure they are gluten free always. I have had this disease for a very long time and was finally diagnosed in 1976. I had many loud intestional noises and pain, plus many other symptoms as you will know from your own experience with this disease. I have it under control by eating smaller meals; always gluten free; I get plenty of rest; try and stay away from anything caffeinated ,especially soda pop. I am looking for a Celiac that has had a Whpple Operation with a diagnosis of Adencarcinoma. Thank you

A few people on here have suggested Digestive Enzymes, which i might try. I will say that L-Glutamine (e free form of natural amino acids) supplements are working great to repair the damage that has been done to my intestinal tract ;)

I was just reading that Dr. Fine likes (and recommends) Culturelle - which is Lactobacillus. :)

Hi K2D,

After having bad reactions to prescription and over the counter medicines, I now believe in natural ways. I've found a little warm beverage at the end of each meal helps in digestion. It keeps any oils and stuff from getting hard or sludgey before they have a chance to go thru the intestines. It kind of helps things to keep right on moving.

My tummy is like a load speaker when I have been been unfortunate to get ahold of the dreaded gluten or when I have to hurry up and eat. No one really wants to just drink warm water so I put a little mint extract (non-alcoholic) or Celestial Seasons pepermint tea bag in it. That will calm the tummy and keep things going smoothly. It might help you. If it is in the evening I also add Chamomile to help relax me so the grumbley bear goes away. L-Glutamin as Irish Kelly said also helps. I do that too.

This is a great group of people with pretty darn good ideas that show someone out there cares. I'll keep my fingers crossed that at least one of them will work for you.

Oh, my gurgling tummy has put me in SUCH embarrassing situations! It likes to gurgle in symphony concerts--ALWAYS at the softest moments. I dread pianissimos....

      Thank you for the kind words!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes...

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      Help! My 5 year old daughter just stopped eating dairy and gluten due to her EoE and Celiac. Her favorite candy in the world is tootsie rolls. I did some research, and it sounds like these are the only options for finding something similar, but I can't find them anywhere to actually purchase. Have they been discontinued?? Does anyone have another recommendation...

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.
