Happy Tummy :) And I'm Happy.

Good Morning.

Have been trying gluten free for the past 5 days. So far it is brilliant! Tummy is much happier and though I am still feeling really tired, also no nausea. Am also on acid blockers now (have 1 month prescription), so that would be helping with the reflux and hyperacidity.

Is it usual to have such a rapid response? This seems almost too good to be true...

Regardless of what my results say I am sticking with this...

Have a great day! I am. :)

Yes! It can definitely happen that quickly, although it can be anywhere from days to weeks, to months for some people. It just depends.

For me it was like somebody flipped a switch. Literally within a day or two. It sounds so odd and unreal to look back on all those years of suffering when the answer was so close.

I'm so glad you and your tummy are feeling better. :D

i had a few really good days maybe 4-5 then got a few bad days and then went back to good. but I eliminated the processed food after my setback and that kept it brief i believe. Way to go on feeling better, its the best knowing that your diet is 'fixing' you and not some pill :)

congrats on the progress!

Yep, it's possible. Like Nantzie said, I felt like someone had "flipped a switch" and felt noticeably better on the second day and even better after that. I had some rough days every once in a while for a few months, but I think that was more due to still being glutened occasionally.

Congrats on feeling better!

Absolutely it is possible to have such a rapid response. Your body is saying thank you, thank you , thank you. Keep it up and keep us updated. I took a stomach/reflux medicine for the first couple of weeks on the diet but didn't need it after that as the diet took care of everything. Good luck.

Congrats on feeling better!! My tummy problems also went away within a week. I am still struggling with tiredness (it's been 2ish months), but it's much better than it was. YAY!

Happy to hear you are doing better, too. I used to have constant pain, and it ended within a few days. It has been 3 months and I would never turn back. Keep up the good work.

I'm glad that you're feeling better. I started feeling better right away too. Of course I have messed that up by eating a piece of cake yesterday. But, never again. Pain is not something I enjoy.

Congrats! I'm happy you're feeling better. I, too, felt immediately better for about a month. Then I got sick and felt awful again, but still better than I was pre-gluten-free. You will probably still have some bad days, but hopefully they'll be few and far between.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated. So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly. I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm...

      @trents thank you! I have only been taking 20mg 1x a day. Maybe I need to increase it.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
