Noisy Gut

I'm relatively new, so excuse me if this has been covered before.

My gut make the most horrendous noises lateley. I was DX right before thanksgiving, and have tried to be as gluten-free as can be. No D/C, vomiting, or greater feeling of ickyness. Seems to be really bad when I lay down at night. I hope I don't wake the neighbors! But the noises have occured at all times, on empty stomach or shortly after eating. Anyone else experience this or am I just weird?

I don't think you are hearing things. My stomach tends to make a lot of noise on occassions and I never noticed it prior to being gluten free. Mind you I did not notice many things then, I thought everything that was wrong with me, was just me and got on with it.

I don't know about you, and it is a possibility, but my stomach gets noisier when I have accidently been eating gluten.

That used to happen to me all the time. It was so loud that my husband would look at me and we would wonder what was going on in there. When I get glutened I immediately get this whistling/whining noise from in there. That is usually my first symptom that I have eaten something with gluten- it happens after a bite or two.

It takes a while for your system to heal and also for you to get the hang of the diet. My noise issue quieted down after being gluten-free, I really don't remember when exactly it went away but I don't have the problem anymore.

People used to stop to laugh at my gut during meetings. All of us sitting around a conference table, someone talking with the hum of powerpoint going, and then everybody laughing and looking in my direction as the howling proceeded. Sounded like a pack of wolves living down in there (and hurt too!).

At some point, I think maybe two or three months or so (I can't really remember now for sure, but it took a while) gluten free, the sounds started to diminish and are almost entirely gone now, 11 months into the gluten free diet. At this point, if it gurgles, it's quick and quiet and I'm usually the only one that hears it.

When I eat something that doesn't agree with me, gluten for example, my innards make all kinds of gurgling noises. It's more noticeable at night.

I lived with this all my life till I went gluten-free. Now it is one of the first indications that I have gotten gluten somewhere, even the smallest amount of CC in a food or non food item will do this.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
