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.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By trents · Posted

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?
