doing the gluten-free thing and i think its going o k but not great. my first week gluten-free was great but the last 3 or 4 weeks i cant shake the EXTREME GAS my wife and coworkers are getting pissed at me.my bowel movements have improved from big d all the time to somewhat soft ,so i know im doing something right but im still not there yet , i really try to read labels and i dont eat anything that looks like it would be bad . the only thing i havent done is check the shampoo etc...could it be that simple, or should i just start over and cut out dairy and go simple with rice ,potatoes and just the simple stuff.

I'm betting you've become Lactose intolerant - as is often the case in recovering coeliacs.

Try cutting out the dairy for a while to see if it eases the gas :)

Your intestinal bacteria might be all screwed up as well. Do you take probiotics?

I was going to say the same thing Nikki said. Very often after you remove gluten from your diet, you find other sensitivities.

I have found recently, after almost 2 years gluten free that dairy can bring on the big bloat.

Also, the shampoo can be "as simple as that". Dove and Suave are gluten free (there are several others).

My bet is on the dairy. Hope you can work it out and you stop bombing your family and friends. :)

Try going dairy lite or eliminating it for a week and see how your feel. Therein will be your answer.

I had pretty bad gas from dairy and eggs for awhile after going gluten-free. My theory is that before, I wasn't digesting them at all, then once going gluten-free, I was somewhat digesting, and that somewhat wasn't pleasant. I took some Lactaid, and just cut out the eggs for awhile. Finally once I was really healed up, I realized that I could eat these things again. You probably will too. For me, I was reacting so extremely to the eggs that I couldn't have 1 slice of gluten-free bread with eggs in it without regretting it later. I still use Lactaid and lay off the eggs if I've been glutened recently.

Weird, I'm the same way.

If I get glutened, I have to stay away from eggs or else my "exhaust" can do some serious damage - LOL

I would recommend goign dairy and egg free for a few weeks and then slowly add them in.

I had symptoms like that the first several weeks I was gluten free also - I kinda chalked it up to my GI system healing itself. It should go away before too long - mine did.

Dear pnltbox27,

I had to go dairy free myself. I was hoping not to have to exclude it, but that was not the case. I get so bloated! My colon also starts getting grumpy. The gas definitely is caused by dairy. It may be the casein, or the lactose. Just go without it for a while, then add it back in a small amount. I would say go without it for a couple weeks, then eat a Yoplait yogurt and wait a few days to see. You can have a delayed reaction. That is why you should not eat more after that. Otherwise, you will not know if that is what was causing the trouble.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

P.S. After your intestines begin to heal, you may be able to add dairy back.

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
