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.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours. I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne. Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body. Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body...

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours.  I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body.   Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body, there are mast cells spreading histamine which causes inflammation.  Foods also contain histamine or act as histamine releasers.  Our bodies have difficulty clearing histamine if there's too much.  Following the low histamine AIP diet allows your body time to clear the excess histamine we're making as part of the autoimmune response, without adding in extra histamine from foods.  High histamine foods include eggs, processed foods and some citrus fruits.  The AIP diet allows meat and vegetables.  No processed meats like sausage, luncheon meats, ham, chicken nuggets, etc. No night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant).  No dairy.  No grains.  No rice.  No eggs.  No gluten-free processed foods like gluten free breads and cookies.  No nuts.  No expensive processed gluten-free foods.  Meat and vegetables.  Some fruit. Some fruit, like applesauce, contains high levels of fructose which can cause digestive upsets.  Fructose gets fermented by yeasts in the gastrointestinal tract.  This fermentation can cause gas, bloating and abdominal pain.   The AIP diet changes your microbiome.  Change what you eat and that changes which bacteria live in your gut.  By cutting out carbohydrates from grains and starchy veggies like potatoes, SIBO bacteria get starved out.  Fermenting yeasts get starved out, too.  Healthy bacteria repopulate the gut.   Thiamine Vitamin B 1 helps regulate gut bacteria.  Low thiamine can lead to SIBO and yeast infestation.  Mast cells release histamine more easily when they are low in Thiamine.  Anxiety, depression, and irritability are early symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  A form of thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Thiamine works with the seven other B vitamins.  They all need each other to function properly.   Other vitamins and minerals are needed, too.  Vitamin D helps calm and regulate the immune system. Thiamine is needed to turn Vitamin D into an active form.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Taking a B Complex and additional Benfotiamine is beneficial.  The B vitamins are water soluble, easily lost if we're not absorbing nutrients properly as with Celiac Disease.  Since blood tests for B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate, taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and magnesium Threonate, and looking for health improvements is a better way to see if you're insufficient.   I do hope you will give the low histamine AIP diet a try.  It really works.
