I am 5'7 and 97 lbs but my stomach sticks out so bad all the time that I look pregnant! I've been gluten free for about a week I think I've noticed a little improvement but not much and the gas is still really bad. Is there anything else I can do or do I have to just wait it out?

I hate to say it, but you just have to wait it out. But while you are waiting, check and recheck every product you consume or use on your body. Cosmetics, toothpaste, lotions, foods, drinks, etc. You may find something you didn't realize contained gluten.

Try gluten free digestive enzymes with your meals. It helps some.

Also possible to help: quit or diminish sugar. If you've got yeast overgrowth in your intestines, this might help. Also, dairy might be exacerbating your problems. Try giving that up (if you haven't already). These two things helped me - I have a flat tummy now, after about 28-30 years of having preggers belly. Good luck.

and try to determine if you're lactose intolerant. distended abdomen and lots of gas are very classic signs of lactose intolerance.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
