Bloat Advice?

Hello,

My stomach bloating went down significantly since going gluten free a month ago. I've been eating corn and rice daily, but did buy soy milk for my cereal. Other than switching from regular milk, I've been eating yogurt and cheese quite often and just seem to have a little burping going on, but livable.

I bought a B12 Instant Dissolve Methylcobalamin vitamin supplent 2 days ago and started taking it yesterday morning. My stomach felt queezy and I layed down for a little while because of it. When I woke up I seemed to have more energy and felt better than I had in weeks.

The ingredients in the B12 state: B6 , B12, Folic Acid, Stevia Leaf Extract. Other ingredients are Lactose, Natural cherry Flavor and Acacia Gum.

2 questions I have are:

Would the lactose in this vitamin be much stronger than that in yogurt and cheese and possibly cause me to bloat?

Would the sublingual B12 supplment make me feel better that fast? (or is that just coincidence?)

No, lactose in pills is a really, really tiny amount.

If you are B12 deficient, possibly

Momma Goose,

I just wanted to tell you, I went dairy free yesterday and my stomach is flatter this morning. I think the first couple weeks I was being real careful and avoiding most dairy. But then I started eating yogurt and cheese daily. I think that was it! Thanks! :D

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
