Gut Gurggling

I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago after YEARS of searching for answers. I witnessed my parents go thru all I did. They have been dead for 8 years and they never knew. Now I know that all of their flatulence, belching, etc. were Celiac symptoms...poor dears. Now I suffer at age 60 from the same. The difference is I now know the reason...in addition to Celiac I have immune antibodies to soy, dairy, casein and eggs! I just want to know, how long until all the gurggling stops?? I hate it. It's so loud that my lap dog barks at it and runs to the front door. Can anyone tell me how they handle this? Are there any remedies? And, how long till the villi heal? :o

At your age, it could take up to two years for the villi to completely heal. You may have some permanent damage, as I am sure I do.

Two weeks isn't very long. I am sure the gurgling will stop soon.

I was sick about 7 years. My stomach noises were getting worse. About a week after I went gluten-free I realized that I had gone through an entire day without "feeling" my stomach. It was amazing. I haven't had any of those problems since (about 3months) unless I inadvertently ate somthing bad.

Give it a couple of years.

In the meantime, if you buy a good probiotic, like Digestive Advantage for Irritable Bowel... that stuff helped me quite a bit... I just recently got to the point where I could stop taking the stuff... (just over 2 years gluten free... 54 years old)... it didn't make it all well, but it helped a whole lot.

I tried Culturelle one time; it's expensive and that stuff made me WORSE... so... anyway, the Digestive Advantage IBS is gluten free, cheap, (6.99 for a one-month supply in my area), and it helped me get through the first couple of years.

That's all I know to tell you... it does take time.

I am 44 and had been undiagnosed for over 11 years, I have been gluten-free for 4 mo. and I still get slight stomach gurgling, especially at night. I have found these have lessoned in intensity over time. I think you just need longer to heal. You will be surprised at the other symptoms that clear up as well!

I find that candy peppermints are soothing.

I have always had a loud stomach. I have been gluten free for over four months now and my tummy noises are not any different than what they used to be, so - at least in my case - the stomch/digestive noises don't appear to be related to my autoimmune reaction to gluten. I'd suggest maybe more meals each day - perhaps smaller than usual - to keep your digestive system in constant activity. Don't let yourself get too hungry and try to eat your meals at ther same time each day. Also read up on foods that can cause excess gas and try to avoid those. I think some of us are just 'burdened with a noisy digestive system - there are worse things to suffer from! And always remember, too, that being able to hear your gut working is a good sign - it's much much better than the alternative.

I find that the stomach noises are indication that I have been glutened or have eaten soy..

They are very annoying and loud, but in a sense I am thankful for them...because they are my bodies first warning system...

I do get low rumbling in between , but when I have been glutened or I am in for a reaction from something...the stomach yells loud and clear.. not to go further in eating a certain thing.

And then continues to grumble throughout , it's very very annoying... but like i said "its a great warning system"

      Still unsure.....

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Be sure to be eating gluten daily until all of your celiac disease tests are completed (at least 2 slices worth of wheat bread per day for at least 6-8 weeks before any blood tests, and 2 weeks before an endoscopy).

      4 Years and very little progress

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @maylynn, No, I took over the counter thiamine supplements, thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  My doctors were not very knowledgeable about nutrition and vitamins, and they missed my symptoms being connected to vitamin deficiencies.  I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.  My doctors just prescribed pharmaceuticals to cover the symptoms of poor health due to malabsorption of nutrients. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, physically active, emotionally stressed and work outside in hot weather.  Thiamine works in concert with the other B vitamins, so all should be supplemented together.  Vitamin D needs to be activated by thiamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.   Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because it is not bioavailable.  The body has difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.   Do keep us posted on your progress!

      @knitty kitty Did they give you medication for the Thiamine? I have never heard of that and have never related to symptoms more. My energy is always SO low. Zero drive to get anything done or work out. I used to love being on the go and being active. I am heading to the doctor next week so I will make sure to bring this up! Thank you so much!

      @trents I have had another scope done since being diagnosed. The only thing they told me at that time was my body seems to be healing very well and to continue what I was doing. At that time, I had only been diagnosed 2 years so it may be a possibility that it was healing then but not now maybe. I think you're right that it's about time one was done! I will be bringing that up to my doctor at my apt. next week. Thank you for the suggestions with food. I have tried diary so far. Seems to not be the issue (luckily!). Will have to try the others!

      Thank you so much for the advice, Scott. I am going back to the doctors next week to get more blood work done. The only thing they recommended me to take so far has been two shots of liquid iron in the morning to keep my iron levels high. What supplements or vitamins have worked for you? I never physically feel my celiac symptoms, unless I got cross contamination which I feel has only happened a handful of times in the last four years. When I eat it feels so different than my celiac. Which makes me wonder if it is another food like you suggested. Has anyone ever had issues with meat? I feel like I can snack and snack until it is a full meal, usually including meat. Could that be an allergy or just my gut not digesting well from the celiac? These are all things I am wanting to bring up to my doctor next week but hearing from other people with the same disease beforehand makes me feel less crazy about all of my stomach issues! Thank you again! I will check out the article.
