What Is Normal

Thank you all for your help so far.

1.) Is it normal to have some setbacks (stomach pain) while you are healing even if you haven't take in Gluten. Been having 2 goods days then 1 bad. Have eaten mostly white rice and grilled chicken/ground lean beef.

2.) What is considered diahrrea? After researching I am even more confused? Not trying to be a wise guy, but the term loose stools?

3.) Anyone else have stomach growls while healing?

Once a coworker told me I have the loudest stomach on record. I joke about it now. My stomach just makes a lot of noise. :P

Your system will settle down once you are gluten-free for a few months. Then you will see what is normal for you.

When I officially went gluten free I had really bad stomach pains the first month even though I was not consuming any gluten. While your healing you do go through A LOT of stuff...stomach pains, mood swings, aches and pains the list goes on. It does get better so hang in there, give it some time.

Good Luck :)

It can take a while to heal and to ferret out all the gluten sources that can sneak in. For me stomach growling is directly connected to gluten. It will tell me loudly within a couple hours that I am in for a couple of rough days. My tummy growled so much since childhood that I stopped eating in the morning before I went to school in grammar school. Most folks tummies would growl when hungrey, mine would growl AFTER I ate. It took a few months for the noises to stop gluten-free but stop they did. The most helpful thing for me after being gluten-free for the stomach pain was Pepto Bismal, it works for me in one dose for the pain. Don't know if it is something you may want to try but figured I would mention it.

It's possible your tummy/system (it's actually your intestines gurgling most likely) doesn't like heavy carbs like rice/potato/bread. Could you try having your meat with a salad for a few days and see if that helps? (Salad w/o any dried fruit or croutons or high sugar/starch things.) Or some cooked veggies (not corn or potato or squash)?

I don't do well on rice at all. I know for lots of folks it's a comfort tummy food; but it bugs my digestive system.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
