Stinky Gas

Okay. I'm usually no more or less farty than the next person. But lately, I've been an unstoppable machine of farting. Perhaps it is the global energy crisis - I'm subconsciously trying out methane as a form of propulsion (so far I have not been knocked far enough to make it worth exploration). Okay...so I'm making noises...but it is the SMELL that is making me crazy!

So, what has changed in my diet? And here's where I hope to hear comments on what might cause stinky gas.....

1) Amaranth. A seed, not a grain. Eat lots of it. Makes me regular.

2) Pacific Vanilla almond milk. Need something to make the amaranth taste good. Have eaten in quantity before.

3) Tahini. I'm into tahini salad dressings right now. Prior to that I'd only eat this in humus, and only rarely

Honestly, these are the changed items. I feel so good in virtually every way right now - so it is disturbing that I am going around stenching up the planet. Any advice?

Oh yes, I have been taking probiotics when I think of it to help, but can't see every single day.

Don't eat:

grains

beans

dairy

soy

dried fruit

fruit for the most part (had a pear the other day - yum)

brocoli type veggies for the most part

just quit cashews because I read they can cause gas (and are a bean, when I thought they were a seed...insights?)

dead animals for the most part (rarely a 1/2 piece uncured bacon or some buffalo jerkey or something)

Do eat:

salads (lots of them)

tomatoes

avocados

onions

sometimes sweet potato (not too much lately)

Wow. I'm not eating a very varied diet right now. Anyway, please advise. Thanks so much.

It may be the amaranth, seeds give me a problem if I have too much. did you check the almond milk for soy? I've bene having a problem finding a brand w/o it b/c soy gives me gas also.

I always thought that broccolli, brussle sprouts and other veggy's were giving me gas, but when I went gluten free I found it really was the gluten this whol time causeing the prob. I can eat all the broccoli I want now, no problem. The only thing that has been giving me a stinky gas problem is Quinou and potatoes and if I have too much dairy, but still not as bad as a glutening...enough to make me second think about eating it :lol:

Ive noticed I am soooo much less gassy on gluten-free and when I do it isnt so stinky like before.

Anytime you take a pro-biotic it changes your intestinal flora. It could be that randomly taking them is disrupting things a bit and causing the gas.

I'd say 1 or 3 is doing it. Sesame does evil, evil things to me. I went crazy on sesame oil for awhile and had the WORST gas and terrible diarrhea. Later I found out they use it as a laxative in Chinese medicine. Oops!

Okay. I think I'll change the sesame first, since I really appreciate the calories from the amaranth. If that no worky, it is likely the amaranth. Really, I"ve been eating it every day, so it could well be the problem.

I wonder how lectin-y amaranth and sesame are. I have troubles with most lectins, but do alright with walnuts and almonds, but not almond butter or walnut butter in any quantity.

No sesame for one week! (boo hoo)

Cashews?? Cause gas??? I'm amazed at my own inability to sort my symptoms by dietary changes. Yes, I have had lots more smelly gas the last week or so. I thought it was eating more veggies, but I'm also almost halfway down the Costco jar of cashews! Sorry, family.

Well, I don't know about the lectins in various grains, but teff is another one high in protein and fiber (there is ivory teff if you don't like the brown one). Also, green peas are quite high in both fiber and protein as well. A few bowls of pea soup could literally put your daily intake above the RDI.

There's chia seeds, in case you haven't tried those (don't be fooled by ads, as both white and black chia are practically identical in most nutrients). If it was only a food fiber you wanted, coconut is loaded with it.

Yes--cashews! I get really bad gas from cashews, although I shouldn't be surprised since I'm intolerant to legumes.....

Bully--I'll betcha it's the tahini ;)

The tahini, avocado, and cashews are very high in fat content. Are you use to eating fats? I cant since I went gluten free.

I seem good with the fats, for the most part. The stench-fest literally started about the same time I hit the jar of tahini and found amaranth. I don't want it to be the amaranth since I finally have a breakfast I like. I don't want it to be the tahini cause I'm hot for my new salad dressings.

But I will admit this - I think about the tahini like while I'm sleeping...I crave it. That's probably not a good sign. I'm going to quit them both I think for a week and quit farting. Then add one back; then the other. I hate to quit either of them, but I suppose this makes the most sense.

I guess I'll go back to my raw buckwheat "oatmeal" for breakfast every other day (too heavy for every day) and lord knows what...avocado soup maybe...maybe for the others. Any ideas?

      Blood results

      Maybe celiac but maybe NCGS that was misdiagnosed as IBS morphing gradually into celiac. Is NCGS a new category to you? It shares many of the same GI symptoms with celiac disease but does not damage the small bowel lining like celiac.

      Oral thrush question

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine has antifungal properties.  The body uses thiamine to keep bacteria and yeasts from overgrowth in the digestive system.   Fluconazole use can cause thiamine deficiency.   Supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine would be beneficial as Benfotiamine promotes intestinal healing.   Thiamine and the other B vitamins tend to be low in Celiac due to malabsorption.  Talk to your doctor about supplementing vitamins and minerals.

      Nutrient deficiencies despite normal MARSH and strict gluten-free diet

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome @Natalia Revelo, your experience is profoundly difficult and, sadly, not entirely unique within the celiac community. It's the frustrating reality of "silent" or ongoing damage that isn't captured by the MARSH score alone, which only measures active villous atrophy. Your normal biopsy suggests your diet is preventing the classic autoimmune attack, but it doesn't mean your gut has fully healed or that other issues aren't at play. The inflammation from your newly discovered milk and egg allergies is a huge clue; this constant allergic response can create a low-grade inflammatory environment that severely hampers nutrient absorption, effectively creating a "leaky gut" scenario independent of celiac damage. This is likely why your iron stores deplete so rapidly—your body is both unable to absorb it efficiently and may be losing it through inflammation. While the functional medicine path is expensive, it's clearly providing answers and relief that traditional gastroenterology, focused solely on the gluten-free diet and biopsy results, is missing. To move forward, continue the gut-healing protocols your functional doctor recommends (perhaps exploring alternative options to glutamine that won't irritate your cystitis), maintain your strict avoidance of all allergens and irritants, and know that true healing is a multi-faceted process. You might seek a second opinion from a different gastroenterologist who is more knowledgeable about non-responsive celiac disease and the complex interplay of food allergies and micronutrient absorption, but your current path, while costly, seems to be leading you toward the steady health you need.

      Blood results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Have you had a DNA test to look for Celiac disease genes?  If she doesn't have any celiac specific genes, look for another explanation.  If she does have Celiac genes, assume they are turned on and active Celiac disease is progressing.  All first degree relatives (mother, father, siblings, children) should be genetically tested as well.   Sometimes blood tests are ambiguous or false negatives if one has anemia, diabetes or thiamine deficiency.  Certain medications like antihistamines and steroids can suppress the immune system and result in false negatives or ambiguous results on antibody tests.

      That was just the visual report, so need to wait for confirmation or otherwise from the results. They did take a biopsy from the upper end of the duodenum(D1). D2 looked unremarkable on the camera. Just wish we didn’t have to wait so long for the results as she’s naturally a very anxious person. But thanks so much for taking the time to answer me
