Morning Digestion

I was diagnosed a few months ago and am still having horrible stomach cramps in the morning. It doesn't seem to matter what I eat. I have tried a variety of gluten-free food with no luck. I have even tried not eating in the am and have still experienced stomach problems.

Does anyone else experience more digestive symptoms/pain in the morning? Also, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you

Are you certain you are not getting ANY gluten from anywhere?

Old scratched pots and pans, wooden spoons, cutting boards, toaster, etc.

Lotions, shampoo, lipstick, etc.

Cross Contamination from others that use your kitchen or at work?

Eating out?

If you are certain that there is no way gluten is getting in, then you may have to eliminate dairy (for a few months while your villi heal). Most celiacs are intolerant to dairy because the tips of the villi secrete an enzyme to help digest dairy. So you have to heal first. Some celiacs find they are intolerant to dairy forever. You will have to experiment.

But for now make sure NO GLUTEN. And then eliminate dairy for awhile and see if this helps. For most it does.

I don't even TRY to eat in the morning anymore - for years actually.

Wish I had some suggestions.

I can't eat rich foods in the morning, I think when we first wake up our metabolism is very slow and may cause digestive problems. Later on in the day I have no problems, I think just in the AM it's something to do with our metabolic rate or level of stomach acid.

IMO you should not eat any grains in the morning. Heck I think grains are not good for you anytime. First thing in the morning I would have fresh fruit & water only. maybe watered down 100% welch's grape juice. If you can handle it, eggs, & ham or bacon or last nights left overs.

I personally gave up on breakfast, when I realized that for me it was healthier to wait until 11:00a.m. & have an early lunch. Nothing to do with digestion but just made me feel better. For me a little mini fast from dinner until 11:00a.m. the next day works perfectly. It is not for everyone...

Are you drinking coffee?

I don't eat much in the morning either. Maybe a banana, apple Lara bar, or soy yogurt.

      @DebJ14, You said "husband has low platelets, bruises easily and gets bloody noses just from Fish Oil  He suggested he take Black Cumin Seed Oil for inflammation.  He discovered that by taking the Black Seed oil, he can eat carbs and not go into A Fib, since it does such a good job of reducing inflammation."   I don't think black seed oil is lowering inflammation.  It's lowering blood glucose levels. Black cumin seed lowers blood glucose levels.  There's a connection between high blood glucose levels and Afib.    Has your husband been checked for diabetes?   Must Read: Associations of high-normal blood pressure and impaired fasting glucose with atrial fibrillation https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36750354/

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Healthy Omega Three fats.  Olive oil or flaxseed oil, oily fish, fatty cuts of meat.   Our bodies run much better on burning fats as fuel.  Diets based on carbohydrates require an increased amount of thiamine to process the carbs into fuel for the body.  Unfortunately, thiamine mononitrate is used to enrich rice.  Thiamine mononitrate is relatively unusable in the body.  So a high carb diet can further decrease thiamine stores in the body.  Insufficient thiamine in the body causes the body to burn body fat and muscle for fuel, so weight loss and muscle wasting occurs.  Those extra carbohydrates can lead to Candida (often confused with mold toxicity) and SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).   Losing weight quickly is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  Muscle wasting is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.  I lost sixty pounds in a month.   Having difficulty putting weight on and keeping it on is a symptom of thiamine insufficiency.   The AIP diet works because it eliminates all grains and grasses, rice, quinoa, all the carbs.  Without the carbs, the Candida and SIBO get starved and die off.  Easy way to change your microbiome is to change what you feed it.  With the rowdy neighbors gone, the intestine can heal and absorb more nutrients.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals is beneficial.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  The eight B vitamins are water soluble, so if you don't need them, they can be gotten rid of easily.   Night shades are excluded on the AIP diet.  Potatoes, tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are not allowed on the AIP diet.  They contain alkaloids that promote "a leaky gut".  Benfotiamine can help here. Sweet potatoes are avoided because they contain thiaminases, chemicals that break thiamine so that the body cannot use it.   The AIP diet has helped me.

      Is this celiac?

      The reaction one gets when they get glutened varies a lot from person to person.  This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      A gluten ingestion can last for many months.  Many years ago there was a celiac conference in Fl.  Everyone there got contaminated with some having difficulty 6 months to recover.  It will hit your Lympatic system and spread  through the body and effect your nevous system as well. Most times when I get glutened it is from a prescription med that wasn't checked close enough.  the Pharmacuticals change vendors all the time.
