The one way I always know I've been glutened is when the sound of small animals trying to claw their way out of my gut start. Seriously it is really loud. It's always accompanied with a lot of pain too besides the ever annoying gas, bloating, and D. I am pretty good about not ingesting accidental gluten. I check all my labels, but recently I was accidentally glutened by cc and it's the first time since the beginning (about 3 months ago) I've been glutened.

The problem is that this noise is really hard to deal with on top of everything else. Other people can hear it. People ask me if I'm hungry. How do you guys deal with this if you do get glutened? Do you just wait it out? is there something you take for it? I haven't found a gas pill that will really take it away. It usually lasts a few days. I tried a probiotic yesterday thinking maybe somehow it would help, but no it didn't.

I hope I don't get glutened again. I am pretty careful. I guess I am just stuck with this for the next few days :(

I can definately identify with this :D Even as a child I realized that when I ate breakfast before school my tummy would be louder not quieter. By adulthood the constant rumblings were always present and I usually carried a coat or at least a big purse to put on my lap if I was going somewhere quiet. The only thing that stopped the noise was being gluten-free and when glutened like you I deal with the rumbles again for a couple of days. I haven't found anything that will stop them but wanted to let you know your not alone in this. Hopefully someone else will come on with some more helpful advice.

I have this problem too. Like Ravenwood, when I was a child I would eat breakfast (usually cereal) and my stomach would growl in school by mid morning. It was embarassing and I remember trying to tighten up my abdominal muscles in order to try and stop it.

Now, when I get glutened (by CC), I get the rumbling, along with cramping and D.

I don't know how to stop them, only prevent them by being completely gluten-free.

I get this from eggs. Took me a very long time to make the connection. Mostly it would be when I was on vacation and eating differently than at home. Often I would have a muffin or donut because they were free. I thought it was the sugar in them or something that was making me feel so bad.

Then when my daughter was diagnosed with food allergies, I stopped eating eggs. The problem went away. Then I got some egg salad one day and it started up again, followed by my being violently ill.

I can remember it happening at work, but I can't remember what I ate on those days. Could have been boiled eggs or egg noodles or something else with eggs in it.

I just went to the allergist and she said what I have is not an allergy but I clearly can't eat eggs, dairy or almonds without a problem.

Again more sympathy.....I have the same issue. It is so much better now that I have been gluten free for over a year, but that is my telltale sign that I have been glutened. It sometimes happens when I consumer dairy as well. I do take a probiotic daily as a way to maintain balance in my gut. That seems to help.

Mine does it too, on a regular basis (I'm not gluten free - yet). My family members say things like "the aliens are talking again" or "are you hungry already?" (just depends on who it is).

The most horrifying incident was when I was in a staff meeting, and my boss finished talking about one subject, and was in that dead silence before beginning the next subject........"grblglgrlrohl" (or something like that). Thankfully it was right before lunch and I was able to play it off - but it wasn't because I was hungry!

I feel for ya too!

It always happens at the worst time doesn't it?

It really does!

I just remembered another horrifying incident, but this one is really funny, looking back. I was mortified at the time.

My daughter was probably 3 or so, and we were at a restaurant........she hears the grumblies and mistakes it for something else. At the top of her lungs "Oh my gosh mommy did you just FART?!" :lol:

Yeah, I get these too. I am really dreading having to sit in a very quiet place with someone, or in class.

I get this, but not from gluten. I get it when I eat beans. We've established that beans are not allowed on work nights..............

That must explain my own recent grumblings this week.

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.

      Because you have already had the "gold standard" test done, and because you have some experiential evidence that removing gluten from your diet causes you to feel better, it would make sense to begin the gluten-free diet as you wait for biopsy results.
