Question About Gluten-free Diet...concerns

I started the gluten-free diet about a week ago. Though I improved in that I'm no longer experiencing stomach cramps, I have noticed that I still get that 'burning' sensation in my gut after eating certain foods, like onions or soda for instance. Also, before the gluten free diet, I was prone to diarrhea and frequent BMs...and now I'm a bit more on the constipated side, which is strange...

I'm a bit confused as to what these things could mean.

I go back to the gastro in a few weeks, but there isn't an earlier appointment and I'm not sure who to ask about this.

Any advice/tips would be helpful.

Thanks!

I too am new to diagnosis and being gluten free (a couple of weeks now.) I too have improved significantly - so much so I can tell if I have been accidentally glutened. I am also on the constipated side, and I also get that burning sensation in my stomach. Overall things have improved in a very short period of time, I think a lot of it is just about the body healing - and then the body learning how to respond after its healed. You are definitely not alone, hang in there :)

      Gluten found in Bob's Red Mill TVP using Elisa Technology test

      By Janet McAlpin · Posted

      Will do! Here are some other test results from the last few days using the Elisa Technologies tests. All of these products tested Gluten Free, ( or more accurately, under 10ppm)  - Teddies crunchy Peanut Butter  - Philosopher Foods Sprouted Almond Butter - Jacobsen Salt Co Black Garlic Ginger Salt

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes, it is important to get 25OHD blood and PTH tested and monitored.  My doctor tests me 4 times a year along with homocysteine and the other blood panels.  Massive vitamin D doses under a doctors care can raise vitamin D level quickly, but those doses wear off in about three months, so either sun or supplementation needs to be instituted in order to not lose the gain.  There have been numerous clinical trials on kidney transplant patients with doses as high a 1.5million IU with no ill effects.  But those are a one time bolus under the care of doctors.  One conumdrus of these really high  dose supplements is a higher incidence of falls.  The answer is that the patient feels so good, they are more active than usual before regaining strength and balance.

      Yes, 50k IU daily would be an a short term front end loading dose for those having critically low levels but you wouldn't want to take it for an extended period.

      That's 20ppm, not 20,000 ppm. https://www.fda.gov/food/nutrition-education-resources-materials/gluten-and-food-labeling "The rule specifies, among other criteria, that any foods that carry the label “gluten-free,” “no gluten,” “free of gluten,” or “without gluten” must contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten."
