The Bloat Has Got To Go!

diagnosed a month ago...went gluten free for 3 weeks and then decided to go casein and soy free as well. I'm a marathoner, so I started taking glutamine after my workouts b/c read that exercise could be lowering that amino acid and messing with my digestive system. I also started taking a digestive enzyme and acidol,,,s bacteria stuff. It is like clock work...around 4pm my stomach starts churning and gas bubbles start spawning whether I've eaten anything recently or not...and it lasts all night. My stomach looks distended and lately it's even still there in the morning when i wake up. I have noticed after doing all of this that my stools are much harder, but that's the only difference. Still have the horrible bloat. Do you guys think that i could have further food intolerances or does the leaky gut thing cause gas until it's healed??? And why does it start up at the same time everyday??? I have a rock hard flat stomach that I work so hard on and b/c of the bloat I never get to enjoy it.

A few of us have had some success with Neem for bloating:

Thanks, I"m going to give it a try. Is it okay to take with digestive enzymes and glutamine? Also, I'm running a marathon in 2 weeks. Should I wait to start this afterwords, since it could be doing damage control for a little while??? Not sure what would be worse, that or the bloat :)

Anytime you add a new supplement to your routine, the outcome can be unpredictable, so YES wait until after your marathon. Take them when you do not have to be somewhere important. A nice relaxing weekend. For me, the bloat got a little worse for about 2 -3 days and more D. But then it started getting better and eventually went away. Now I only bloat if I eat a lot of cabbage or something else gassy.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
