Gas And Bad Breath


Oak

Recommended Posts

Oak Newbie

I've got few questions. But first, my story.

I was self-diagnosed with gluten intolerance. I always had a lot of gas and bad breath. I began diet with no gluten and no simple sugars. Flatulance problems was reduced to minimum and my bad breath got better. Breath is not good now, but definitely better. I have no other problems. I can gain weight with no problems, I have no brainfog, joint pains, stomach pain, problems with D or constipation. I am like totally healthy person,but when I'm on normal diet I have flatulance and bad breath.

So there are my questions:

1)Bad breath is not common symptom of celiac disease/gluten intolerance.Do you think that I can be gluten intolerant when I don't have common symptoms?

2)Does anyone has bad breath problems,which dissapeared after going gluten-free?

3)I've got white tongue. I always had. Diet didn't help me with this yet. Tongue is still white. I thought that when I improve my digestion, white coating will dissapear. I can't scrape it off. It don't hurt. I don't have any white patches in mouth also, so I don't think it's oral thrush. Can be white tongue symptom of celiac disease?

PS: I tried also low sugar diet with gluten. When I was sugar-free and gluten-free everything was fine. Then I started to eat gluten(whole grain rolls) for some time, my flatulence went back. Then I cut it out, and flatulance went away.

Thanks a lot

Those were my main symptoms as well.

That I have have Celiac was highly suggested by blood work, and confirmed with a biopsy.

Both of those symptoms went away with going gluten-free, and how I can tell if I ate something with gluten. For me it they also occurred when I tried to eat oats, that were certified gluten free, so I don't eat oats either.

Had symptoms improved immediately after goin gluten-free?

Yes, and they come back right away if I eat something I shouldn't have. (Unfortunately I usually can't tell what the culprit was. It rarely happens, and usually it has been after eating at someone else's house.)

Gas, bloating, white tongue and halitosis can all be indicative of systemic Candida. Certain foods, definitely carbs (sugar, grains and starches), can feed the little beggars.

You may want to add more fruits and veggies to your diet and see if your white tongue disappears.

I used to have a white tongue before going gluten-free, and now it's gone. I don't know if it is related, though...

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
