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...

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
