Bloating & Distension

[dollamasgetceliac?]

I've been teated positive for celiac, and even though I try to be gluten-free as much as possible (99.999%!) there is an occasional mishap where I get glutened. . The problem now is that I have been having a extremely disdended stomach, and I feel like a blimp. . The GI Dr. says its IBS.(Instant BS I say!)

HALP

im just as round as this smiley ->

I tried not eating much today and I still got bloated, then I was starving, so I ate the whole turkey leg, so that does not help. i was too sick to make veggie soup.

If anybody has any quick suggestions it would be gr8tly appreciated.

Thanx

Have you eaten anything different? Or more than usual of something you usually only eat a little of? Keep a food diary or at least good mental notes. Hopefully you'll notice something.

Tell you doctor you didn't pay to find out your bowel was irritated. You already know that. You paid to find out what was causing the irritation!

I never see anyone mention bile, but if you google "celiac bile", it's a common thing to not have enough bile excreted during digestion. I have a supplement that has pig bile, betaine HCl (acid) and various enzymes, and it really helps with the bloating.

PS- I love llamas too! I live right down the street from a llama and alpaca farm.

Cinnamon that is interesting. I test as having very low levels of bile.

Probiotics can help as well.

Are you also constipated? Magnesium may help things move along.
