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. :blink: . The GI Dr. says its IBS.(Instant BS I say!)

HALP

im just as round as this smiley -> :huh:

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 :D

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.

:lol: 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! :ph34r:

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.

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
