Bloated And In Pain

I have tried searching and sorry but I just can't find the posts that talk about what will help the bloating. I am not sure what casued it, since I have had a touch of the stomach flu but that was getting better but after taking my night times meds my stomach just went haywire last night. I feel like I am pregs and so much pain. The bloating is up high above the belly button.

Here is what I have already tired:

Slippery elm tea

Peppermint tea

Probotics

Aleo Vera Gel

I am not able to get to the store and my husband is working two jobs so he not able to get there either. If there is anything anybody can think of that I might have on hand that would be awesome. A straight pin to pop my stomach has crossed my mind :lol:

Good deal with what you have tried so far!

Next I would take some baking soda in water. If that isn't enough, an hour later try taking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in water. You can repeat this regime as long as needed. Don't take both vinegar and baking soda at once since otherwise you will fizz!

Do you have any idea why you are feeling this way? Did you eat something wierd? Too much quick carbs or sugar or what? Or do you think its residue of the stomach flue still? I suggest not eating any uncooked veggies or hot spices. I have reacted like that to onions on occasion...

Hi.

I'm so sorry you're hurting. When I get that way (soy for me) I do the baking soda trick (1 1/2 t. in a glass of water) that was mentioned. It doesn't cure, but it does definitely help.

Hope you feel better soon.

Yolo, I am trying to think back to what I ate yesterday but brain fog. The bloating did happent though until just before I went to bed right after I took my night time meds but I know that real doesn't mean too too much. I know we had pasta, peas and pork chops for dinner, but my stomach was feeling ok then.

I will go try the backing soda. I have a question about the apple cider vinger and it may be a dump one. I can't eat apples the make my stomach burn, is the vinger going to do the same?

Thank you for your help.

Jill you and yolo are on the same page. I am going to get the baking soda now. Thank you for the advice.

I don't know about the vinegar. I do know I can't eat apples but can have the vinegar. But my "allergy" or reaction is I think to the fructose since I seem to not handle eating any fruit except lemons and cranberries! However given your sensitivity to apples, maybe don't use the vinegar. Straight lemon juice in water on the other hand might function similarly...without bothering you.

Am wondering if the pork chops were too heavy for you to digest after having the stomach flu. Again the lemon juice would help your digestion. You might investigate using HCL tabs when you have a heavy meat meal... or just take the lemon juice in water...

      Hi! I had my first episode of AFib last May when I was 30 (I have had some heart stuff my whole life but nothing this extreme). I was not diagnosed with celiac until the beginning of this month in October of 2025. I was in the early stages of celiac, so I'm not sure if they were related (maybe!) All of my heart tests came back normal except for my electrolytes (potassium and magnesium) that were low when the AFib occurred. I also became pregnant with our third and last baby a couple weeks after I came back from that hospital stay. I had no heart complications after that whole thing. And I still haven't over a year later. It was definitely scary and I hope it doesn't happen again. I drink an electrolyte drink mix about every day, and I'm sure being on a gluten-free diet will help my body even more! I will pray for you in this. Taking care of our bodies is so challenging but Jesus is with us every step of the way. He cares and He sees you!

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.
