Bloating

Anyone here only had the symptom of severe bloating? When I say severe, I look 5 months pregnant. Doc wants me to do a gluten free diet, but I just don't think I have a gluten issue. How long does it take to notice a difference when you stop eating gluten? I haven't had gluten in two days and the bloating has not improved one bit. I can barely eat because of the pressure on my stomach. I have normal bowel movements. Have never noticed that I get sick after eating anything in particular. No other gastro problems.

Would really appreciate any advice or info.

Thanks!

Hi, I suffer from bad bloating too. Excluding gluten from my diet really helped and the swelling receded after about 4-5 days. It is worth you perserveing with the diet to see if it works for you. Just be aware of gluten creeping into loads of products as I got painfully cought out a couple of times.

Initially bloating was my only (major) symptom, along with occasional diarrhea, which I guess was why I was able to tolerate it for so long, even though the bloating was so bad to make me pass out sometimes. GasEx was my friend. It was not until I developed the rheumatoid arthritis and the psoriasis that I woke up to gluten. I had thought it was corn that was doing me in (well that does too, and so does soy which is substituted for gluten in a lot of gluten free products). So don't think that bloating is a minor issue. Ignore it at your risk. I did not improve a lot until I eliminated both corn and soy as well (I had already eliminated lactose, having diagnosed myself as lactose intolerant many years before).

Keep a food diary and figure out what gives you the bloating. But I think I would follow your doctor's advice. I just wish someone had told me to stop eating gluten!

Thanks for your comments. The problem is, that my bloating does not go away. I have had constant bloating for 6 days straight. Have already lost 3 lbs, because it makes it so hard to eat. Was this the case for anyone, that their bloating did not go away? I wake up with it and go to sleep with it.

Thanks.

My bloating was intermittent initially, following consumption of certain foods (on reflection), but gradually became constant making it difficult to force myself to eat because there was no room for food in there :lol: And I couldn't sleep because the bloating caused a pounding, racing heart and if I did get to sleep I had terrible nightmares. I have had this happen since going "gluten free" when I did not realize a medication I was taking contained gluten and it took me a while to figure out how I was being glutened. Duh!

The same thing happens to me, too, although I'm not completely sure I have Celiac yet. I also look about 5 months pregnant, it's a little weird, but I also get a lot of pain and cramps...

The bloating has still not subsided. I finally go see the gastro tomorrow, but besides the bloating no other digestive symptoms. Been gluten-free for two weeks and feel so off. Exhausted, bad balance, feel stupid. So hope the doc says that he thinks that gluten isn't the issue and eat as much as I want.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
