Gas...how To Know The Difference?

So, now that I have been diagnosed, how do I know if when I get gas, it is just plain old gas, or from the celiac?

I mean, I have had gas my entire life, and always thought it was normal, and I would guess some amount is normal...so when do i know? I had beans yesterday, and had gas last night...I don't think I had any gluten...so was it from the beans?

Also..how long would something be in your body before you feel the effects? Could it have been from something the day before..or would it have been from something I ate 30 min prior?

hope this makes sense.

Thanks!!

Over time I have been able to realize the difference. Sad part is, this is trial and error for everyone. You will learn what your body is telling you. My actual lessons came from getting gluten (accidentially) and learning how my system reacts. If I get a larger amount of gluten I have D within 30 minutes for about 30 minutes and then all symptoms are gone. If I get trace amounts of gluten I do not react at all.

I rarely get gas anymore. Used to be I had the most foul farts! Due to having celiac and numerous food sensitivities.

Now if I do have a problem and its not due to CC from gluten, it usually is with eating too much carbohydrate and/or sugar due to candida overgrowth sprouting up again... If it is an allergy taking some baking soda in water helps. If its candida, taking some drops of grapefruit seed extract in a glass of water helps...and/or oregano oil capsules or the oil rubbed on my wrists and neck, caprylic acid, garlic, acidophilus etc.

I no longer have gas unless something is agravating my system. That can be gluten in that case I get D. Or it can be too much alternate grain, in that case I have C. When eating the way I should, I have no gassy episodes.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly.   Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO?   Are you taking any Benfotiamine?  Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO.  Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...

      From my own experience and that of others who have tried to discontinue PPI use, I think your taper down plan is much too aggressive. It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound is real. If I were you I would aim at cutting back in weekly increments for two weeks at a time rather than daily increments. So, for instance, if you have been taking 2x20mg per day, the first week cut that down to 2x20mg for six days and 1x20 mg for the other day. Do that for two weeks and then cut down to 2x20mg for five days and 1x20 for two days. On the third week, go 20x2 for four days and 20x1 for 3 days. Give yourself a week to adjust for the reduced dosage rather than reducing it more each week. I hope this makes sense.

      Talk to your doctor about switching to an antihistamine, and supplementing essential vitamins and minerals.  Dietary changes (low carb/paleo) may be beneficial for you.  Have you talked to a dietician or nutritionist about a nutrient dense gluten free diet?   It's harder to get all the vitamins needed from a gluten free diet.  Gluten containing products are required to be enriched or fortified with vitamins and minerals lost in processing.  Gluten free facsimile processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified.  So we have to buy our own vitamin supplements.   Glad to be of help.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      I’m pretty sure they do. I have been on myfortic, tacrolimus since 2021 for my liver transplant and added prednisone after kidney transplant.  I’m going to try to cut back omeprazole to 20 mg a day and then after a week try to stop altogether. Thank you for your help.
