Feeling Bad Again

I know that I have not eaten anything with gluten in it. I am not currently eating anything that is even considered gluten free... I eat a few yougurts and then by the end of the night my whole body is sore. I had to do a stool sample a while back so I am sure they would of told me if I had candida. I am just at my wits end here. I have tried to be so careful now I am wondering if this is lactose / candida problem beccause my pain on my lower right side is mostly gone but I get really sore all over after eating certain things like yogurt ( yoplait) and I had a few sodas.

I guess I will have to try to cut out sugar now and any type of milk product. Does anyone else in here have symptoms like this where you seem to hurt all over? I had ANA tests for other auto immune dieseases and doc said those were all in line. April 14th will be my 9 month anniversary gluten-free but not seeing tons of improvement.

Thinking of buying three lac for fighting candida...I heard that can make you feel really crummy and it does seem to happen after eating sugar or anything that converts to it.

I would begin a food diary. Keep track of everything and it might render some culprits. Dairy can also mimic the gluten experience. Try to give it up for a while and see if you improve.

well lactose issues are common with celiac disease, even after the gluten is stopped it takes a while for lactose/milk issues to resolve but from my research it seems that they usually do resolve for many people. that being said you might just also have a casein issue. maybe supplemental enzymes will help you but unless you can find some one that specializes in that stuff it might just be trial and error. i know i was told i had a sensitivity to a protein in milk and was given digestive enzymes, i have taken them for a few years now and they seem to help some over all, but i dont seem to have any issues with dairy any more. i also take a gluten digestion just to make sure i have some help if i get glutened and even when im eating 100% gluten-free it helps my digestion and i take another supplement that is licorice based IIRC which also helps.

if it was me i would try not eating it for a while and see if your symptoms clear and if they do then you can try eating it again to see if you have issues

hope you can figure it all out

I'm glad you posted this. I was "diagnosed" with Celiac Disease in February. My doctor couldn't give me a full diagnosis, because he's a jackass, and me and my pcp believe that I caught it pretty early. I had only a few symptoms, but they were severe. I had abdominal pain that would send me to the ER and extreme fatigue and irritibility. I have been gluten free ever since, but recently I have started having abdominal pain coming back. I was hoping to get away with just being gluten free. You see people on this site who are gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free and all this other stuff. I think having Celiac disease does make your body more vulnerable to sensitivity. Dairy is a common one. I have actually started weeding out dairy because of the pain coming back. If you noticed it was yogurt, then you should consider going dairy free.

I agree with everyone that a dairy free trial could be beneficial to you. I would totally eliminate it for at least a month, diligently reading labels for casein, whey, lactose etc. and seeing if that helps. A food journal also helps keep track to see if anything else may be bothering you such as soy, fructose, etc. It was well worth it for me. Hope you feel better soon!

I would have to agree with everybody and stop the dairy products. I had to about 4 months after going gluten free, funny thing is only thing I can eat is yougurt and at times it is the only thing that will calm my stomach that and peanut butter. I do not understand the why those two things work for me sometimes but they do. If anybody can tell me I would love to know.

Good luck and hang in there.

edumicated guess, i would bet its because its a lot of protein but in a pretty easy to digest form. probably just lets your GI track go "o hey, look at that, its easy, alright i can do this"

      Ibuprofen

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
