If you aren't already, cut out all insoluble fiber, this includes nearly all grains (white rice is ok because it contains so little) and cruciferous vegetables such as lettuce, broccoli, and brussel sprouts. Soluble fiber shouldn't pose as much of an issue, but still try not to exceed 6 grams per meal.

Also, if you haven't already, cut out all dairy.

How long have you been on the gluten-free diet? Is it possible that you're accidentally consuming gluten? If not, you may have other food sensitivities.

Is it your lower abdomen? Do you get a burning sensation? How often does this happen to you? This has happened to me before, when I consume something like a barbeque sauce, I think it is the vinegar? I am not sure but I know how you feel.

I wish I had some advice but I have the same thing and looking for answers , it FEELS LIKE I'VE SWALLOWED A WHOLE WATERMELON and it wont go down this can come from drinking a few sips of water or eating a few bites of a small potato I dont eat much of anything anymore and for sure there is nothing gluten in what I do eat , but I am still so sick do you think age has a hand in it , was diagnosed 67 yrs ago with celiac disease but did not find out about the gluten part till 2006 after living all thoes with DH on my face ( dr's telling me I had herpies simplex virus) skin specialist took a diopsy it turned out to be DH , then it all fell into place , I would be a very rich woman if all thoes dr's that took my money and looked me in the eye and said you know it may all be in your head gave me back that money (sorry that was a dum thing to say ) it has been been a long battle , but at least now the days are not all bad and I hear words of hope here that it does get better , my dr's theory is there's nothinghe can do for me all thoes years of eating gluten have done the damage that was 3 yrs ago so sorry for venting but it felt good magpie

Smart thing to do is stay away from anthing wheat, barley and rye. I don't understand why your gut would be hurting other wise.

i have a lot of gi issues still too but i have linked it to not eating a balanced diet like i should. i have noticed that as long as i eat gluten-free and balanced everything moves as it should.

if you are eating balanced, gluten free and taking a good multi vitamin and still having issues look to the other general allergies/sensitives like lactose, soy, etc

How do you look for other sensetivities?

food journals, elimination diets (either by removing or cutting everything out and adding back in), "allergy testing" (in the modern medicine practice) or by getting tested for sensitivities with a more alternative system like "bio set" which relies on muscle testing and is a little less exact but in my experiences it works better, causes no pain (other than maybe a sore arm if you test a lot of stuff because you have to resist you arm being pushed down, really weird system but it works)

The allergist wouldn't test any food. He said it wouldn't work anyway so he didn't do it.

A food journal is just writing down everything you eat?

ya you got it

as to the allergy testing, if you use the bio set method (you need to find an applied kinesiologist to do it) it works well but it is very alternative medicine and many people think it is bull but it has worked very well for me and my family, we even got very skeptical friends of ours to go to our guy and they love it

What is bio set? Is it expensive?

What is bio set? Is it expensive?

its a method used for allergy testing that uses muscle testing, it uses the energy of your body, its weird and hard to explain but basically you hold your arm out and you touch the item you may be allergic to with the other hand, the person testing you holds their hand is a certain shape which is doing something with energy and they push down on your arm, if you are sensitive to it you cannot resist them pushing you down if you are not you can easily resist. its not that they just push harder or not you can really tell that it is the same pressure just that you can no longer resist it. after this they can clear you for the sensitivity usually with an equally weird process but basically they do some stuff with acupressure/puncture and have you hold onto the item (or a vial that contains the item/concentrate) for 20 mins they you do not come in contact with it for 25 hours.

i think our guy charges 50-60 bucks per visit and insurance usually covers some of it since he files it as a general chiropractor visit.

the system is very weird and most people are skeptical of it but it really does work and it is becoming more popular, it may sound like total bull but the basic things that are used in it like working with your body's energy has been practiced for 1000s of years

Hi Magpie,

I've had the feeling of being full after just a bite of food also. It seems to me it is caused by gas in the stomach (in my case anyhow). Sometimes I have this problem if I eat too much sweet stuff, or get a little dairy by mistake, or sulfites, or of course gluten does it too. I usually take some pro-biotics and or some digestive enzymes and avoid sweet things for a while if this happens.

Bye the way, good venting! :o:D

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc. Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food....

      Anti-endomysial Antibody (EMA) Testing

      That is interesting, and it's the first time I heard about the umbilical cord beings used for that test. Thanks for sharing!

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?

      Thank you! That's helpful. My kids eat very little processed food. Tons of fruit, vegetables, cheese, eggs and occasional red meat. We do a lot of rice and bean bowls, stir fry, etc.  Do you think with all the fruits and vegetables they need a vitamin supplement? I feel like their diet is pretty healthy and balanced with very limited processed food. The only processed food they eat regularly is a bowl of Cheerios here and there.  Could shaking legs be a symptom of just a one-time gluten exposure? I guess there's no way to know for sure if they're getting absolutely zero exposure because they do go to school a couple times a week. We do homeschool but my son does a shared school 2x a week and my daughter does a morning Pre-K 3 x a week.  At home our entire house is strictly gluten free and it is extremely rare for us to eat out. If we eat at someone else's house I usually just bring their food. When we have play dates we bring all the snacks, etc. I try to be really careful since they're still growing. They also, of course, catch kids viruses all the time so I  want to make sure I know whether they're just sick or they've had gluten. It can be pretty confusing when they're pretty young to even be explaining their symptoms!
