Looking For A Happy Stomach

I have been gluten-free for the last 3 weeks starting the day of my biopsy. I have not had some improvements as I was hopign and decided to go a few days without milk or milk products. Up until dinner I was thinkign my stomach felt "smooth" and "happy." In other words, it did not seem bothered at all today. Then for dinner I had eggs and for dessert some lactose free, gluten-free "rice dream."

My stomach started making noise before I even finished my dessert. I'm wondering if it could have been the eggs. The "rice cream" didn't look to have anything that would bother me. Unless it had soy..... I'll have to go look. Can an egg allergy/sensitivity cause the same symptoms as a lactose intolerance and gluten sensitivity (or celiacs - still waiting for the results)?

Thanks!

Karen

You could be allergic to eggs, which can cause digestive issues; however, Rice Dream makes me sick (I think that's what you wrote, or was it "rice cream." I am not really sure if there are issues with these products regarding gluten, but Rice Dream definately gets me (I havent' heard good things). My suggestion would be to give yourself a few days without eggs and try eating them again - without any other new or questionable food. You will know if it is eggs quickly if they make your stomach upset. Eggs are so good for you, it is good to eat them if possible. Plus, they are great as a binder for gluten free recipes.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, It was Rice Dream I had (and it was for the first time). You and others have problems with Rice Dream? This food selection is tough. I'd think one would be good to go if it was gluten-free and lactose free. I'm still learning. I'll wait a few days and then have eggs again. Hopefully it is the Rice Dream and not eggs. Thanks!

If you're looking for a good nondairy, non-soy dessert, I like the Coconut Milk ice cream made by "So Delicious". It may have soy lecithin in it, though.

Rice dream has soy lecithin in it.

It is also processed using a barley enzyme. It does cause problems for some of us even though it is technically gluten-free. I am sensitive and my body certainly doesn't like it.

If you go to the top of the page and search rice dream you will find that many celiacs have a problem with it. It is made with barley and may contain traces of gluten. Here a one link:

Karen,

I don't know if you're in the Pacific Northwest, but there's a great coconut milk based ice cream called Coconut Bliss out here in Oregon, available at Fred Meyer and the like. gluten-free, CF, delicious! My BF is dairy intolerant, I'm gluten intolerant, but this ice cream is not a substitute, it is simply the BEST.

As for eggs, while my gut was healing, eggs would make me drunk. :blink: If you have leaky gut due to celiac, you may be experiencing the same thing. Nearly a year after getting off gluten, I can have eggs again.

Good luck!

      Thank you @trents for letting me know you experience something similar thanks @knitty kitty for your response and resources.  I will be following up with my doctor about these results and I’ll read the articles you sent. Thanks - I really appreciate you all.

      You're right, doctors usually only test Vitamin D and B12.  Both are really important, but they're not good indicators of deficiencies in the other B vitamins.  Our bodies are able to store Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D in the liver for up to a year or longer.  The other B vitamins can only be stored for much shorter periods of time.  Pyridoxine B 6 can be stored for several months, but the others only a month or two at the longest.  Thiamine stores can be depleted in as little as three days.  There's no correlation between B12 levels and the other B vitamins' levels.  Blood tests can't measure the amount of vitamins stored inside cells where they are used.  There's disagreement as to what optimal vitamin levels are.  The Recommended Daily Allowance is based on the minimum daily amount needed to prevent disease set back in the forties when people ate a totally different diet and gruesome experiments were done on people.  Folate  requirements had to be updated in the nineties after spina bifida increased and synthetic folic acid was mandated to be added to grain products.  Vitamin D requirements have been updated only in the past few years.   Doctors aren't required to take as many hours of nutritional education as in the past.  They're educated in learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical corporations.  Natural substances like vitamins can't be patented, so there's more money to be made prescribing pharmaceuticals than vitamins.   Also, look into the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself.  Her book The Paleo Approach has been most helpful to me.  You're very welcome.  I'm glad I can help you around some stumbling blocks while on this journey.    Keep me posted on your progress!  Best wishes!

      So interesting that you stated you had sub clinical vitamin deficiencies. When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease (silent), the vitamin levels my doctor did test for were mostly within normal range (lower end) with the exception of vitamin D. I believe he tested D, B12, magnesium, and iron.  I wondered how it was possible that I had celiac disease without being deficient in everything!  I’m wondering now if I have subclinical vitamin deficiencies as well, because even though I remain gluten free, I struggle with insomnia, low energy, body aches, etc.  It’s truly frustrating when you stay true to the gluten-free diet, yet feel fatigued most days. I’ll definitely try the B-complex, and the Benfotiamine again, and will keep you posted. Thanks once again!

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Segments of the protein Casein are the same as segments of the protein strands of gluten, the 33-mer segment.   The cow's body builds that Casein protein.  It doesn't come from wheat.   Casein can trigger the same reaction as being exposed to gluten in some people.   This is not a dairy allergy (IGE mediated response).  It is not lactose intolerance.
