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!

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      No I haven't had one since 2021. I rarely have more than 1 per week.

      Sorry, I see that now as I reread your original post. You say you have hemorrhoids "only once a week" now. When I develop hemorrhoids, which is once every few years now, it generally takes 3-4 days for healing to take place. So, it doesn't seem like you could have much relief time between episodes if you have them weekly. Have you had a lower GI scoping done...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
