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!

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with the gluten challenge. My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, ...

      Airborne Gluten?

      Hello everyone, I was on here a few months ago trying to figure out if I was reacting to something other than gluten, to which a very helpful response was that it could be xanthin or guar gum. Since then, I have eaten items with both of those ingredients in it and I have not reacted to it, so my mystery reaction to the Digiorno pizza remains...

      Rectal pain

      I was suffering from PF just previous to being dx with celiac disease about 25 yr. ago but have not been troubled with it since. Not sure what the connection between the two is of if there is one. But I do know it is a very painful condition that takes your breath away when it strikes.

      Rectal pain

      I have dealt with proctalgia fugax on and off for a year now. It feels almost paralyzing during an episode and they have started lasting longer and longer, sometimes 20+ minutes. I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and wonder if the 2 are related. I did request a prescription for topical nitroglycerin for my PF episodes and that has helped tremendously...

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      By Kirita · Posted

      I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with the gluten challenge. My teenager completed a gluten challenge over the summer, it ended up being 10 weeks although she stopped being consistent eating gluten after 6. Her previous endoscopy was negative but this past August it was positive after the gluten challenge. If you have done the gluten challenge, how long did it take you to feel back to normal? It took about two months before she got “glutened” again but now she’s having difficult coming back from that and has a lot of fatigue. I’m hoping someone has some advice!

      Airborne Gluten?

      By annamarie6655 · Posted

      Hello everyone, I was on here a few months ago trying to figure out if I was reacting to something other than gluten, to which a very helpful response was that it could be xanthin or guar gum.    Since then, I have eaten items with both of those ingredients in it and I have not reacted to it, so my mystery reaction to the Digiorno pizza remains.    HOWEVER, I realized something recently- the last time I got glutened and the most recent time I got glutened, I truly never ate anything with gluten in it. But i did breathe it in.    The first time was a feed barrel for my uncle’s chickens- all of the dust came right up, and most of what was in there was wheat/grains. The second time was after opening a pet food bag and accidentally getting a huge whiff of it.    When this happens, I tend to have more neurological symptoms- specifically involuntary muscle spasms/jerks everywhere. It also seems to cause migraines and anxiety as well. Sometimes, with more airborne exposure, I get GI symptoms, but not every time.    My doctor says he’s never heard of it being an airborne problem, but also said he isn’t well versed in celiac specifics. I don’t have the money for a personal dietician, so I’m doing the best I can.    is there anyone else who has experienced this, or gets similar neurological symptoms?
