Looking For A Happy Stomach


KarenFe

Recommended Posts

KarenFe Contributor

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!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again
