Ok so in short, I was diagnosed in Feb. with celiac. My blood test results of the Tga? or Tgg?, I cant remember what its called but anyway the results were 100. So I had a endoscopy to see and it was confirmed. 3 months later and had another blood test and it came out 19. So my doctor said he was encouraged and we will check again in 3 months. Right away after I went gluten free my symptoms went away! Especially the loud gas and being gassy all the time. So today I am experiencing the loud gas again. Just since 4:00. And I had already had gone to the bathroom(#2) twice once in the morning and then in the afternoon and the third time when I got home there was an awful lot in the toilet. I cannot understand because I dont eat that much! but anyway, could this be a cross contamination issue? Or could it have been the 5g of fiber I added to my milk this morning(with FiberSure), and I also had broccoli with my lunch. Am I crazy for looking into this too much?!

Nicole,

Did you eat anything different today than normal? Did you eat anything not prepared by yourself?

Is the fiber a new addition?

I hope you feel better soon.

I am the same way. Seems to be a lot more of my ummm situation when had gone to the bathroom. :blink: Your b.m will never be like it was when you did eat wheat. I have learned that. It sure does not sound like a contamination issue at all.

well, my pre-diagnosis issue was constipation... but to me, it sounds like contamination because i just took too many risks and ended up in a similar spot as you describe. just with constipation instead of frequent visits to the bathroom. the good news is that after only 2 days of being very careful, the gas has let up. i was super foggy and sleepy on monday, better yesterday, and most of today i felt pretty normal.

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
