Its Been 3 Months

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.

      You already got some great recommendations. Just want to second that Mallorca (and Spain in general) is one of the best and easiest places for celiacs to travel. I have been to Mallorca multiple times and have never experienced any cross contaminations and there are SO many easy to buy options in regular supermarkets. Hope you have a wonderful trip.

      I agree.  If someone has Barrett's Esophagus, at least here in the UK, as I understand it under normal circumstances a PPI needs to be taken long term (or similar medication).  I have two friends with this.  The PPI it does have side effects but they still have to take it.

      Do talk to your doctor about making changes to your medication.    I'm not a medical doctor.   I'm a microbiologist.  I studied nutrition before switching to microbiology because I was curious what vitamins were doing inside the body. I would hate to give advice that jeopardizes your health, so do discuss things with your doctor.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly.   Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO?   Are you taking any Benfotiamine?  Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO.  Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...
