2 weeks may not be long enough for you to have sufficiently healed from the most recent glutening. I find that the longer it's been without an accident, the quicker I am to heal if I do get glutened. Case in point: I have spent the last 5 weeks bloated out of my mind because I have gotten glutened over and over again. I'm being super extra careful for the next few months so I can start healing pronto.

You also have to be super careful what you eat when you are healing. I have found that I can't tolerate beans, broccoli, etc. - anything that people with normal digestive systems sometimes have problems with, creates problems for me when my tummy is awfully unhappy.

Hang in there and eat lots of simple, clean foods til your tummy feels better.

I say give it more time, and probably eat soft things for a while... easier on stomach to digest. I think I may be celiac also, go to doctors tomorrow. I notice ( after looking closely at symptoms...) my stomach appers to bloat also when consuming wheat.

Don't give up sweetie! You're "in training" right now, and you've noticed some progress. Keep focused on that.

I'm right where you are, major bloating from either trace g or just processing old stuff outa my system. Stomach aches daily. Still I'm excited cuz more energy than two weeks ago. That's huge!

Buy some of the gluten-free pizza dough! Make it an adventure. Here's my pizza, I heat some Lucini olive oil (yum), sautee red bell peppers, zucchini, throw on mushrooms and maybe 3 cloves garlic (I use a press so it's fast, no vampires here), then tom. sauce, shredded mozz. cheese (I buy pre-shredded). They even have pre-made gluten-free crust in the fridge section of Whole foods. It's al-most as good but ... I'm so into the toppings -- oh I have to have sliced black olives -- yum. I don't miss the old crust.

Don't give up, you're just getting started.

Some may be lucky and not find this so, but I cannot stress enough the importance of eating plain, whole foods you cook yourself- it's really not that hard! Trying to recreate your old diet with all the substitutes I found had little to no success particularly in the beginning, so you might want to forego the pizza and new grains for a bit. Here's what I would recommend: Fish, meats, chicken, turkey, bananas, a few fruits (they can cause bloating), cooked veggies like squash, sweet potatoes, greens, a few nuts (they can be rough) and NO grains. Once you heal (can take quite awhile) you could slowly add things back in, one at a time, and keeping a food log with symptoms to see how each thing is affecting you. You may want to eliminate dairy, soy, legumes and nightshades in the beginning as they can cause problems as well. It seems dire, but once your body has had time to heal and rejuvenate you'll most likely find you can add many foods back and then you may want to experiment with other grains.

Just my two cents. Hang in there; it will get better!

The elimination diet would help you figure all this out.

Out of pure frustration I went to a liquid diet and then brought simple foods back into my diet one at a time to figure out which ones were causing which problems.

The liquid diet I used was ...... the broth from meat cooked all day in the slow cooker (with sea salt, pepper and onion), lemon juice concentrate, cherry juice concentrate, maple syrup as a sweetener, black coffee and lots of water. That was it for a couple days. Then I brought first poached eggs and then bananas back into my diet. Then I started testing other foods bringing them into my diet and taking them back out twice. If I got the same reaction twice that was good enough for me.

I learned a lot. It was interesting and made me feel more in control of what's happening to me. Control is important to my mental health! B)

I hope there is something in my experience that will help you,

Take Care, OptimisticMom42

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Colleen H   I am just curious,  when you were tested for coeliac disease, did the doctors find out if you had any deficiencies? Sometimes muscle pain can be caused by certain deficiencies, for example, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, and potassium.   Might be worth looking into having some more tests.  Pins and needles can be neuropathy, again caused by deficiencies, such as iron and B12,  which can be reversed if these deficiencies are addressed. In the UK where I live we are usually only tested for iron, B12 and vitamin D deficiencies at diagnosis.   I was very iron anemic and supplementation made a big difference.  B12 was low normal, but in other countries the UK's low normal would be considered a deficiency.  My vitamin D was low normal, and I've been supplementing ever since (when I remember to take it!) My pins and needles definitely started to improve when my known deficiencies were addressed.  My nutritionist also gave me a broad spectrum supplement which really helped, because I suspect I wasn't just deficient in what I mention above but in many other vitamins and minerals.  But a word of warning, don't take iron unless blood tests reveal you actually need it, and if you are taking it your levels must be regularly monitored because too much can make you ill.  (And if you are currently taking iron, that might actually be making your stomach sore - it did mine, so my GP changed my iron supplementation to a gentler form, ferrous gluconate). Lastly, have you been trying to take anything to lessen the pain in your gut?  I get a sore stomach periodically, usually when I've had too much rich food, or when I have had to take an aspirin or certain antibiotics, or after glutening.  When this happens, I take for just a few days a small daily dose of OTC omeprazole.  I also follow a reflux or gastritis diet. There are lots online but the common denominators to these diets is you need to cut out caffeine, alcohol, rich, spicy, acidic food etc and eat small regularly spaced meals.   When I get a sore stomach, I also find it helpful to drink lots of water.  I also find hot water with a few slices of ginger very soothing to sip, or camomile tea.  A wedge pillow at night is good for reflux. Also,  best not to eat a meal 2-3 hours before going to bed. If the stomach pain is getting worse, though, it would be wise to see the doctor again. I hope some of this helps. Cristiana

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
