Painful like lava is exiting your body? Yeah, that's normal. Painful due to constipation, normal too, with Celiac or an intolerance

If your discomfort is higher in the abdomen, like toward stomach area instead of lower intestine, you might consider Small Bowel Bacterial overgrowth as a possible problem for you. I often get sickly stomach and then it goes away when I move my bowels. On the other hand, my bowels movements are typically constipated and overly firm, whereas you may have the opposite issue.

I've also noticed that certain sugars or pectin or insoluble fiber (not sure - apples and pears are the trigger) give me intestinal cramps while moving my bowels and before. When I cut those out, the cramps went away.

It's tough because our small intestine is where so many necessary things for digestion are released into the system. Since we are messed up there, until we heal, all our digestive processes suffer.

Good luck.

No, that's not a "normal" sensation. That's the type of feeling I get due to lactose intolerance. Other foods trigger it too...I suspect I may also have an issue with fructose.

I have had this my whole life. Sometimes it goes away for awhile. Always comes back. At least 2 a month.

Colitis maybe? Isnt Colitis almost the same as Celiac? Or do they go hand and hand?

Most of that pain went away when I went on the gluten-free diet. The rest is now gone because I started a very low carb doet. Seems like some of the alternate flours do it to me. I tolerate corn about the best.

I did have a month period where I was afraid to go on doggie walks and the like for fear I'd have to suddenly and painfully go poop. I had all these tests done that came out negative. I think it was adding acidoph/probiotics OR time that finally fixed it - hard to say if it was coincidence or not on the probiotics. But I"m be sure I'm on a good probiotic - watch for gluten free and dairy free if you can manage it, and yeast free. THey can be expensive, but even going on it for one month will get your flora back in line.

Good luck.

      Searching for the source - anyone have problems with Crunchmaster crackers?

      By maryannlove · Posted

      I recently had same problem and posted on here.  My bloodwork also unexpectedly skyrocketed.  When doc sent online comment saying something like "you need to be eating gluten-free food" I was almost in tears because had been very careful.  Like you, went on a mission.  Narrowed mine down to Yasso yogurt mint chocolate chip bars (formerly had Certified Gluten Free label on package but learned now only on small boxes but not large boxes) or BJ's only mixed nuts without "may be processed on equipment that also processes ....wheat" allergy warning and said in big letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  I went off both and bloodwork drastically improved.  Still don't know if culprit one or both (will add one back in and test again).  Throwing out in case you're eating either of these.  I live in Pittsburgh and during appointment my gastro told me some U. of Pittsburgh students were having same problem.  They finally narrowed it down to liquid injected into chicken they were eating.  (Apparently to make it moist and/or plump.)  Understand how frustratitng it is when you're making all the sacrifices to be careful.

      A typical CYA response--since they don't label it that way they don't test for gluten, thus can't guarantee it's gluten-free, even though no gluten ingredients are used in the product.

      I understand your immense frustration after 17 years of excellent management; it's incredibly disorienting to have your numbers spike without a clear cause or physical symptoms. Given your thorough investigation, the Crunchmaster crackers are a very plausible culprit, despite their certification. Certification ensures gluten is below 20ppm, but if you are consuming them daily, even that tiny amount could theoretically accumulate over time to cause an immune response (elevated IgG) without triggering your acute symptomatic response (which is often IgA-mediated). Since your son, the perfect control subject, doesn't eat them, this is an excellent hypothesis to test. I would recommend a strict elimination trial: remove the crackers completely for 4-6 weeks and then re-test your IgG levels. If the numbers drop significantly, you have your answer. Other less obvious sources to consider if the crackers aren't to blame include any other new packaged goods (spices, nuts, chocolate, supplements), a change in the recipe of a trusted product, or even lipstick or toothpaste. Your methodical approach is exactly what will solve this mystery.
