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.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
