Rumbling, Grumbling, Gurgling Madness!

Does it stop with the gluten free diet? I haven't started the diet yet, because I have read enough to know that I should wait until AFTER the horrid intestinal biopsy is done.

One of the most annoying things (and embarassing!!) is HOW LOUD my tum tum is. My customers comment on it at least once a day. <_<

People are always telling me to eat something, offering me food *of course its not going to help, 98% of the time its pizza or donuts or something else loaded with the evile gluten*

I am constantly digesting or hungering... sigh

My gurgling didn't stop until I quit fruit and fruit juice and started eating fairly gigantic quantities of vegetables, almost two years after going gluten free. I think that both moves contributed to quelling the gurgling, but I appear to suffer from fructose malabsorption, which you may not. Why not try both, but one at a time, and see if either help? It'll be something to take your mind off still having to eat gluten anyway.:)

(Short answer to your question: not necessarily.)

My loud stomach was gone within the first couple of weeks. It started for me in childhood and was so loud I would carry a sweater or jacket to ball up on my tummy if I had to be somewhere quiet like a theather or a school class. The only time it growls now is if I injest gluten or large amounts of dairy. The same goes for gas, with the exception of if I have been drinking a lot of carbonated beverages. Even beans don't get me.

Yes, for the most part it stopped once the evil gluten was omitted. I understand the angst over it!

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).
