I think I was glutened about 2 weeks ago. The symptoms started about 3 days later. I have the symptoms of a gastritis. Heartburn, pain, gas, reflux. I started eating Dairy also avout a month prior. I probably over did it considering I was so excited about thinking I could handle dairy once again. Do u think the dairy is causing this horrible reaction? Any suggestions? Im taking prilosec for 5 days and my tummy still hurts after eating any thing except plain rice, chicken or veggies! How long until it lets me rest?! Ahhh Im so frusterated. I have not had stomach pain since going Gluten-Free! Some advice/similar experiences...PLEASE!

If I do everything right, Gastritis is a thing of the past, but I don't have diary issues. Try cutting out the diary for several days - maybe a week and see if the issues resolve. If they do, try 1 diary item per day and see how you feel. If you've been glutened 2 weeks ago, it should be gone by now unless you've got something else causing issues.

Both can do a number on me but eating dairy again would be a definate for those symptoms. The PP was right. Stop it for awhile then challenge to see where you stand.

I have similar stomach issues - it's not a gastritis but dyspepsia...though the symptoms are similar. I believe that with a gastritis there is actual inflammation of the stomach lining, and it usually is caused by infection.

When I eat gluten I get wicked stomach cramps, as well as other symptoms - the severity depends on the amount I have eaten. I get reflux and a burning pain in my stomach and cramps in my abdomen, esp. on the right side but pretty much all over. If I don't treat the reflux, I get a sore throat. IF I EAT DAIRY - I get a lot of stomach burning. If I have been very careful and have successfully avoided gluten and other reflux irritants (eg. tomato sauce, heavy fatty food, etc. ) I can get away with more dairy. Pretty much any dairy around a glutening messes me up ! Fluid milk is probably the worst - I pretty much avoid dairy anyway, having a bit of hard cheese and that's about it...it's just easier that way !

I've tried Zantac, Nexium, and others - these days I just rely on Rolaids as needed and avoid "bad" foods. Some of those meds gave me bad reactions (like wicked stomach cramps, worse than a glutening) over time.

FWIW...

What are the signs of dyspepsia?

Here are some of the signs of dyspepsia:

Yes!! When I get glutened, I am left with extreme stomach discomfort for somewhere around a week to 10 days. It gets less and less everyday, but I am there with you on the bland chicken and rice. That's what I live off of for a couple of days.

I have been back and forth with dairy since going gluten-free... I seem to be tolerating a lot more diary products, but when I get glutened, I cut it out for a couple of weeks.

It sounds strange, but for that week after a glutening, I drink a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar (the real stuff) with some water with my meals, or sometimes in between, and that seems to calm things down.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      I think I am gluten intolerant

      By ElenaM · Posted

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      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!
