Does Glutening Or Dairy Cause Anyones Gastritis To Flare?

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.

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      You state in an earlier post that you don't have celiac disease. Here in this post you state you will "be doing another test". What will this test be looking for? What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      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.
