Stange Sensations In Gut

Something I have noticed for the past year or so, and I continue to have after being gluten-free for 3 weeks, is the following - sometimes after lunch I get a non-localized sensation from my guts of warmth. It reminds me of the feeling you get after drinking a big gulp of wine on an empty stomach. It will last for hours. Does anyone else every experience this? It is rather disturbing. It does not seem to correlate to any particular thing I have eaten.

That happens to me too sometimes. While I am writing, I need advice. After years of GI problems I recently underwent extensive testing and one of my three celiac antiobdies tested positive. Based on all the research I can very easily agree that I have it. My GI dr wants to do the endoscopy, but because of school it would have to wait two weeks plus. They seem to be in no real rush however I have to continue to eat as normal, and I am plagued with stomach pain, nausea, headches, and fatigue. I am very busy and this is really affecting my quality of life. Should I proceed with the endoscopy and suffer it out or are the anibody tests an accurate indicator? I have read that lots of people with positive blood tests have negative biopsies but still respond well to the limited diet. So do this mean I could be holding out for nothing? Plus, endoscopies are not the cleanest procedures(the wands cant be entirely disinfected like other surgical instruments can) and the last thing I need is to get a virus, which I would be suceptible to due to my current health state. I am so torn, do I really need it to accuratly diagnose or should I take my blood tests and move on? Please help!

There are some blood tests that are very specific for celiac. I only had blood tests done the doctor didn't even want or need a biopsy because of the results. If you want that diagnosis then go with it but you have to realize it may come back negative if you do not have damage yet but you could still have it. It's really up to you. I think it is a pretty safe procedure so I wouldn't let that keep you from doing it if you want it.

I know what you are going through with feeling nausea and otehr symptoms all the time. They will go away with the diet(sooner or later depending on your body's time for healing). It's just a matter of when you start the diet....it has to be after all testing unless you want to go with an Enterolab. They send you a kit and you take a stool sample and send it and they test for the celiac gene, malabsorption in the intestine, gluten sensitivity and so forth. They do not make you be on the gluten free diet so you could go gluten free now and still get an Enterolab.... www.enterolab.com This is not widely accepted by the medical community but I think it is an awesome test.

If you have any questions let me know...feel better soon

And I recommend finding good enzymes, probiotics, and liquid vitamins right now if you are not on them.

I think I may have experienced that feeling. Right before going gluten-free I was having this sensation in my stomach when I ate wheat, especially whole wheat, where it would feel really warm in my stomach and sort of itchy, like I was having an allergic rash or something, and I would feel REALLY hungry though I would intellectually know I wasn't. It was a really weird feeling and as I stopped eating whole wheat products it went away. I had only been getting that about the last month before going completely gluten-free though...

Why would you suggest Liquid vitamins? And are you referring to liquid forms of regular multivitamins or anything in particular?

Thanks

The reason why I recommend liquid vitamins is because of the way your body absorbs them. I especially recommend this at first, when the intestines are healing.

I like Liquid Vitamins Plus by Utrition. They say ultra absorbable on the front of the bottle.

Probiotics are great because they help fight infection and boost your immune system by giving good bacteria.

Enzymes help aid with digestion and are also a benefit to the body

Hope this helps you a bit

I get that too. I describe it like being scratched from the inside out.

Calcium does come in liquid form...I take a calcium liquid form as well.

Do you have a Vitamin Shoppe up there?

You should be able to find these kinds of supplements at a health food store or a store similar to a Vitamin Shoppe.

If you can not find any where you live then I am sure you could call a store in the US that has something you are looking for and then have it shipped up there.

I usually order my vitamins from Open Original Shared Link

They do have quite a few liquid calcium bottles, so ill check that out next time I order. As for the multivitamins in liquid form, Ill prolly have to look around for any local stores or maybe order from US if they are too expensive :P

      European travel with Celiac Disease

      It's great to hear that the trip went well, and the general consensus I hear about gluten-free travel in Europe, including my own experiences, is that it is much easier done in comparison to traveling and eating gluten-free in the USA.

      European travel with Celiac Disease

      Safely home from my recent trip to the UK. I had zero gut issues while traveling around this pretty country. Our tour leader was very good at making sure the 2 of us with gluten issues on our tour were well taken care of. We often got our meals before the rest of the group and adaptations to the menu for us were well thought out and very tasty...

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      I am 73 years old and was diagnosed with Celiac disease, and started the gluten free diet 4 years ago. This past spring, I experienced sudden onset diarrhea, which was persistent for several weeks, before I had a colonoscopy. I was told my colon looked normal, but the biopsy showed microscopic lymphocytic colitis. I was asked at that time if I was still...

      Yasso frozen yogurt bars - be careful

      Thanks for sharing this! Talk about frustrating! It is complicated enough to try to keep track of which products are safe, but the concept of the same product sold at 2 different stores--one that is certified gluten-free and one that isn't--that is exactly why having celiac disease is still so difficult, and it is so easy to make mistakes!

I just wish restaurants here in the USA took as much pride in making food that everyone can enjoy. Many of the hotels and pubs we ate at had numerous options that were safe for us with wheat/gluten restrictions to eat.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      I am 73 years old and was diagnosed with Celiac disease, and started the gluten free diet 4 years ago.  This past spring,  I experienced sudden onset diarrhea, which was persistent for several weeks, before I had a colonoscopy.  I was told my colon looked normal, but the biopsy showed microscopic lymphocytic colitis.  I was asked at that time if I was still experiencing the diarrhea, and when I said yes, I was prescribed an 8 week course of Budesonide, which included the weaning off phase.  Budesonide is a steroid, but it is allegedly specific for the bowel, and has very few systemic side effects.  I must say, I experienced no side effects, except a couple little spots of persistent psoriasis went away.  I have one week of treatment left, and other than one loose stool very early in treatment, I have had no further bowel issues.  I was told that 80 percent of people go into an extensive, or even permanent, remission after taking Budesonide.  During the colonoscopy, two polyps were removed, and one was precancerous.  I know that colon cancer risks are higher in people with Celiac disease, so it was recommended that I have another coloscopy in five years.      Like your husband, I probably had untreated Celiac disease for years.  It makes one wonder if the chronic irritation and inflammation could lead to the development of microscopic lymphocytic colitis.  This disease is usually diagnosed in people over 50 years old, and occurs approximately in one out of every 1,000 people.        Incidentally, If your husband is prescribed Budesonide, it can be purchased significantly cheaper by using GoodRX.
