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

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
