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

      Hi there any advice welcomed. I have had 4 years of symptoms ranging from immune related anaphylactic symptom sudden onset food allergy to peppers/paprika/chilli/capsicum family derivatives. all these allergies fizzled out and following a food challenge test in hospital I reintroduced them a few months ago. Since then my digestive system is...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:

Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.
