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

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
