Hi

I have been searching and searching and a lot of supplements and articles I find seem to be focused around women and PMS and other issues I as a man do not have(sometime I think I get PMS lol), but I do have bloating and it is driving me nutz! I have heard peppermint oil(only one I have tried, did nothing), Magnesium, Astragalus root, Lemon Balm, etc.

What is anything are people taking and what are your results, thanks! I really hate going into GNC or Vitamin world and listening to a 20year old ramble about very expensive supplements where he gets a commission on and I still have no cure.

Gluten Free for one Month. When back to Gluten for one day, The only reaction I had was my stomach grew about 3+ inches almost within minutes and of course the Big D. Back to gluten-free

Thanks : )

I don't really know of anything that helps the bloating except time and healing. For some it takes awhile for it to go down. It can also point to other sensitivities like dairy. Do you still eat dairy? You might want to take a vacation from it for a bit. You might be able to go back to it later after you heal some. You might be getting some sneaky gluten from another scource but I would lean more toward the dairy. Try it and see.

Thanks! I went on dairy free challenge, no dairy for 10 days then dairy on 11th. This whole time I was gluten-free as well. The 11th day I only noticed slight gurgling in the morning with coffee I drank that had milk. I assumed it was coffee more hte milk. Then I drank milk and ate cheese throughout day and stomach was fine. This whole time I still have bloating. not severe but enought to bother me. I experimented with gluten again for the first time in a month the other day and WOW my stomach must have grown 3+inches in just 10-15 mins. This has made me realize Gluten is the problem or at least is some sort of problem. My concerns are the every day bloating and the fact I have lost 12lbs in a month but my belly area is almost growing larger?

Try a probiotic. They can really really help once you find the right one. For me PB8 works the best. It's cheap as well which is nice. I had to try 2 or 3 different probiotics before I found the right one for me but it did make a big difference.

You can't expect immediate results with the bloating. You still have a damaged gut that is going to take a while to heal, and until you heal you are not going to be digesting food properly. As mentioned, probiotics can help, and so can digestive enzymes to help out your pancreas which many times has thrown its hands up in the air and said "I give up". I also used to use a lot of Gas-Ex to help get rid of the gassiness and bloating :)

I also started taking a gluten free vitamin called Bio-35 . You can get a no obligation 14 day supply at no cost. I think it's a pretty good vitamin and has improved my energy levels.

My stomach used to do that too and I would say "I am pregnant and it's name is air!" :rolleyes: I find that walking for 20 to 30 minutes a day helps bloating.

I've had the bloating at times too. And a "full feeling." It was really bad when I was eating gluten. Now being gluten free for seven weeks it's better, but it seems like every time I eat an apple I get bloated again. So I'm thinking maybe i have a little intolerance with apples. So, for now they're off my menu.

The walking 30 mins a day helps me a lot, too. Also I started drinking "Plum Smart" fruit juice. It's gluten free -says right on the bottle. It has extra fiber in it & it seems like it really helps me digest everything a little easier.

Note: If you have "D" it might not be a good thing for you.

I have to go but some tonight since I'm out. I hope this helps. :)

Do yourself a favor and never walk into GN_. They know NOTHING. Go to a reputable Health store and make a list. YOU/I NEED PROBIOTICS- multi-culture pills. You/I have dysbiosis ( bad function of the tummy). You/I need something to calm down the intestinal tract- Royal Jelly. You/I need sub-lingual liquid B vitamins, multi-vitamins, Vit D topical magnesium (you/I can't take the oral pill right now), and yogurt, to correct the malnourished system. If you don't have a reputable healthfood store, try something like Bio-innovations, etc. They are top-notch. Works for me.

Thanks everyone, I am gonna try PB8 I read about 75 testimonials on it and all were great! I also started taking Fennel Seed(only been almost a week, nothing has changed with stomach, but I have lot more energy!) I did tests for malnourishment of vitamins and I was fine which is dissappointing as bad as that seems. I wish something was off so I can blame it on that. I have heard good things about Magnesium and may try that to. I walk alot and drink alot of water so hope something works soon! Thanks

I was going to suggest Fennel seed but you're already using it. You can try ginger too. If you want to try something a little more unusual and are able to find an Ethiopian store/food market, I would suggest coffee shell drink. When the beans are taken, the shells are used to make a different drink than coffee and it helps ease estomach pain and bloating. Also, it is good to drink that every time you have a little more food than supposed. Good luck.

I take Align, a probiotic, everyday. I started taking it back in May and tried going off it a few months later. However, as soon as I went off it, I started bloating up again pretty badly and had intense stomach pain. I have IBS, so it's really helped with my IBS symptoms related to other foods I eat. You might want to give it a try. Good luck!

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
