Digestive Upsets

i started my gluten free diet about 5 weeks ago and the first week was the most miserable week of my life! I went to the ER twice because the pain was so intense! Afterwards though i found that i had so much more energy and i quickly adapted to the new lifestyle and foods with no problem. I read the entire label on bottles/boxes before i buy and if i have a shadow of a doubt about how it was prepared i dont buy it at all. However i am still experienceing some stomach upsets. it is not like it was before just bloating and fatigue with some mild stomach cramps. At first i thought it could be that i was eating too much sugar or grease but even after a few days of bland food the cramps continued. They come and go now and i just wanted to know if this is normal or if i am still consuming gluten without realizing it!

I had the same problems, and it turned out to be secondary food intolerances. It took some detective work and food diaries to figure it out. If that is the case, the most likely culprits are nightshades, dairy and soy. Good luck!

Do also check all your meds, script and OTC as well as your toiletries. You will also heal faster if you go with whole unprocessed foods for a bit and when you do eat processed if you see a 'made in a facility that uses wheat etc' pass on it till you have healed fully.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
