Mia,

What I learned is that your body has been malnourished and not properly processing what you eat. Your bod has to re-learn how to process food. You may also have some secondary food intolerances popping up. I needed to give up all grains for about 6 months. Once I gave up the grains the bloaty gassy feeling went away.

Also might help to take probiotics and enzymes.

I didn't have to give up all grains, but I only eat rice and corn. Lots of people struggle with corn but I don't. I use rice pasta, corn tortillas, and I use rice flour to make pancakes.

It takes time. 5 days is not enough time to heal years of damage. I'm on week 6 and my bloating is just starting to go down now.

Most of us, or many of us, cut out hard to digest things like soy, dairy and nightshades for awhile until we heal. Eat a simple clean diet of healthy foods like meat, fruits, veggies and you will heal faster. Don't eat gluten free foods right now like cookies and breads. They are too complex for your healing tummy.

Look at my post about unexpected results from being gluten free. I went through a few weeks where I couldn't eat ANYTHING without getting sick. I just kept on going and now it's resolving. Not a hundred percent yet but way way way better.

Your life will change drastically and it just needs time.

Not sure of your daily schedule, but I find that if I walk for 30 minutes a day it makes a big difference. I noticed a difference right away after going gluten free, so by day 5 you should have too, but everyone is different.

I have to respectfully disagree with that. Some people don't feel a difference for awhile and some of us get sicker before we get better. Depends on how sick you were and how long you've been undiagnosed. I've had celiac my whole life and was misdiagnosed until recently at age 40. I felt a difference in anxiety and shortness of breath, but everything else got worse for awhile. Statements like you "should" make me nervous because with celiac there are no shoulds. It manifests differently for everyone.

I am currently at week2+ 2 days and the bloating has almost completely lifted. The first 5-7 days of being gluten free however were realllllly bad and I lost about 10 lbs. There was (is) definitely an adjustment period for my body.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule.

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
