So I'll throw this out there because...well, let's face it, getting glutened is annoying. I've found that when I'm glutened, it takes about three weeks or so for my system to even out again. This last time, I ate ONE Nacho Dorito chip, before thinking to check the back of the bag. Because I can have other Dorito flavors, it didn't occur to me that they could be a problem. Of course, I rarely indulge in junk food, so it would figure that the one time I do, I screw it up!

Anyway, my main symptoms have mostly been GI ones. Specifically, the most horrific gas you can imagine. It would help if I didn't work in a tiny office! So I'm miserable AND embarrassed.

My question: does this sound pretty normal? Anyone else in a similar boat? I guess this misery would like some company. Any suggestions on how to counteract the gas? I've tried over the counter stuff without much success.

I don't get gassy, but I do feel that my insides are in an uproar. It takes me about two weeks to feel close to normal. I think you will find you are not alone in either symptoms or time frame here.

Lately I have been getting gas and bloating from everything I eat and I have been gluten free for about 6 months. I started taking charcoal capsules last week and they actually take the painful pressure away. My stomach still rumbles and makes noises, but luckily our office is bigger. I guess I am still healing and hope someday this bloating with everything I eat will go away.

I'm not saying that you might not have other intolerences, but for a more simplified answer you could be just having "gas" because you have been eating more fiber rich foods. If I sat and ate a bunch of beans I definately would get gassy and I'm not sensitive. Add more fiber in gradually so your body can get used to it. It could just be your body reacting to the accidental gluten.

Sounds pretty normal to me.....I don't have problems with gas much at all until I get glutened. Then, it's frequent and embarassing. It's usually the first sign for me that something is amiss.

I haven't found much to counteract it once it gets going, but eating bland things like potato, banana, etc help make it easier to be around others if you get my drift.....

Thank you for the feedback. It definitely, ah, puts life in perspective a bit when you are dodging people in the grocery store and hoping to get out of the aisle before everyone figures out it's you! :lol: I can't wait to get my system back to normal!!

      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.
