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.

I feel for you....really...I do!I have the exact same problem!I havent been diagnosed as a celiac..but I definately have gluten sensitivity.The doctor is sending me for more bloodwork to test for celiac again.Anyway,my main problem is bloating and gas..and my insides grumble around and make nioses like I am passing gas..when Im not.I worked at a small office for two weeks...and quit,one reason was because it was so quiet there,and I was embarrased they might hear my stomach.I hate it..Im so disqusted with this whole thing!Ive been almost gluten-free all week,and do feel better,but its a diet thats so frustrating!

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!!

      IBS-D vs Celiac

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
