Severe Bloating

I am HUGELY bloated at the moment. I could pass for a pregnant woman. I have been following my gluten-free diet closely and this has just happened in the past 2-3 weeks. I haven't changed my diet or introduced any new foods so I don't know what is causing it. Has anyone experienced this?

It could be something else in your diet -- pretty much has to be. :) Start cutting out other problem foods like dairy and soy and nuts, and see if that helps. I know how miserable that is, though...I feel for you!

I know how you feel. I've been gluten-free about a year and a half now and now I know it is not normal to have a bloated belly. Check the ingredients in any vitamins or supplements you might be taking. It sure sounds to me like you are getting inadvertently glutened. Best.

I had this problem too until I went mostly raw with my food and cut out nearly all grains. I suggest simplifying your diet for awhile so it'll be easier to figure out what's setting you off.

Also- probiotics are your friend! Non-dairy yogurt, acidophilus, liquid chlorophyll, and or/ Komucha helps with digestion.

Best of luck!

Have you thought about cross contaimination...in your kitchen (counters, butter or margerine tubs?) It is going to take my husband and son awhile to understand that even alittle matters...Hopefully he will get it soon! He wanted us to stay in a resturant that had a continental breakfast!!!! uh duh honey! (newly diagnosed)

you would be surprised my 6 yr old son has a good idea of the things that i am allowed to have. My husband goes on the hunt and brings my home gluten free things to try all the time. They are very understanding they make sure that they use their own butter. and we don't double dip in any containers when making sandwiches. It takes a little adjusting but it works. the hardest thing for me is all the prep that goes into making things.

good luck

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
