This is very embarrassing. Besides my many other symptoms one of the worst is the flatulence problem. It

Welcome!

Do you eat dairy? If so, you could cut that out and see if it helps. Also soy can cause problems too. I'm sure others have had the same issues and they can tell you what they have done to resolve it.

I've given up alot of foods now! I'm the same way and eat very little now to help the bloat, gas and pain. Sometimes I wake up bloated or get bloated by just drinking water in the morning. I'm gluten-free going on my fifth month. I'm so OCD about gluten that I wear gloves for everything..hand washing etc...I'm actually getting to see the real gastro tomorrow. I hope he has some answers for me. Good luck and hugs, I understand!

I feel your pain. I am pretty sensitive to some random things and will get all bloated and gassy and I just hate it, hate it. I am dairy free too, but there are some other things that do it to me anyway. For a few days, make your diet really really simple, with just a few things (and things with very short ingredient lists) so it's easy to keep track. And think easy to digest foods as well. If you do veggies, make sure they are well cooked.

I am betting at this point your poor system is just tired of being bloated - like you said, it's sore! When the gas dies down, slowly add in foods... The good news is that for me, when I go to the really simple diet I can feel better as soon as the next day, but it may take an additional day sometimes. But then you also need to take the same amount of time when adding back in foods to see what's causing it. So sometimes it can take even a week for me to figure out what it is that is making me "toot." But the patience is worth it. There is nothing worse than that totally embarrassing problem and not knowing how to make it stop.

Oh, and sometimes phazyme or gas-X will help, but I find that it's hit or miss with me. Best of luck and let us know if you have more questions!!

It sounds like you have other food intolerances. Until you figure them out, Digest Gold (digestive enzyme) has worked wonders for me. It's a bit pricey but worth every cent, in my opinion. Also probiotics are key.

Also get some Bean-Zyme (gluten-free version of Beano) if you're eating beans.

i was still gassy and bloated in the beginning. it took a (month ? ) while before my intestines started feeling 'normal' - i cut out dairy until the other day. i also skipped tomatoes and various things that (now i can tell the difference) gave me gas. sunday, i made tacos for church lunch and went all out - ate extra-sharp cheddar and raw tomatoes. i know! danger! and although i wasn't glutened, one of those things (cheese/tomato) was making me bloated. yesterday, i ate leftover tacos with just the cheese, which i would have put $$ on to blame on the extra gas. nope. it's the tomatoes. evidently, i can eat them if they're cooked?? i'm feeling like a giant science project. poor husband brought home fresh pineapple, which i asked for. except he got it pre-cut in-store. i'm not eating that......

      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.

      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!
