How To Ease A Heavy Stomach?

You know that heavy, sweaty, dehydrated feeling that one gets in their lower stomach area when one falls asleep on a meal of fat/oil, or gluten? I ate gluten a day and a half ago. It's keeping me up and It's really bad. I've never had it for days straight before. Is there anyway to soothe it or do I just have to ride it out?

You might try drinking something plain and fizzy, like soda water or ginger ale, to make you burp. Generally that heavy feeling for me relates to trapped gas that you need to get rid of to feel better. I also take the Gas-X soft gels, and I guiet my stomach with yogurt. You will have to test and see what works for you. Sometimes when all else fails I sear my gut with neat scotch :blink::o

I eat lots of vegetables, nothing else. Might not work if you have/ have had D.

I love it!! :D

I agree that you will need to figure out what works for you--suggestions will help you with where to start. I tend to use fat free greek yogurt, bland foods like potatoes, and tea. Lots of spring water and to Shroomie's point, a little wine helps my stomach settle down many times.

What works for me is sipping a lot of water and eating very, very little (mostly plain rice, plain veggies, plain fruits). I hate that feeling. Ugh.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
