Argh The Bloating!

Ok, sooo, I have been gluten-free (over 3 mo)and doing! My stomach was showing the six pack potential and I felt AMAZING! Then, we went on a cruise. Yes they catered to me at dinner with my celiac issues but I was stubborn and tried to do my best during the day. Needless to say I failed! I could not wear my rings or 2/3 of my clothes by the 4th day! So I got EXTRA careful and within 7 days of getting home I FINALLY stopped looking like I was about to birth an alien from my rib cage.

My issue now....my heartburn is in HIGH GEAR (not seeing why with what I am eating), and I am having periodic days of EXCEPTIONAL bloating. I have taken to unbuttoning my pants and taking off my belt!!!! My staff can visibly see this bloating at work! I had NONE of these issues the past 3 months!

Things I am wondering:

I have had corn, vanilla ice cream, cheese sticks and cottage cheese in the past week. I have eaten cheese daily since I have been gluten-free (not ice cream & corn, that is rare). Did I possibly kick my celiac into such high gear that I cannot tolerate ANY dairy right now?? I have not yet noticed dairy being an issue while being gluten-free. I know that you can have issues if you get into gluten and need time to heal, but I am shocked at my bodies reaction right now. My heartburn is horrible (pains all the way through my jaw) and I am on medication for it!

Common sense says GO OFF DAIRY for a bit (it is my vice, the one main thing I eat!), I just wanted to know if anyone had input? I just had two cheese sticks and I suddenly look 6 months pregnant! (Guess I just answered my own question huh). I guess my shock is, before the cruise, I ate cottage cheese and cheese sticks DAILY with NO reaction and a flat tummy! If I did just rock my system, any suggestions on how long to hold off on dairy??

I suppose I am just frustrated in general! I went to the specialist, and even with my blood work, symptoms and family history this Dr. wants to scope me, even though I am gluten-free (and had a scope 7 mo ago due to my acid reflux). I think I am going to cancel the scope! I know MY BODY! I have very little doubt Celiac is the culprit! WHY can the Dr's NOT EVER listen!!!?!? He actually used the term "I am not convinced" so HE wants a scope! ARGH!!!

Any help/input/ideas/support would be appreciated!!!! Oh and btw, all of your posts have helped me immensely throughout all of this! Thank you!

I look 6 mo pg. if I eat any dairy at all without Lactaid caplets. If I take those, no bloat, no gas etc. They are great! Try Lactaid Milk and Lactaid cottage cheese and take a lactaid caplet with anything else. Works like a charm!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
