Still Having Stomach Symptoms-Help!

Hi. I'm a 25 year old female I was diagnosed with celiac a year ago and have been G.F.for months now. I'm having severe constipation and fecal impactions. I have been to the ER for this more times than I care to remember. I was feeling really good, then went on vacation got food poisoning and have not been the same since. Never had constipation or impactions before. I have burning pain in my gull bladder and also in my upper left side under my ribs. I also have been feeling extremely ill before and during having a bowel movement. I am wondering if anyone else is getting this? I was told by an ER doc it is probably a vaso-vagal type of response. I have a few good days here and there, but mostly sick. I am extremely dizzy when I have stomach pain, or need to have a BM. I feel icky to the point of almost anxious when I have this pain. Went to the Doc and she is running a G.I. Effects Stool profile because she thinks it may be some sort of parasites or something...just wondered if anyone else is having these symptoms and what helps them?

What helps me with that type of pain is liquid Pepto Bismal. I'm glad your doctor is running the stool panels. Perhaps that will pinpoint what is going on. What are you typically eating? Are you being real careful about CC? We can become more sensitive to very, very small amounts of gluten after we have been gluten-free for a while. Also have you tried eliminating dairy and soy? It is not unusual for us to have intolerances to those in addition to gluten. For me soy causes severe pain and constipation and gluten severe pain and D.

Ya I did notice that it gets worse with milk. After eating chex cereal with milk. Last night I drank milk with dinner. I think that might have done me in. I have endomertiosis as well, so I know hormones could have a lot to do with it. I am trying to be careful about CC, and not getting glutened. I'm still somewhat new to this, and still getting the hang of it. Hoping maybe the stool samples show something and we can get this thing knocked out. I have 2 small children and its hard to function with this happening!

It really is a learning process going gluten-free. Staying away from restaraunts, eating whole foods, and avoiding soy and dairy are good steps to take. Also check your vitamins pills and medicines for gluten and soy and dairy. Use simple spices like salt and pepper or maybe a little garlic. Watch out for flavored coffees and teas, plain is better.

      @trents thank you for that information. My parents feel that cooking flour in toaster isn't a thing as its already cooked product before made? but Airbourne particles is my fear. Like I have had symptoms from 6 meters away had to leave massive migraine.

      Yes, except for the most sensitive, cross contamination from airborne gluten should be minimal. Highly sensitive people may have nutritional deficiencies.

      Should not be a problem except for the most sensitive celiacs. The amount of gluten that would get in the air from cooking alone has got to be miniscule. I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods.

      Yes, except for the most sensitive, cross contamination from airborne gluten should be minimal. Highly sensitive people may have nutritional deficiencies.  Many times their bodies are in a highly inflamed state from Celiac, with high levels of histamine and homocysteine.  Vitamins are needed to break down histamine released from immune cells like mast cells that get over stimulated and produce histamine at the least provocation as part of the immune response to gluten. This can last even after gluten exposure is ended.  Thiamine supplementation helps calm the mast cells.  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.  Other B vitamins and minerals are needed to correct the nutritional deficiencies that developed while the villi were damaged and not able to absorb nutrients.  The villi need vitamins and minerals to repair themselves and grow new villi. Focus on eating a nutritional dense, low inflammation diet, like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, and supplementing to correct dietary deficiencies.  Once your body has the vitamins and minerals needed, the body can begin healing itself.  You can have nutritional deficiencies even if blood tests say you have "normal" blood levels of vitamins.  Blood is a transport system carrying vitamins from the digestive system to organs and tissues.  Vitamins are used inside cells where they cannot be measured.   Please discuss with your doctor and dietician supplementing vitamins and minerals while trying to heal.
