Is Lots Of Gas Normal?

My DD was confirmed Celiac in April and has been Gluten free since. She has always had more than average gas, I attributed it to gluten. Well gluten free 7 months now and still lots of gas.

More than the average kid.

The typical gas producing foods are NOT prevalent in her diet. ie : cabbage, broccoli etc.. she does not have more than average amount of sweets. Of course more in the last week but it's been going on longer than that, and No stomach pains accompany it.

Is this a stage people go thru when healing? Is there a natural aid for it? Any idea's!!

Lactose (milk sugar) or casein (milk protein) intolerances both can cause gas. Actually, maybe any intolerance could produce gas: Gas (if I'm not mistaken) is a sign that some food is not being digested properly.

Some newly-diagnosed celiacs are temporarily dairy intolerant...for others it's permenant. Lactose is digested on the ends of the villi that are damaged by gluten in those who are celiac. When the villi heal it's better.

You could try cutting out milk/dairy/cream/butter entirely and see if that helps. Or limit dairy and use lactaid pills and lactaid milk to see if that helps and if it doesn't, then eliminate dairy entirely.

Digestive enzymes can help a LOT for some people. Did for me!

I am a gas machine. I think it's part of the healing process. I have also been glutened 4 times in the last 2 months and that sure didn't help matters.

And for natural remedies, I like peppermint tea, which would be very soothing for a kid. Lemon balm tea is also an idea. I think there are also peppermint pills, but I've never tried them.

google Fructose Malabsorption & the FODmap diet-> it's helped me a lot- i have to avoid many of those foods.

other than that- take a look at the most popular culprits:

Dairy, Corn, and Soy.

and some of us have issues with Legumes & Beans

Follow up.

for last 3 days:

I am using Lactaid milk only, am using active enzyme only yogurt and hard cheeses. Is that enough because it maybe slowed down a smidge but not much.

How many days before I see a difference? any idea's

Unfortunately, that's impossible to answer. Some people see remarkable changes in days, some people take months, others take a couple years.

For me having any amount of gas means I have consumed something I should not have.

Soy gives me the WORST gas ever but no abdominal discomfort until the D .

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
