i have always had stomach problems. with long bouts of constipation then alternating with the other. i thought it was a problem with milk so i cut that out. but i still have problems!! and over the last couple months, i've been feeling very tired, foggy headed, anxious, a sort of tightness in my chest, and nausea and all this on top of the stomach issues! i craved bread and cereals but i'd feel so full and bloated when i ate too much. and when i had pizza i'd get super thirsty, like i couldn't get enough water. a friend of mine told me i may have a gluten intolerance. i just don't know! but i also read that a lot of you guys just got a run around from the doctors so i hate to go that route and be out a lot of time and money. does this seem like it's gluten related? i also worry that gluten may affect my son. he has frequent stomach aches and he has soft spots on a couple teeth. help!

Hi,and welcome.

Certainly sounds like you could have a problem with gluten. Try eliminating it for a week and see what happens (and I mean all of it, meaning you have to read the labels). If you feel better, you can go back on it after a week and it shouldn't affect testing much although your symptoms may be worse. Your son could also have inherited this from you, with dental enamel being a common celiac symptom, along with his stomach aches.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Tammy Pedler · Posted

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Ibuprofen

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      I seem to recall that my digestive issues actually started when I was taking NSAIDs c. February 2013 for some unrelated condition.  My stomach got so sore during that time I went to see my GP and she thought it might be an ulcer or gastritis so prescribed me Omeprazole.  That appeared to trigger diarrhea which, once I came off the Omeprazole, did not stop.  I went back to the doctors after a few weeks, and that finally led to my coeliac diagnosis, after months of unexplained neurological symptoms, low ferritin and anxiety,which did not seem to have a cause but of course we later realised was all down to coeliac disease. I occasionally take a very small aspirin for a sick migraine which sometimes only responds to aspirin, but it usually leaves me with sore stomach a few days later. I've been told co-codamol is another medication I could take with a sensitive stomach. I was once prescribed it, to use for just a few days. It is not an NSAID, but it contains codeine, which I understand can be addictive so should be used with care.  It can also cause constipation.

      I also take Paracetamol. I haven't taken an NSAID in years since being diagnosed with UC. The can cause UC flares.
