What's Up With The Gas?

I hadn't had this symptom before and all of a sudden, I have this horrible gas stuck inside me every single day. I am not constipated so why would I have it? I feel it first thing in the morning even before I eat and then definitely after I eat. Anybody has an explanation for this? Especially since I am regular?

Thanks!

How long have you been gluten-free? That happened to me about after a week of gluten-free, where I was terribly gassy all day before and after eating no matter what. I'm wondering if it's not a detox symptom. I am somewhat constipated, but still have it on days I'm not. I just drink aloe juice, take enzymes with big meals, and take one or two Gas-X a day. I also bought some fennel tea to try 'cause it's supposed to help, but I haven't used it yet.

I've been gluten-free for about 6 months and that was definitely an issue for me for at least 2 or 3 months but am happy to report, it is much (much) better now. =)

OK good to know that will progbably pass. I've been gluten-free for several months but started to really stick to eat just recently (not celiac, just intolerant).

I don't know how much milk you drink but for me, shortly after going gluten free, I had this problem and it turned out to be a lactose intolerance due to the damage in the small intestine.

Hope you feel better!

i get painful/trapped gas SO freakin easily... before i knew about Gluten Intolerance.... and after i went gluten free... i WISH removing gluten was enough for me- but unfortunately i have SO MANY additional intolerances

suffering right now- i think i overdid it with the greens & banana smoothie today (i have fructose/fructans issues)... and then i had a 1/2 grilled cheese for dinner- Udi's bread & cheddar- and i sometimes cant handle dairy & ANY starches...

so... im suffering right now- i took 3 or 4 gas ex gel caplets.... and my body just doesnt get rid of it well- it takes forever :angry:

Have you tried fennel tea, peppermint tea, or any other "natural" gas remedies?

I just ask because the fennel tea I have is specifically marketed for IBS symptoms.

oh yeah I was, sorry. I can't have peppermint tea either or it'll give me reflux :( but I like the fennel ok. It has a licorice taste. Might take some getting used to, unless you like licorice.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      I agree. If someone has Barrett's Esophagus, at least here in the UK, as I understand it under normal circumstances a PPI needs to be taken long term (or similar medication). I have two friends with this. The PPI it does have side effects but they still have to take it.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Do talk to your doctor about making changes to your medication. I'm not a medical doctor. I'm a microbiologist. I studied nutrition before switching to microbiology because I was curious what vitamins were doing inside the body. I would hate to give advice that jeopardizes your health, so do discuss things with your doctor.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly. Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO? Are you taking any Benfotiamine? Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO. Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks? Carbon Monoxide poisoning...

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States. In European countries, different cooking methods and longer fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat. Gluten content can...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      From my own experience and that of others who have tried to discontinue PPI use, I think your taper down plan is much too aggressive. It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound...

Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...

It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound is real. If I were you I would aim at cutting back in weekly increments for two weeks at a time rather than daily increments. So, for instance, if you have been taking 2x20mg per day, the first week cut that down to 2x20mg for six days and 1x20 mg for the other day. Do that for two weeks and then cut down to 2x20mg for five days and 1x20 for two days. On the third week, go 20x2 for four days and 20x1 for 3 days. Give yourself a week to adjust for the reduced dosage rather than reducing it more each week. I hope this makes sense.
