Rumbly Grumbly

Hi, do any of you still get the grumbly rumbly noise after you eat? I still do almost every single time after I eat. I can't figure it out. Is one month enough time to be gluten-free and see results? I def. feel better but I still get occasional "C" and this annoying intestinal noise :-(

That is annoying!!! Mine rarely hurts, it has at times though but that was mostly pro to gluten-free Diet. Now it happens almost every time after I eat but doesn't last long but geesh why does it happen?

How long have you been gluten-free? I am trying not to get frustrated but I am :-( I have been doing this for a month and felt some relief for sure but I keep waiting for that burst of energy and non constipated/bloaty days. I never got officially tested because I went gluten-free before (had I seen this board first I would not have made that dingy move) BUT I did do my research and I know my history and it seems like a dead ringer. I still second guess myself all the time.

I just started the diet about a week and a half ago and second guess that it's actually working. What I've started to do is create a Google document table (like Excel) and keep track of what I eat every day. I highlight foods that give me moderate stomach issues in yellow and then scale up to orange and red (I was having "red" at least 2-3 times a week). The first 3 days I had a "yellow" or mild issue each day, but after that I've had nothing for about 5 days. I've eliminated all gluten and also milk (I switched to soy but I might some other alternative as I hate the taste and hear conflicting things about it).

I'm still gassy though, and when I lay on my back my stomach makes LOUD noises, like my hubby will glance over at me and give me a "what the heck" face. I can feel it when it happens, and it can be very uncomfortable, especially when I sleep (I can only sleep on my side due to this). Also coffee in the morning really makes me uncomfortable I'm realizing, so I've considered switching to herbal coffee (Teeccino).

My celiac test came back negative but I have a very close family history of it, so I thought gluten intolerance might be an issue (so I know what you're saying about second guessing not having a doctor reaffirm that this is actually what you have).

Imbalances and overgrowths of microorganisms in the intestine feed on the food eaten and produce the gas. This is referred to as Dysbiosis and can be caused by bacteria, yeasts and even parasites. Some celiacs seem to be able to normalize the bowel flora and this gets better over time. But many of us need to either work with Drs to correct this problem or use self treatment with supplements and cleanses. A normal person will have no bacteria or yeasts in the stomach or upper small intestine because their strong stomach acids kill them off as does the bile and some of the digestive enzymes in saliva or from the pancreatic secretions. Having volumes of gas soon after eating means that these organisms are living in the upper intestine. Choosing foods that do not encourage the growth of these organisms helps a lot. I use the legal food list from a gluten free diet, take stomach acids in the form of Betaine-HCl and use probiotic, capsules and sheeps milk yogurt. Kefir is good and for people with milk allergies can be made with water.

I get a hugely loud grumbly rumbly tummy, rarely aches, just occasionally. I've found it's when i eat vegetables in the evening and if i go to bed shortly after or if im sprawled out on the sofa relaxing my tummy is often as loud as the t.v. My partner thinks its hilarious. My mum has the same reaction to eating veggies in the evening. (shes coeliac too)

I am gluten-free Coeliac for 1 year. I still have lots of gas and pain. I am on a limited diet - gluten-free and FODMAP - it's really annoying! I just had my blood work done and it's all normal so at least I am avoiding gluten well.

It is so frustrating isn't it? Do you ever think it is something else and that you are barking up the wrong tree? I am trying to stay positive but sometimes I want to give in. I know I feel better on the diet but yet when I have bouts of constipation and rumbles still I go crazy. It isn't controlling my life like before but I guess I just was hopeful it would cease. Prob stupid on my part.

Frustrating? Yes. Stupid to be hopeful? No. I still have hopes my rumbles will stop grumbling. :D

Hi, I'm new to the group. I found out 1 1/2 years ago that I have Celiac with a biopsy. My blood test didn't show anything, but I had already stopped eating gluten a month before because I suspected that I may have it. I'm 53 years old, and feel very alone most of the time! My husband, and two adult kids have not been tested yet. I think my husband may have it too, and possibly our 33 year old son, but they are in denial! I have fibromyalgia, numbness & tingling in my arms, hands, legs and feet. I also have bad night sweats, depression, anxiety, and even though I have been gluten free for over a year I still feel crappy most days. I'm also lactose intolerant. It seems like after I eat my first meal of the day about an hour later I get a lower belly ache, feel kinda nauseous until after I have a few bowel movements! I feel like a prisoner in my body and my home! Most days I don't feel like going anywhere because I feel so yucky, and I don't want to have to run to the bathroom some where, and have an "attack" out in public some where! Does anyone else experience this, or am I alone? :( Sometimes I'll start sweating really bad before an "attack", and during my bathroom visit. Oh and I forgot to say, I'm also morbidly obese, and have been most of my life. I have tried several diets only to lose weight and gain it back. I wanted to try gastric bypass until I found out that I can't because I have Celiac! :( I feel so hopeless, and misunderstood, and like NO one knows what it feels like to be me. Oh, I also get fluid retention in my inside upper thighs, and feet if I stand for very long. Does anybody else get this? Thanks for listening.....

Aw i feel for you i really do. It will take a while and you do have to be super careful (cross contamination is hell!), i do get the sweats before needing a bathroom visit, also feeling faint! I'm underweight so i don't think its to do with your size. I also don't go anywhere at the moment because i feel so 'yucky'. You may find going for a short walk around the block helps, i know i do, and i know how much energy it takes! I think you need to focus on yourself mainly at the moment, if your husband and son are in denial leave them to it, im sure you've said all you can! I went right back to basics and thats how i ended up losing weight but it was the only way i could eat at the time. I ate plain boiled rice and veg, bananas and sipped plain black tea to stop any nausea. Maybe try it for a while i know its bland but it helps stop the emergency runs! (literally!) good luck

Thank you for answering my post. I don't feel so alone now. :) It's nice to know that someone cares. :wub:

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
