Bloated Stomach

Does anyone else have trouble with a bloated stomach? Even when I lose weight, I still can't lose it around by abs. I have trouble finding pants to fit. I have to buy bigger sizes for my stomach and then they are baggy in legs. I can't stand anything tight on my stomach. I wear stretch pants now instead of jeans, which I hate. This has only been since I have started having all these stomach troubles. Is anyone else bothered by this?

It is a common problem. It does get better with time and the longer you are gluten-free the better it gets. Unfortunately, the old addage of diet and exercise applies here even more for us. The first inkling of gluten and we swell up like balloons again.

It is one of my most annoying pet peeves!

I have always had a flat stomach - and now

even with lots of daily exercise and being

exceptionally careful with my food, health/skin

products and surroundings, I still have

a bloated stomach. It is not as bad as

it once was - but it is not flat the way it

used to be! :angry:

I have the same thing. It drives me crazy 'cause I'm a bit of a work out nut - and since I started getting sick haven't been able to because I haven' thad the energy. It's kind of nice to know that it's not just me slacking off that's causing it but grrrrr.

Are you gluten-free? Do you have any dairy issues? (Lactose intolerance can cause significant bloating as well...)

I have to be almost fanatical about my diet and exercise. But sometimes just when my abs really start looking ripped the bloating hits. There just isn't anything I can do but be vigilant about my diet and exercise.

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
