Stomach Symptoms After I Eat Gluten Free?

Hi,

I have a question. I've been gluten free for three months. When I do have symptoms because I eat gluten (cross contamination) I notice my symptoms are worst on day 2 and three, and the worst when I eat. So if I consume some gluten, my symptoms kick in strong the next day/ a few days later, and get really bad after I eat anything. My symptoms are a very sour stomach, pain, and severe bloating. is this common?

Any advise is appreciated, including how to alleviate the symptoms (bloating, sour stomach, grumbling stomach)

Thanks!!!!

Yes, it is common for symptoms to appear a couple days later. It's what makes it so hard to pin point what is causing the problem when starting out or when you have no idea that gluten can even do that to people. It also makes it difficult to know which food you ate that was CC'd. Pain in the butt!

I have no idea how to alleviate the pain but I like to think that I eat extra healthy and drink extra water during that time to help it go away faster- flush it out. But in reality, I am so mentally not with it that I have no real memories of my CC days.

well i love to say that i do have something to help :) that happens a lot to me. i am 16 and i got diagnosed about 3 and a half months ago. i understand where you are coming from. there are enzymes to help. what they do is they help you digest things. so how this helps is the food isnt sitting in your intestines. the enzymes attack the food and help digest. quick digest with plant enzymes. thats what i use. it helps. my boss has some stronger ones that i love. they work a lot better. as soon as i can ask her what they are called i will let you know. this isnt a cure but it helps with the pain. also you may ask for some nausea meds. i have old ones that i use that help a ton. if you ever need anything im here to help. :) i have a lot of answers haha good luck! let me know how it all works out. and il get back to you on the better enzymes

My symptoms come in strongest 24-72 hours after I've been cross contaminated. I normally have a excessively full feeling and bad taste in my mouth 30 minutes after eating, diarrhea the next morning, and then sometimes throw up the second morning after. Blah.

Bri, I'm interested to see what the name of those enzymes are and where to get them.

Thanks,

Pete

You can take milk of magnesia to help get things moving faster. And some Pepto Bismol to help sooth the intestines. Marsh mallow root or okra can do the same thing. L-glutamine is said to heal heal the gut although I don't have any ref for that.

Pro-biotics can also help get things back to normal.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
