Hi everyone,

I'm hoping for some "veteran" advice here. I have been gluten free since Jan. and dairy and soy free since Feb. After making slow progress I added probiotics (per my doc) and by May was starting to feel about 80-90%. The past few weeks have been bad - and seem to be different than my gluten symptoms. Over a week ago I got some moderate gas pain on the right side for a few days and then about a week of D. Then for the last 4 days I haven't had a bowel movement but have a lot of gas. WHAT IS GOING ON? I called my doc after the first few days of D (because that is an unusual symptom for me) and he had me switch probiotics and said to wait it out a week or two. I just want to feel normal again. I don't care about what I can't eat but if I have to avoid my favorite foods I just want to feel good.

Are you sure the probiotics are dairy free?

What are you eating besides the suspected probiotics?

They are definitely dairy free (I made that mistake a few months ago). I am eating the exact same that I have been eating for the past few months - very little processed food and I don't eat out besides the occasional trip to Chipotle.

Does anyone have any ideas? I just went to see my Doc and she said "well, you might have IBS too". ARG! I'm willing to do another elimination diet if needed but I barely even know where to start. Plus, I need to stop losing weight (I was finally stabalizing after 4-5 months of being gluten-free but the past month has been bad again).

did the new symptoms start immediately after starting the pro-biotics, or sometime after?

It could be additional food intolerances, or it could be a virus, or it could be a low grade bacterial food poisoning even. Something you're eating is not agreeing with you. Take a good look at everything, re-read labels, and maybe initially just stay away from the "usual suspects" like dairy, soy, peanuts and nuts for about a week and see what happens.

are the probiotics in a capsule? i have to empty the contents of my blood pressure meds out of the capsule when i take them b/c i get a reaction from the capsule - it's made from 'starch' (unspecified) and it contains dye. something in that capsule makes me sick, though. that was a tough one to figure out :(

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
