Hey Everybody!

Does anyone know of anything that can offer temporary relief from the bloating? Sometimes I just feel like if someone stuck a pin in me I'd pop! I've even been asked if I was pregnant before! I've tried gas-x which doesn't seem to do anything at all....If any of you have any advice I'd really appriciate it!

Thanks!

Hiya

I've found peppermint oil to be helpful for bloating. The first capsule works on eliminating the bloating....which needless to say is a bit uncomfortable.....but necessary :blink: But then I take another one in the evening and also two the next day. This keeps the bloating away. Enteric coated capsules are the best as they will open lower down in the digestive system where most needed.

Here's some info from a net search:

Peppermint Oil

Categories: Digestive system, Respiratory system

Symptoms: Poor digestion, Circulation, Headaches, Nausea/Vomiting, Colon Disorders, Colds/Flu, Fever, Respiratory Problems

Peppermint oil eliminates gas, bloating and abdominal cramps. It improves circulation and the production of digestive fluids. It relieves headaches, nausea and soothes spastic colon.

Is the kind of gas-x you take gluten free?Even meds can have it in there so make sure of those too.

If you are using the Gas-X chewable tablets, THEY ARE NOT GLUTEN FREE!!! I found this out the hard way. I was chewing them like candy for the gas, until I found out that they contained gluten! Now I use Phasyme. They work.

For years I've used candied ginger. I sometimes eat a piece before I eat something that is particularly gassy and then after. I helps in getting rid of the gas but not keeping it from happening. I used it extensively when I was pregnant. I might give the peppermint oil a try though. I have to say that since being gluten-free I don't have the trapped gas I used to have.

Thank you guys for your suggestions! Sorry I hadn't checked this in a few days! The gas -x I have used was the gell cap things.....it's been quite a while since I had them since they didn't work for me anyway, but I'm pretty sure that they were gluten-free...I am definatly going to try the peppermint oil and the ginger! Where do you find those products? Can you get them at the grocery store or the drug store? If I can find something that works it will make getting through gluten accidents much easier! In a bad episode the bloating is so bad my clothes don't fit and its quite painful. Thanks again! You guys are the best!

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      By Mmoc · Posted

      Hi there any advice welcomed. I have had 4 years of symptoms ranging from immune related anaphylactic symptom sudden onset food allergy to peppers/paprika/chilli/capsicum family derivatives. all these allergies fizzled out and following a food challenge test in hospital I reintroduced them a few months ago. Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.
