My stomach makes sloshing noises and rumbling noises it seems like after i eat anything with gluten! I don't know if i am being a hypochondriac or what but this is accompanied by a stomach ache and i was wondering if this sounds like it could possible be a gluten intolerance?? The noises are loud enough for people around me to hear, and if you put your hand on my stomach you can feel it. Please help me!

Stomach grumbling IS a symptom of celiac and gluten intolerance for some people, but it's also a vague phenomenon that can happen for a lot of different reasons. Do you have any other health issues or symptoms that might be indicative of a problem? Most people who are found to have gluten problems report more symptoms than just stomach noise.

It's possible that your noise might be caused by gluten, but no one here is going to jump the gun and tell you that's the reason. Have you talked to a doctor about it? Requested testing if that's what you think it might be?

In the meantime, I recommend that you continue on with your normal diet. Testing can only be accurate when you're eating a full-gluten diet, so you would probably want to make sure you've finished all potential testing before trying the diet. Otherwise, you'd have to go back on gluten for several months if you ever wanted to be tested (lots of reasons you might)...and you may not want to do that, if it turns out that you feel better without it.

For me that was one of the first things that became annoying to me. So many think it is just because your hungrey but for me even in grade school I noticed if I ate breakfast my tummy would be grumbling all day. It got to the point in school where I would always have a sweater or coat on my lab to muffle the noise. After I was diagnosed that went away. My tummy is now nice and quiet but the rumbles are one of the first signs that I have gotten into something I shouldn't have.

That is how I first noticed that something wasn't right with me almost a year ago. It started with rumbly tummy and mild pain and progressed into full blown agony. Please understand, Im only speaking from personal experience. There is no harm in going gluten free for a week to see how it makes you feel.If you go to the doctor, he/she will probably tell you to take some otc meds and send you home. The sooner you detect the problem, the less damage will occur. Best of luck.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
