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.

Well i would suggest not eating gluten. And mine does it too once in awhile and i have noticed it to be gas or indigestion. But i know how you feel :( feels weird

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.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
