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.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—
