I'm assuming that you are talking about your stomach. If this is the case, your stomach is more than likely tore up a bit. If you are having any burning, it is acid in the stomach which can do alot of damage and you will need to take steps to protect the stomach by using antacids. Sometimes when the stomach is sensative from all the awful things that have passed thru it that has caused damage we have to resort to foods that are easily digested for awhile. Meats can be hard to digest so take that in small amounts. Acidic foods, coffee, soda, alcohol, and dairy are among serveral foods tha can be hard on the system.

As far as I know it is her stomach, but transient small bowel intussusception showed up on the ultrasound. I was told not to worry about it, but if it is what is causing her pain I need to know that. She turned up positive only on DGP IgG and none of the others, so she has a biopsy scheduled for next week. She is on Prevacid and started eating once we put her on that but says her stomach hurts every time she starts eating. It is really sad. She keeps telling me she is hungry but she is limited from the pain. She will not eat fruits or sweets. Everything seems to make her hurt, it does not matter what food I give her. I also give her Tylenol, and Malox if she does not quit complaining as she begs me to do something. What does the gluten do to the stomach? I am aware of the small intestine damage, but what about the stomach? Thanks, Jennifer

I forgot to say she is on Prevacid 15 mg twice a day, so really I would think it would help more if it was just acid. It does allow her to eat for a few bites. I have to take her off that after today because of the biopsy. I dread it. Jennifer

Hi Kate,

Wow- is it your daughter!? Sounds like it absolutely could be celiac causing transient i/s - the problem with that is that Drs don't know anything about celiac anyway and they know even less about the connection between transient i/s and celiac. Anyway you can find a Celiac specialist in your area? Where are you? States or somewhere else?

Make sure they take 8 biopsies, my son only had 3 and then came back borderline :rolleyes:

I read somewhere (in the many med journals) that 20% of adults who presented with i/s in emergency were found to have undetected celiac disease- that is a huge number considering that I/S is so rare.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
