Ibs Symptoms While Healing

I've finally hit the point where I'm feeling better more often than bad, which is great. I'm feeling like a normal person almost all the time now, so I'm very happy. One question I have for everyone is if you experienced any IBS symptoms as you got better? Not to be gross here, but I've noticed in the mornings, before I have a bowel movement, I get very crampy and semi-nauseated, then I have the bowel movement, continue with those symptoms for a half hour or so, and then am fine the rest of the day. Anyone else have this happen?

I have been gluten-free since December with a few accidental exceptions and this did happen to me on and off for a few months. I've never had IBS, I tend to lean in the other direction but this was still unusual for me. Now it just happens a few hours after I have had a gluten exposure. I am intolerant, not allergic. Maybe your "movements" are larger now than before and your body isn't used to it. I suspect that was part of my problem. Good luck.

It's pretty normal. I think I had IBS like symptoms and loose stools for the first couple months I initially went gluten-free.

And don't worry about grossing anyone out on this forum, it's pretty hard to do

That was happening to me until I cut out dairy. No more unexpected cramps!

Well, the GI I saw recently told me I likely have IBS and celiac disease, yay me :-/

Reason being is I still have pain in left side of abdomen after being gluten-free for almost 3 months, which would relate to large intestine issues, not typical small intestine problems, which is odd because my overall bloating got better, so gluten-free diet was doing something.

Also, I fasted for a week before being tested for celiac disease to try and get that pain to go away, but it stayed the entire time.

I don't get D or C really though, not unless I add stimulants like coffee and alcohol to my diet, or take too many metals in multivitamins or something.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
