:( Almost 5 Months!

I've been sick for like almost 5 months now. The first day I was sick was August 14, 2011. I get really nauseous, SUPER bloated and bad gas after I eat certain foods. I'm really annoyed because the doctor has done a blood test, and an ultra sound on me to see if I have bacteria or gall stones. She doesn't think I have an ulcer or anything to that extent because I haven't been having any other symptoms that can signify that (my bowel movements are normal). I'm starting to think maybe it's a gluten intolerance or allergy and I'm REALLY annoyed because I won't be able to test for it for a couple weeks (I've been needing to find out the answer since August so hopefully it's understandable as to why I'm so impatient!). I just want to know other people's stories if they have experiences like mine. Sometimes vomiting, nauseous, SUPER bloated (I have never felt this bloated before; way worse than typical "that time of the month" bloating) and burping a lot after i eat. It's super annoying because all these tests I have taken have come out normal. No abnormalities, no gallstones, no bacteria.

Here are a few things I have thrown up/gotten really sick after:

-Soup from Corner Bakery

-Panini/ Sandwich from Corner Bakery/Panera Bread

-Burger(s)

-Chipotle (Just had it right now and feel really sick :( Never have felt sick after eating this before.)

-Popcorn

-French Toast

-Burrito

Probably more I can't think of.

Any tips to hang in there until I can get more tests done?! I'm SO frustrated :/ I used to have such a big appetite and I used to be able to eat anything. I miss my old tummy. I literally woke up one morning and just started throwing up. :(

Idk if this helps.

But I am 20 years old, female, 5'1 and about 115 pounds. NEVER EVER BEEN SICK BEFORE :( I was the healthiest person ever :(

I've been tested for

-Gallstones

-"H. Pylori AB IGG"

-"H. Pylori AB IGA"

-"H. Pylori AB IGM"

have no idea what that means :/ The doctor doesn't think I have IBS or Ulcers because I don't have enough symptoms I guess! The only weird poops I have is when my poops feel "sharp." And I don't have hemorrhoids (I was tested for that too -___-) so idk why it feels sharp sometimes?

Sorry TMI.

I'm just a frustrated used-to-always-be-healthy/never-got-sick 20 year old college student! My sickness even conflicted with my studies last quarter :(

Welcome to the forum. I am new here as well. I am not sure if this helps but you could call your doctor and say that you have symptoms of Celiac or Gluten Intolerance and see if they will run the blood test before you come to the office. You need the full Celiac panel. I had trouble getting for my daughter because she is gene negative for Celiac (you don't have to have the genes it is just rare to have Celiac without the genes). Anyway, I ordered them myself at www.ineedlabs.com However, you have to pay upfront and it is 200 bucks but your insurance might cover it. I would start with the doctor office first and tell them you would like to make the appt meaningful. As some wise person on this board said, remember that the doctor works for you. If you ask for a lab test, they should give it to you.

Does anyone in your family have Celiac or gluten intolerance? This isn't a requirement to have Celiacs but it helps the argument for blood tests now.

Good luck and keep me posted.

Nope... :/ No one in my family is known to be allergic to anything. What's the "full Celiac panel?"

Thank you for your reply:)

My daughter too although our family has tons of autoimmune disorders and cancers that are associated with Celiac.

Here is the panel from labcorp

Hope this helps. Others here can give you more info on the tests.

I would ask what the Celiac Panel that they are ordering covers.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates? https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
