So Gassy And Gurgly Even Though Gluten-Free!

Hi,

I have been on a strict Gluten free diet for about 10 weeks now and overall feel so much healthier and better! (YAY!)

The only thing I have noticed in the past few weeks, is the terrible gurggling and gas(worse when I lie down or sit) I have been avoiding dairy and also got a food allergy test which showed no reaction to anything else (corn, eggs, etc)

Could this just be my body trying to remember how to digest normally? Anyone else had this problem? If so, did it go away?

What are you typically eating? You may have an additional intolerance showing up and those won't be found with allergy testing. It may also be that you are just still healing or depending on what, where and how prepared your food is you may be getting a bit of CC.

I seem to have the same problem...i have been gluten-free for 8 months and have cut out basically everything ...the past week or so I have noticed being very gassy especially when I lie down...i am almost 100% sure it isn't a food intolerance so maybe it is the gut healing?

Here's hoping bbdaily!! I really can't find any other things that would be causing this.

Cross contamination is not an issue and I have cut out dairy.

It seems to get worse as the day goes on too...

I have noticed a similar condition as I continue the GFCFSF journey. I am hopeful that it is an indicator of some form of gut healing happening. Could the daily probiotic I have been taking finally be gaining a foothold and killing off some bad bugs?. I probably need to start a daily food journal to get to the bottom of it (pun intended)...

im having exact issues even after having strict gluten free diet.

im really going crazy because im stuck in bed most of the week when i get some other food allergy happening.

i know its something im eating but its too difficult to figure out.

im doing a strict diet of no soy and no gluten.

what else am i going to look out for?

when i have this other problem happening, its not like the gluten sickness.

its minor compared to my violent reaction my body has to gluten.

this is a dull pain in my abdomen and my insides gurgle for hours on end and i have some very severe gas.

i have no energy and am in bed for days on end.

i have to stop eating completely and i will get back to normal.

im about at wits end with all this....ive been diagnosed celiac for about 6 months now.

it was getting so bad for years and i couldnt figure it out.....UUUUHHHGGG!

I also had a lot of what I affectionately called my "gut gurgle" until I started taking a probiotic. As long as I take it I am fine -- if I forget (like I did last night!) the gurgle and gas comes right back and takes a few days to settle down. Sigh.

I take Nature's Bounty Acidophilus with Bifidum -- it is a chewable with a decent taste (strawberry flavor).

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?

      I suffer from Dermatitis Herpetiformis, too.  Like @Rogol72, I had to cut out all gluten-free processed foods, dairy, oats, and eggs before my skin cleared up.  I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet. I also supplement with the eight essential B vitamins.  (Meat and liver are great sources of B vitamins.)  Low levels of certain B vitamins ( B12, Thiamine, Pyridoxine, and Niacin) can affect the nerves, resulting in itching and tingling.  Niacin especially helps with the itching and healing the blisters.  Tallow Balm helps with the healing, too.  Zinc and Vitamin A also help with skin health.   I've gotten such good results with Niacin and the other vitamins mentioned that I've never had to go on Dapsone.
