So Gassy And Gurgly Even Though Gluten-Free!


GFathlete

Recommended Posts

GFathlete Rookie

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).

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
