I have been off glutem for a month now, and I have noticed my heartburn is gone, and so is my itchy bum. Bloating, gurgling, and nausea remains. I wonder if maybe my insides are healing from the ends towards the middle?

Sounds sill, but I have noticed I am losing a bit of weight, and my face and lower legs are getting thinner, but my belly is still huge.Maybe things 'heal' from the thin parts first then towards the bigger parts?! Thanks all have a nice day. Geat forum BTW God Bless

I'm not sure about the healing from the thin parts thing... I think each persons symptoms asks healing process are a little different. I still get the huge bloated belly even after being gluten free for 8 months. That's sometimes how I know I've gotten into something I shouldn't have but I also have gallbladder issues so that's usually the culprit. It can take quite some time for everything to heal after going gluten free but it could also be that some other intolerance or condition is causing the bloat. Did you also cut out dairy, processes foods, etc? It's best to eat only simple whole foods for a month at least and then slowly add things back in one at a time.

Another thing to keep in mind is that most people go through a short period of gluten withdrawal and that can cause some of the symptoms you mentioned. I mostly got headaches and dizzy from it but I believe you can also have GI issues.

Hello Barry and welcome!

This sounds fairly typical.

I would suggest that you give up dairy products for a month or so, along with your gluten free diet.

After some healing, dairy can successfully be reintroduced. :)

Keeping a food journal might be helpful too.

Much to my chagrin, I shall address the " itchy bum" issue. This is personal experience and my OB/ GYN 's thought mixed together.

When our gut isn't processing the food properly, the stuff coming out the bum side can be particularly irritating. If we are having gas, and ,perhaps, some leakage ( even very tiny), it can irritate. Her suggestion is that we use some baby diaper rash stuff to protect our skin and delicate parts in this area. Also, wash & dry well after every BM.

Alright....now I have completely embarrassed myself.... :ph34r:

Your not the only one that has had this issue. I've been battling skin yeast infections in the perianal region. Not fun. I agree with the diaper rash ointment. Even though my kids are 7 and 11, I still keep it on hand. Also liquid anticid works well when you have the D and your bottom gets raw from the acidity. It helps neutralize it and heal it. My youngest son had problems with that as a baby and his ped is the one to recommend it to me. It works! I did that when I had my colonscopy prep and no sore bum. I also keep it around for when we get the D from a GI bug or a glutening. Just make sure to lable it so you don't drink it. :o:lol:

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
