Bloating

I was dignosed with celiac as an infant, developed some tolerance but then a few years ago it got bad.

I am now gluten, dairy, soy, and egg free and have been for about a month.

My belly is still bloated and feels very heavy, particularly in the lower right. It is causing back pain and I am miserable.

It seems worse when I eat meat other than small amounts of ground beef or turkey.

I realize it may take a long time to heal my gut but is there anything I can do for relief?

So far the only thing that seems to help at all is just not eating.

Not eating will just make you malnutritioned. Have you tried tums? Also when im bloated, I find that taking a nice hot bath usually helps....I know that sounds weird but those are the two things that work for me! :) hope you feel better soon! : D

I am so sorry to hear you are still suffering! I know the pain! I have been gluten-free for a month. This last week my body suddenly, out of the blue decided it would force me to also go corn free. I think the suffering was worse than when I was crashing on gluten and not knowing why!

I found relief with a Rolaids type product that contains calcium, magnesium and dimethacone. I belch for half an hour after taking it, but the relief is almost instant and lasts until I eat again.

I hope you find something that helps you get through this!!!!!

Have you tried taking digestive enzymes when you eat? Maybe your food isn't getting broken down like it should, and is creating gas?

Probiotics help balance and heal the gut too.

I tried a probiotic but it had dairy in it so I stopped.

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
