Can Gluten Affect You This Much Later?

I was diagnosed with celiac at age 7, i went on a gluten free diet and things were fine. when i hit college it became really hard to eat and drink gluten free. I graduated two years ago. After college i went right back to a gluten free diet.

Recently, more so the past two months I have been having some lower ab bloating that is constant, and i feel gassy all the time after eating no matter what it is. Its not pain, just achy and pressure almost. Sometimes its behind my belly button (but i know gas can cause this poking feeling near your belly) sometimes radiates to hips/sides. I know these are normal celiac symptoms but i have never felt these before and it scares me. The lower ab bloating is more so on the right side then the left.

My GP thought it was possibly a cyst so i saw a gyn and she checked twice for cysts and anything else that could be wrong down there but found nothing.

I have an appointment with my GP in two days and a GI in three. I just want to know if these feelings are normal. Or if these could be after effects from the damage that occured when I was in college.

Someone please help me. (Also, please no judging. for medical reasons unsafe to me and my baby, i had a surgical abortion two months ago. The clinic at my check up and GYN both confirmed that nothing was wrong with that and that this issue is not GYN related.) I dont know if anything ever had an issue like this and if the uncomfortableness and bloating is because of that. Thank you.

Well, it's possible you've developed another food intolerance which is causing you issues. Try a food diary, keeping specific track of the major allergens.

Another thing to consider is your body is making post-partum adjustments. Hormones can shake your body up on all levels, so I wouldn't be surprised if they are causing you grief at this time. Additionally, pregnancy can be a "trigger" event for all things autoimmune.

Have you tried digestive enzymes and probiotics?

Give your body time, but be very vilgilant about cross contamination.

Maybe your getting cc and you don't know it.

Yes, your symptoms are normal Celiac symptoms...if getting gluten.

Hope you find the source.

Also, I agree with considering other food intolerances like said above.

      Well, that's a big question. When he was seeing the nutrition response testing dr. that changed each time we went in. He hasn't been seeing him regularly for theist ten months. When he had a horribly week in March I started him back on the 4 that were suggested to keep him on. Those are: Standard Process Chlorophyll Complex gluten-free, SP A-F Betafood gluten-free, SP Tuna Omega-3 Oil gluten-free, And Advanced Amino Formula. He also takes a one a day from a company called Forvia (multivitamin and mineral) and Probiotic . Recently he had to start Vitamin D as well as he was deficient.

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks

      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing.  It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together.  If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well.  If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ is a sulfonamide drug, a sulfa drug.  So are proton pump inhibitors PPIs, and SSRIs. High dose Thiamine is used to resolve cytokine storms.  High dose Thiamine was used in patients having cytokine storms in Covid infections.  Magnesium supplementation also improves cytokine storms, and was also used during Covid. How's your Vitamin D?

      Hi,   Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom has an allergy to some sulfa drugs (IgG Celiac too), but I don't think I've ever taken them. Mg boosted my energy as well. It solved a lot of problems. I take 1000mg MgO a day with no problems. I boost absorption with Vitamin D. Some people can't take MgO,  like mom, she takes Mg Glycinate. It's one of those things that someone has try and find the right form for themselves. Everyone's different. Mg deficiency can cause anxiety and is a treatment for it. A pharmacist gave me a list of drugs years ago that cause Mg deficiency: PPIs, H2 bockers, HCTZ, some beta blockers (metoprolol which I've taken -- horrible side effects), some anti-anxiety meds too were on it. I posted because I saw he was an IgG celiac. He's the first one I've seen in 20 years, other than my family. We're rare. All the celiacs I've met are IgA. Finding healthcare is a nightmare. Just trying to help. B
