Bloating

I've been gluten-free for just over a week now, and I find that my stomach is still bloated. I never expected it to go away within a week, but in your experience (those who have had it as a symptom), how long did it take for it to go away after you went gluten-free?

Months. And then it comes back intermittently if you get glutened or go through a new "phase".

Some people see bloat go away quickly.

Just depends. No two people are the same.

You do not really want to know.... :rolleyes:

Every body is different. Don't worry about it.

Very good! Looks like I'll have to buy two different size trousers then -- one for bloat and one for normal.

      Sorry, I think I got you mixed up with another poster.

      I hadn't been eating gluten free before having the antibody test done. I started eating gluten free after having the test done because the gastro PA told me to eat gluten-free for 6 months. I'm now 3 months in.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      I tend to agree with RMJ. Your doc took the reasonable and practical approach to diagnosis. All things considered, it was the right way to go. However, if you have first degree relatives that show signs of possible celiac disease, urge them to get formally tested before they start the gluten free diet.

      It sounds like you have a very reasonable GI doctor, who diagnosed you based on family history and symptoms after eating gluten. I would consider you lucky! The other option would be to make yourself very sick by doing weeks of a gluten challenge prior to an endoscopy.
