Bummed...something Got Me

Maybe it's the result of the gluten-free bread I made on Sunday that gave me gas on Monday that I'm still reacting to. Maybe it's the gluten-free pizza I got from a local gluten-free bakery (that also makes regular pizza too so I know there's always a cc chance) that I ate on Sun and yesterday. Maybe it's something else entirely. Who knows. What I do know is that yesterday I felt "off" all day and this morning I had a yogurt smoothie for breakfast (vanilla yogurt, frozen berries, a bit of avocado, and ground flax) and w/in an hour my stomach was huge and I had that all too familiar epigastric pain that feels like my belly is trying to stretch bigger than my skin will allow (always gives me flashbacks to being pregnant). I've had that smoothie a million times, so I know it's not that. It's just frustrating because it's been a while since I've felt this way and it's one of the more annoying symptoms I get because it makes me so uncomfortable and I don't want to look 6 mo preggo when I'm not. Thankfully gasx always helps with the discomfort. But I'm left with a big gut, hunger pangs, and discouragement that even when I think I'm being careful, something still gets me. Boo!!!

Ok, venting over.

That stinks. Something got me also. Huge stomach also, now my skin is freaking out and I'm getting moody! Oh what fun this is. FYI, Better double check Gas-X...think it contains gluten!

Gas-x is on the Open Original Shared Link

But thanks for the concern.

You sure you're ok with dairy? Maybe that's it? Hope you feel better!

Could be CC from the pizza

could be too many carbs

could be dairy.

Hon, I know you drink this smoothie all the time, but flax is fiber and if you do not get enough WATER in there, you're going to blow up.

Add some juice or water to the smoothie and follow it with a glass of pure water.

maybe that will help?

Lay off dairy and too many carbs for a few days, push the water and see if it settles back down.

Just some thoughts!

I hate that "blown up inside my own skin" feeling myself :huh:

I have found that not all the drugs on that list are actually gluten free. Better to check with the manufacturer to be safe! :) Get well soon!:)

here is a thread from last fall re: Gas-X products. Some may contain wheat, according to the poster.

Thanks all. I take the gas-x soft gel and never have a problem. Actually it is the best relief to my bloating/distention I've found (phazyme works too).

It could be any # of things. And while it's helpful to know what it was, I also realize that I may never know. I just needed to vent my frustration.

Thanks IH for the reminder about flax. I do add juice to the smoothie and drink it with my morning coffee and follow with a glass of water (to wash down my vitamins). I'm fine with dairy (I eat it daily) but who knows...maybe I had more than usual or maybe it was a combo of things.

Thankfully the bloating has gone, along with the pain, and all that remains is an annoying flare of heartburn.

Some days, I do not know what makes me feel off either, hon. :rolleyes: Part of the mystery of this whole celiac disease thing.

As you say, who knows? Glad you feel a little better!

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      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.
