Wierd Symptom Afterwards, Anyone Else Experience It?

First and foremost, I want to thank anyone who is reading this that has read or replied to my previous posts. It really means a lot to have such great advice.

I've been sick for about a year (2 gastros stumped, can't find problems), not DXed, but been gluten free for almost three weeks now, yet symptoms still exist.

The most annoying symptom I experience is really strange and every doctor doesn't understand it.

Basically, once I have a bowel movement, I feel 10x worse. Recently for the past 2 or 3 days, I feel pretty good for most of the day. Everything will be fine, and then I'll have a bowel movement, and 5 minutes afterwards I feel much worse. I bloat up, have some abdominal pain -- mostly upper--, and feel like I am totally full of trapped gas (but no matter what I do I can't pass it, and OTC meds don't work for it). I am not constipated as I have 1-2 BMs a day. It has been like the for the past 8 months and sometimes it'll subside after 3-5 hours, or if I go to sleep sometimes. It hurts and keeps me from doing much of anything.

I'm praying that this is a symptom of celiac or gluten so I can finally understand it and treat it.

If anyone has or has had this symptom, PLEASE reply.

Thank you.

      Need advice for some relief!

      By JD-New to Celiac · Posted

      I am surprised that your doctor would not diagnose based on sight? I was diagnosed with dermatitis herpetiformis but the biopsy came back negative. The dermatologist said that can happen as the disease was not active at the time, but it was classic dermatitis herpetiformis in his opinion especially since I was already diagnosed with celiac several years prior to the dermatitis herpetiformis flare up. Like many on the dermatitis herpetiformis threads I suffered from itchy burning lesions on my elbows. Very painful when I was in the shower. Dermatologist prescribed dapsone gel 7.5%. There is a pill option but I wanted to first try the topical gel and it eased the burning sensation and after a few weeks got rid of the visible signs of dermatitis herpetiformis. I only use it when my dermatitis herpetiformis is active. I recently had a flare up but had the dapsone gel available and it quickly eased the itchy burning skin on both elbows (which is where I usually get dermatitis herpetiformis). I was also told to avoid iodine and of course gluten.

      What should tTG IgA be if Gluten Free?

      By JD-New to Celiac · Posted

      I have celiac and I have been gluten free for several years. Very careful and as far as I know I have never consumed gluten. Recently my bowel movements changed dramatically and I have been Bristol 6 for two months and just now moving to Bristol 5. My GI ran all sorts of blood tests and all were good. The celiac panel test for tTG IgA came back at 13.6 (normal <15). My GI said that is normal. Is that normal for someone on a gluten free diet? I am wondering if I did Ingest gluten and the Bristol 6 stools, the abdominal pain, and nausea are all a result of eating gluten. The GI does not think so since I was at 13.6...or in his words "normal". He wants to do endoscopy, biopsy, colonoscopy, because he is concerned it may be something more serious. Could this just be a case of gluten "poisoning"? I feel like my bowel movements are slowly normalizing but still having some issues.
