Not Sure What Is Going On

I was happily tootling along on the paleo diet (no dairy, no grains etc), which I have been on the for the last month and a half, when a few weeks ago I had a bad migraine that left me with vertigo and nausea for a while. Not long after that I also started getting stomach pain (upper half of my abdomen, not lower abdomen). As I could not eat much I put cream back into my diet (for the calories) after taking milk out because it seemed to upset me. Now, for the first few days it was fine, then I missed a day of cream as I ran out but today, after putting it back in, the diarrhoea is running through me. This is the first time I have had diarrhoea since I went grain and dairy free, and as it is pretty bad, I am wondering what is up.

Could it be an attack of gastritis (the stomach pain is not a foreigner to me as I have had it at times in the past and it started before I started drinking cream)?

Could it be the dairy? (causing the diarrhoea not the gut pain as I have had the gut pain for over a week now and just got the diarrhoea today)

Could it be something else?

Whenever I see my dr they diagnose IBS but the pain is in slightly the wrong place (upper gut, not lower gut...nearer my actual stomach and small intestine rather than my large intestine). It could be a viral thing I guess so I am waiting it out but any feedback welcome. Should I take the dairy back out again? I though cream might be ok as it's got very little lactose in.

Dropping dairy again for a bit might be a good idea. You may be reacting to the milk protein, casien, rather than the milk sugar, lactose.

Hope your feeling better soon.

It could be an H.Pylori infection. They have test for that you can get at your doctor. A natural treatment is mastic gum, but it is not an overnight cure or anything. You have to take if for a month or more. Why not take the dairy back out and see if it helps? That is the only way to know.

When I had an ulcer in my upper left stomach I would lay on my left side. The stomach acid kills the H.pylori bacteria or at least inhibits it. That was not an instant cure either but did reduce the pain for a while so I could sleep.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
