is there anything that will make the constant bloating go away? 24/7 I have to hold in my stomach and I'm in shape,not over weight, and have good stomach tone. ON the beach when I'm laying flat it looks like something is crawling around in there. It never goes away no matter what I eat, and I follow gluten free pretty good. When I eat gluten my face swells up and my nose closes. help! I'm sick of looking preg.

Maybe some other food is bothering you? I'm pretty thin/fit myself, but I get bad stomach bloat if I eat dairy or corn products.

I tried cutting out dairy, I tried just rice, taking my vitamins out of there capsules, cutting out soy, It never changes, even if I dont eat at all. I went to the doctor and they just say IBS, everything is IBS to them. He tested for Celiac but is was already off gluten,os of coarse it was neg. but I cant eat the stuff. I need a new doctor.

You may want to trydigestive enzymes? You can buy them over the counter. They help break your food down so your digestive system doesn't have to struggle.

If you're not taking probiotics daily, start taking them.

It might be a good idea for you to keep a food log? Note any symptoms, like bloating, excess gas,excitability, drowsiness, whatever. Many of us find that we have to stop dairy for a while, and some have secondary food intolerances. The food log helps you put the puzzle together.

I second this. A food log has been a lifesaver for me. Without one, it's hard to see what you are reacting to. This will also allow you to conduct 'experiments' in a more controlled fashion. For example you can take out a food type for a week or two and then reintroduce it for a couple of days and see if you notice any changes, while keeping everything else the same.

Don't not eat! Not eating causes bloating as well. I know exactly what you are going through, I have the same problems. I am still trying to figure it out by eliminating foods. And as long as I stick to it I am starting to see a difference. I have eliminated gluten, dairy, corn (including anything that contains corn syrup), and most recently, nightshades (which was a big one! I don't know how I didnt notice this one before). I'm sure you have heard this one before but drink lots of water, even if you feel bloated. You need water to help digest everything. I also drink peppermint herbal tea. And I just recently read that ginger tea is good as well for digestive problems so I just picked some up but have not tried it yet.

Everything was bloating me so I am trying to just eat fresh meat (Bartfull sugested it) I think I'm feeling a dif. Have to wait to be sure. Fresh meat, fresh veg. and fruit. That way I'm eliminating all and starting from scratch. I'll try the ginger tea, Thanks

I had a mild amount of bloating that remained after going gluten free. However, after it was clear that I'm corn intolerant too, I stopped eating corn too. I didn't expect it, but that last little bit of bloating has gone away. I also didn't know that I had IBS. So I agree with the other posters, you probably need to check into other intolerances.

sorry for jumping in here, but are digestive enzymes okay to take with probiotics? i'm the same way, bloated a lot and the probiotics helped a bunch to help me go, but the idea of digestive enzymes interests me. any idea if the two together are okay to take?

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
