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?

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
