I wasn't sure where to post this but my wife has been trying to get me to eat gluten free bread but every time I do I get massive stomach aches as well as very loose bowel and blood on the toilet paper but not in the bowl. I can't find anyone with similar problems and I just need some help!? Is this normal should gluten free bread do this to me? I can eat gluten free cookies and crackers and brownies but gluten free bread tears me up! Any suggestions?

Hi Monkeyface! Welcome to the boards. We are prolly going to need more information than what you have given. Can you tell us what your eating? Are you still eating gluten in other forms? What brand of gluten-free bread are you eating? Have you seen a doctor? Any tests done? Any other information might be helpful.

What your experiencing in the bathroom, is that every time you go? Recently? Long term? Are you bloating? Pain? (honestly that sounds a lot that what I went and am going through)

It could be soy or dairy... you may develop other (hopefully short lived) intolerances while your autoimmune system is in attack mode. The way I looked at it was I removed the beast my cells were attacking. Everything was good for a very little while. Then my AI system got all ramped up about anything that was similar in protein structure to gluten. I couldn't do egg for awhile either.

Right now, you're best off with whole foods, nothing processed. Root vegetables have been good for me, especially ones I didn't eat regularly before.

So get your starch from a roasted rutabega, your protein from whatever fish, poultry, pork or b

Same here. I can't tolerate many things temporarily until my intestinal lining heals. In my case, on top of gluten, I also get the same reaction right now from rice, corn, eggs, and nightshade plants (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers). I am assured by my Dr that I will be able to eat these other things again in time, and I've read posts on here where people say they can start eating something again. It's encouraging, but it does take time to get there. I sort feel like I'm in boot camp right now, but there will be a payoff!

I will admit that I am not comepletaly gluten free just moved not a whole lot of spare money but the only time this happens is when I eat gluten free bread I've tried several different brands and they all do the same thing the only thing that doesn't upset my stomach is pita....but that has gluten.

Wow! I thought this post could have been my husband. He has had some problems, but I think he has them after he eats at work. He also calls himself monkeyface.

Maybe a simalar problem causes my family not to be able to eat gluten?

I realized it could not have been my husband when Monkey Face said they eat gluten free cookies and stuff. I stay away from sweets.

First bit of advice: cut out the gluten as much as humanly possible.

You're probably having trouble with gluten-free bread because (depending on what it's made of) it can contain a lot of stuff your body probably isn't familiar with yet -bean flours and such. If you're still eating gluten deliberately, then you haven't given your body time to a: heal from all the damage, or b: adjust to all the new things your making it digest. It takes time to heal and to be able to eat a lot of things without problems.

I know eating gluten-free can be expensive and a hassle, but be strict and stick to it now, and you'll feel better much quicker.

As other posters have said, dairy and soy can be a problem as well, but you have to make sure the gluten is gone before you worry about something else affecting you.

Also, when choosing a gluten-free bread, try something as organic as possible, preferably fresh if you can get it (it's pricier, but often better for you in the longrun), or try making your own.

Good luck and feel better!

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
