...Sometimes I get bloating without being Glutened, any quick fix to it .

...

I don't have a quick fix, but it's maybe a fix. Keeping a food/symptom journal might show that the bloating corresponds to certain food(s). It wouldn't necessarily mean those foods are off-limits forever.

Also, are you taking probiotics? If not, they could help.

Hi Gemme,

You can try peppermint tea for bloating. It helps get the gas out/belching. It is not a cure for the cause though. A food journal like Tom said can help with that. Probiotics and low sugar/low carbs can help also. Digestive enzymes may help. The big thing though is to eliminate the foods that are causing the reaction for a while. Have you eliminated dairy? That causes many people problems.

Hi Gemme,

Is your uric acid going up or is the elevated number from a umma (urine methymalonic acid) test? If it's uric acid I have no answer for you. Sorry. If it's the umma that means you have an active b12 and/or folic acid deficiency, even with supplements/injections.

Make sure your b12 supplements are METHYLcobalamin (preferably sublingual - under the tongue) not CYANOcobalamin. The inactive cyanocobalamin has to be converted to the active methylcobalamin. Being celiac we have malabsorption issues so we don't convert the b12 very well. If you take the methyl form via sublingual you don't even have to worry about absorption through the gut as it will be absorbed through the mucosa in the mouth.

B12 needs folate and vice versa. Make sure you're getting enough folic acid/folate. Again methylfolate (the already converted form of folic acid) is probably the better option. It is sometimes sold as Metafolin or Deplin. Or you might see it as 5-MTHF (methyl tetrahydrofolate).

I hope all that helps.

And this is my first post. Hi everyone. :P

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
