Stomach Bug Or Food Reaction?

Hey all,

so, over the past week or so my life has been Eat, feel like crap, repeat. It's possible a couple of those instances were due to slight cc glutenings, but today I had to stay home from work cause my stomach was so screwy (and i'm achy and lightheaded and all the other fun things that come with a reaction). I know it's not gluten this time, because I haven't eaten a thing I haven't cooked myself since thursday, and I was fine yesterday until supper. I've been suspecting other possible food intolerances (I'm casein and soy free, and have issues with eggs), and am being extremely careful so I know it's not gluten.

That said, could it be a mild stomach flu? Is there any way to tell? (I've been nauseous but not sick, due to my thankfully strong stomach). I have the chills a bit but no fever, and my sinuses are doing ok.

I've also just started taking digestive enzymes last week. They seems to help with some meals and not with others, and I get pain with some meals and not others whether or not I've taken it. Frustrating!

In any case, I have an apt with my doctor tomorrow, to finally get a referral to a GI (after 3 years, and all these issues popping up lately, it's time to get the State of the Stomach checked out).

Anyway, any advice is helpful, but mostly I'm stuck at home and in pain and want to vent. Eeerrrggghh....

Thanks

Peg

Did the problems start before or after you began the digestive enzymes?

Ive had a stomach bug for a week, and if my son wouldn't have had it at the same time I would have thought it was gluten or something else.

No fever and off/on D. Nausea. Digestive enzymes help, as do probiotics. Cramping after/during eating. Bloating. Worked out this morning and don't advise it - thought I was over it til then.

I don't know how to tell the difference. It didn't hit me like gluten, but if course I would have wondered and thought that's what had happened except for the germy kid.

I had it last week and thought it was a delayed/ongoing reaction from a glutening I had had three weeks previous. Horrible gas pains and D. I ate Stonyfield Farms yogurt (six probiotic strains) and it really helped.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.
