Stomach Problems

So, my stomach has tried to kill me tonight. I'm trying to figure out what did it. I've currently got the "D" (really liquidy, yellow, and slightly foamy? ick), stomach cramps, major gas (huh?!? thats a first), cotton throat (have had this for the past few days on and off, attributing it to allergies), and tiredness.

I have not eaten much today but:

A couple of corn tortillas with a little honey

prunes (4 of them)

and half a bowl of my leftover mac and cheese.

Today was the day i had to take a midterm. I forgot to pack away something and didnt get out of there till 2. THen i got back here and discovred the wasp issue (still unresolved atm) and forgot about it till around 4 when i ate the prunes. My stomach was feeling sort of off (kinda like when i'm still hungery) so i fixed some mac and cheese an hour later.

I can't go to the store till friday and thats pretty much whats left in my fridge. I didn't "go" yesterday (something that happens from time to time, i think its because i don't eat enough), so i thought the prunes would be fine.

I'm kinda thinking it was the culprit this time :( I feel like i did before i went gluten free.

Another possibility is that i had to use several computers today that were not my own and were icky. I had to clear my throat (yay allergies and post nasal drip) I believe i put a finger in my mouth on accident. Stupid tissue.

Anyways, thoughts?

I would try to keep a normal diet for a while to see if it really was caused by the keyboards. If not, I would pay attention not only to the prunes, but also to the mac and cheese. I dunno, you just seem to eat it a lot and for something to bother you this badly, might not be something so new...

Sometimes stuff just happens. It could be that your body decided it didn't like not being fed properly. Maybe the mac&cheese went off? (when did you cook it? I seem to have problems with leftovers even when they were fine the first time. So weird). Wouldn't think of the icky keyboard, but who knows...

Anyway, hope you feel better. Maybe lay off the prunes for a bit.

Take care!

I'm going with the prunes on this one too. Bad things happen when I eat red peppers. Sometimes it takes a while to figure something out.

Unless you eat corn on a regular basis, i"m going with the corn. I only recently found out corn does exactly what you described to me. I cerently hope it"s not corn, you think gluten is in everything. Corn is even worse, hopefully it"s not corn or prunes. I hate to see anybody lose a food item from there safe list.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By ehb · Posted

      Thank you @Scott Adams and @trents this is very helpful, and I think I have some solid ideas to bring to my doctor (corticosteroids, testing for chron’s, increasingly strict gluten-free diet)  @RMJ thank you this is definitely reassuring as well, I’m feeling frustrated and hopeless because I have gone through a similar progression of increasing strictness, and am now at a level similar to what you describe, but have not seen any changes in my blood results. I am now thinking to cut out processed foods altogether maybe with the help of a dietician? I’m also worried about cross contamination from the tables or microwave at my work (there is often free pizza and such sitting). It just feels so restrictive to not see or feel any results

      High IGA antigliadin, everything else normal, what does this mean?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the Tribe!   Take the Celiac diagnosis and run with it! P.S.  Yes, adopting a gluten free diet is a big mental adjustment.  Many go through the five stages of grief.  Many are relieved to have a definitive diagnosis instead of being a walking medical mystery.    The forum here can help with lots of articles and years of experience to get you started on your Celiac journey.  Best wishes!

      High IGA antigliadin, everything else normal, what does this mean?

      This was the advice from the GI physician:  "We discussed that your work-up is equivocal for celiac disease due to discordant serologies and biopsy results. As we discussed the gliadin DGP Ab IgA has a lower sensitivity (87%) and specificity (80-95%) for celiac disease compared to tissue transglutaminase Ag IgA (sensitivity of 95%, specificity of >95%, which you tested negative for). Your duodenal biopsies were normal; though in mild cases of celiac disease, affected areas can be patchy. While about 90% of individuals with celiac disease carry the HLA-DQ2 allele, many people in the general population also carry this allele without developing celiac disease.  In the context of some of your symptoms of GI upset, it's possible that you may have either irritable bowel syndrome, gluten intolerance, or a very mild case of celiac disease. As we discussed, sometimes we can attempt a high gluten diet for 6-12 weeks with a repeat EGD and biopsies. Or, you can treat this as if you had celiac disease by being gluten free and see if it helps with some of your other GI symptoms. We decided to take the second approach. In patients with celiac disease, we do monitor vitamin levels every year. We would also get a DXA scan to screen for osteoporosis. I have ordered these studies for this year; subsequent checks can be done via your primary care doctor's office."
