I Am New To Pancratic Enzymes And Recently Started Rotational Diet?

I recently started rotational diet, pancreatic enzymes, and vitamin B 12. Sorry all of you scientific people to start 3 things at once, but that is where I am at.

1 My tummy is noisy, noisy, noisy.

2 I am experiencing some pain in the lower abdomen.

3 My pants are getting too short. Okay, what I think I mean is that I am losing tummy and must pull the pants farther up to compensate for it. I don't think I have lost weight. The inches are only down to my lowest normal level.

4. . I had been tending toward diarreah since going gluten free. I was really constipated a couple of days.

5. My head seems clear day after day, except when I had a very constipated day once. Then after I got cleaned out, I feel really good for a while.

6. Sometimes, I feel very unusally well, extremely well, is more like it. Don't get me giddy!

7. Sometimes I think I am surely dying.

8. I felt ticklish for the first time in years.

I have double checked all of the new supplements for gluten and they all check out. I am wondering if I am now feeling pain, because I am not so numb as I was. I have been surprized on the forum when people talked about a painful expereience. I bloated 9 inches overnight once, but felt no pain whatsoever. That is one of the reasons that I went 30 years undiagnosed. I couldn't feel what was happening to me.

Various stages of inflammation can cause all of this.

The only thing I can suggest is don't change too much too quickly or you will never know which change is helping or conversely -- hurting.

I don't know what pancreas thing you are on. I tried one called Pancreatin. Someone told me they thought I should try it and stupidly I did, even though I didn't think that I had pancreas symptoms. That stuff made me sooo sick to my stomach! After taking it for a week, I had to stop. Then my stomach got a lot better.

I had a nutrient blood test and was found short of pancreatic enzymes, so that is why I decided to take them. I am almost certainly swollen, but have been arguing with my doctors about it. I say swollen, but they just say I am the shape I am! I didn't get a marker test for swelling. I keep wondering if I "should" look emaciated, but I am not. I haven't been absorbing well.

I have failed every blood test for inflammation my entire life - yet when I am in a state of healing I look 20 pounds lighter over night and my joint pain disappears - bloating returns and so does pain - i dont just mean abdominal bloat - i bloat everywhere yet docs always told me my weight is simply a matter of calories in - calories out. This is untrue in a body in constant AI crisis.

Supplements can be helpful, but too many can be harsh on an already inflammed digestive system.

Should add each of my four endos show severe inflammation - sed and crp do not show the entire picture of inflammation in your body.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
