Last thursday they did a breath test to see if I had a bacterial infection of some sort since antibiotics had worked for a while. The doctor assured me that there wasn't any infection at all. Next week they are doing another ct scan of my abdomen and a lot of blood tests. He told me that he thinks that it's gas (even though i don't feel like I have a lot...

I'm still bloated too. The only time my stomach has ever gone down was when i was on antibiotics. I told my dr and he tested me for and infection and said that i didn't have one but he strongly recommended that I look up which probiotic is best for celiacs (which i'm pretty sure is bifidobacterium lactis which i read about in an article on celiac.com) and...

I had doctors make me cry by telling me that my distended abdomen was in my mind and basically calling me a vain girl. It took forever to get them to take me seriously! Even my family thought I was just complaining! I finally found a doctor that really wanted to help me and sent me to a gi dr that has been super helpful, especially with how my symptoms...

Thanks. I have eliminated gluten from all lotions, shampoos, cosmetics, everything! I'm getting a blood test so I should know for sure if gluten is still the culprit. If not then I guess I will start cutting other things out.

Is it possible that I am being contaminated by the cat food i feed my cats? I have two cats and always try to be careful feeding them and washing my hands after. But I was thinking about how cats are always licking themselves and how their fur gets everywhere. I've been having problems with my belly being swollen and being diagnosed and going on a gluten...

So then dairy can cause my stomach to swell without any other symptoms? I'm just confused because the swelling is my only symptom i've ever had.

Hi! I was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible that my distended abdomen still hasn't gone away after being gluten free for 4 months because of some other sensitivity to dairy or sugar or something. I never feel sick or anything or have any other symptoms. I'm having a blood test done tomorrow so I can be sure that no gluten is sneaking into my diet...

I was wondering if anyone knows if it hurts when your villi start to grow back. I was diagnosed at the end of Sep. 2010 and my only symptom was a distended abdomen. I have stuck to a gluten free diet from day one and my belly didn't go down at all. It started to go down in December and then popped back up in January. I'm almost as positive as I can be...

I haven't had any as far as i know, but should i try something like an antacid?

A week ago i went through and found that a lot of my hair products had wheat in them so i got new ones. I guess I'm just confused because I thought the swelling in my belly was from my intestines being inflamed and I thought that once all the gluten got out that there wouldn't be any inflammation any more. Back when they were trying to diagnose me I...

I was diagnosed two months ago and my only symptom was a distended abdomen. I have been very strict with my gluten free diet. I have been careful about cross-contamination and everything. My belly has not gone down at all and i'm wondering if that is normal or if I should assume that something else is causing it or if there is something in my diet that...
