Started With Stomach Spasms & Internal 'throbbing' Again!

I was diagnosed almost 2 years ago, after being ill for some time and recently received a report saying my gut is healing well after further biopsies.

 

However, recently I have started with stomach cramps again, and 'throbbing' in stomach & lower down - the 'usual' trips to the bathroom etc.   I have started keeping a food journal again, but I'm mystified.  I have IBS as well, and can't tolerate dairy, I also have diabetes.  So I am going between blaming gluten, accidental dairy, not enough fibre and intolerance to sugar.  I have had problems with Metformin and have reduced it down to one a day, but my doctor will blow a gasket if she finds I've stopped taking it altogether plus my glucose will go through the roof.

 

Has anyone else had a similar problem, and has it sorted itself out?  I remember before I was diagnosed with Coeliac disease having a problem with something contaminated with milk, but didn't realise what it was that was making me ill until a supermarket store wrote to us to inform us of some accidental contamination they had found with dairy.  Fortunately for me at the time, I had a store loyalty card and that is how they knew we had purchased the product.

Spasms, throbbing, and gurgling are common these days with me, I bloated up over something.  My guess in this instance is too much sugar and an over run of bacteria, but I take my probiotics every day, so I am not sure.  I could have had an accidental CC.  As I type this my intestines are talking, so yeah, it happens.

Thank you, you have just reminded me that I used to take probiotics, but in recent months have stopped. For some reason, it hadn't occurred to me - this can happen when you have lots of health issues. I shall recommence to see what happens.

Your certain your not getting cc'd? My gurgling has completely stopped as well as the spasms since going gluten free but if I get cc'd or have dairy it comes right back!

I'm being open minded about everything at the moment. I am keeping a food journal to see if anything shows up on that.

      @BoiseNic Have you tried the Autoimmune Protocol Diet?  This Paleo diet cuts out most everything except meat, veggies and some fruits.  By cutting out all the carbohydrates, especially processed ones, the carbohydrate loving bacteria and fungi like Candida get starved out and die off.  After that, taking probiotics to help repopulate the gut is beneficial.  The new strains of bacteria don't have to fight the established unhealthy yeasts and bad bacteria which causes a rise in histamine levels which can make one feel sick.   Certain vitamins help keep bad bacteria and fungi at bay.  Thiamine is one.  Antibiotics can deplete Thiamine stores.  The Gluten free diet can be low in Thiamine and the other vitamins and minerals needed for healthy skin and digestive tract.  Vitamin C, Vitamin D, zinc, and Niacin B 3 are important to skin health.  Niacin is especially helpful in Dermatitis Herpetiformis.  I like the kind that flushes (Nicotinic Acid - not the same as nicotine in cigarettes).  The flushing gets less and less the longer it's taken, but Niacinamide which doesn't cause flushing can be taken instead.     Here's an interesting article.  Compare the bacteria mentioned in the article with your Skinesa and then with the Visbiome probiotics.   The Role of Probiotics in Skin Health and Related Gut–Skin Axis: A Review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10385652/ Visbiome https://www.visbiome.com/collections/all/products/visbiome-capsules

      The short answer is if it hurts, don't do it. Yogurt may help sooth your gut and repopulate it with benificial bacteria.  I prefer whole milk yogurt because it is not processed and the no fat yogurt is processed dehydrated milk powder with guar gums and water added to make it mouth feel like fat.  Especially in early healing there may be other foods you cannot tolerate for a while.

      I guess I would encourage you to abstain from the wine for a while. If you know something causes you pain then it is a good idea not to do it if you don't have to.

      We have had numbers of others on this forum report pain in that same area. Have you been checked for an H. Pylori infection? This is something very common in the celiac population.
