Tummy Troubles

I have been gluten free for several years and have also taken other things out of my diet. No diagnosis but have improved with taking out eggs, dairy and peanuts along with gluten. Last year I had pancreatitis and the doctor took out my gallbladder although there was no definite cause. This week I have been feeling bad, my stomach is bloated, constipated - even with miralax and I am not sure what is going on. Which makes me stressed, which doesn't help. Gastro is new and doesn't ask much about possible celiac diagnosis but is sending me for physical therapy for my constipation. Nothing has been done with the exception of tracking bm and food/water daily intake. I am missing something. What symptoms does not having a gallbladder cause? Stomach pain/upset stomach? I know it can cause loose stools which I don't have. Tomorrow we have a family get together and I don't feel like eating anything. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Don't know if it is the case for you but soy gives me the symptoms you mention. If you consume products with soy then maybe try dropping it for a bit and seeing if that helps. 

Hope you find the cause for your issues and they resolve soon.

Here is an article that states that some patients without a gallbladder can have constipation. It is not the norm, but possible. Seems like you would have had issues prior to this week though.

You can still develop gallstones, bile duct issues, etc even after gallbladder surgery. My Aunt needed a stent to keep her bile duct open. Yep, gallbladders are a family curse for us!

I had blood work for food allergies several years ago and I took out the foods that were moderate reaction to both delayed and immediate reactions.   Almond, soy and several others were mild responses.  It may be worth taking them out.  I watch my soy carefully and the only things I eat that contain soy are my mayo and occasional bread/cracker products by Scharr.  I find it difficult to buy mayo that is gluten, dairy, egg and soy free.  Yes, I ate mayo this week. 

 

I am long time sufferer of constipation.  I developed it about 2 years after my last child (11 years ago).  So I know it is not my gallbladder issues that is causing my constipation problems. Nothing seems to help except miralax and I pray that it keeps on working. That is why my gastro is sending me for therapy for pelvic floor dysfunction, although the results from the test were unequivocal. I am having a difficult time grasping that my muscles are causing the problems but would be pleased if it worked.

I just bought a cookbook that has a rice milk mayonnaise recipe in it. It's actually this recipe: Open Original Shared Link

 

I haven't had a chance to try to make it yet, but it does happen to be gluten, dairy, egg, and soy free. I thought you might want to give it a try.

 

I hope the therapy works. Good luck!

Thanks for the recipe!!  I went to a health food store the other day and found soy free mayo but it was $7 for a tiny jar.  So my next step was looking up a recipe on line.  I think this one looks simple enough and I think I got all of the ingredients except white pepper!    :)

      Possible (Non)-celiac gluten sensitivity(?)

      By green-blossom · Posted

      Hi everyone, I am new here, and have some questions. I recently discovered that ~15 minutes after eating durum wheat semolina pasta, I get a strange feeling in my stomach area. I have been struggling with stomach aches, bloating and difficulty with bowel movements etc for about 10 years now (im in my mid twenties.) I have tried a lot to fix this, apart from adjusting my diet. Unfortunately I can't cook and mostly eat pasta, pizza, burgers and so on. I tried a lot of other things to fix it, like working out, yoga, meditation and so on. It helps a bit, although I never really felt relaxed in my stomach area, which caused a lot of problems in everyday life. I tried going gluten free for one day. Everything I normally eat, but gluten-free. And I felt much better all day and had no problems with stomach aches or bloating. Now my question is: Could this be a case of celiac disease in my case? (I only 'suffer' from digestive symptoms) ... and is it possible to develop this during 'puberty' or at other stages of life in general? No one in my family has coeliac condition. I didn't have the problem until I was 15. When I was 20, a lot of bad things happened and I was very unhappy and also had IBS symptoms due to extreme stress. Should I see a doctor and is it safe to switch to a gluten-free diet for now?  Thank you.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The only issue with that approach, is that some restaurants may not want to serve you--if you say you get violently ill, or have a deadly allergy, etc.--remember, at least here in California, businesses can decline to serve you.

      @llisa, have you also been diagnosed with celiac disease? You don't actually say but we have assumed that.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By llisa · Posted

      I had bariatric surgery in 2018. My doctor put me on multiple vitamins, D3, and calcium (in the form of 2 Tums daily). My endocrinologist monitors my levels of these things, as well as my diabetes and Hashimoto's.

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.
