StaceyBella, welcome to the forum community!

Can you be more specific? What part of being a Celiac is getting harder for your wife? Are you speaking of her symptoms? Are you speaking of psychological emotional stress or the social implications of trying to eat gluten-free? Are you speaking of the challenge of adopting a gluten-free lifestyle and understanding how gluten is hidden in foods?

How long ago was your wife diagnosed with celiac disease? Approximately how long did she suffer with symptoms before being diagnosed? Is she making a concerted effort to eat gluten-free? Does she have allergies or intolerances to non gluten foods?

The main thing is for you to support her with her diet, which might mean that you also go gluten-free. If you can't do this, you'll need to put some effort into making sure that her food isn't cross contaminated with gluten.

@trents has asked some good questions, let us know what you mean and we can be more helpful.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Celiacsugh · Posted

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.

      Intolerance to certified gluten-free pasta may be due to additives or stabilizers included in the pasta's ingredients, even among the top brands. It's important to check thoroughly before purchasing and consuming; you can find the actual ingredients listed in the detailed component descriptions on Amazon.
