Still having symptoms

Hi all,

I am new in my diagnosis. I’ve been eliminating gluten for four months, but have still had many times where I have eaten gluten accidentally.

I’ve been working hard to make sure I don’t accidentally eat gluten, or eat something that has been cross contaminated with gluten. However I still have days where I end up with a horrible stomach ache. It doesn’t feel the same as when I get gluttened.

(I’ve also learned that I have other food allergies, like dairy, so I stay clear of those foods as well.)

Is it normal to still have stomach pain/bloating/indigestion even after eliminating gluten from your diet? 
 

thanks!

Recovery can take an average of 2 years IF you are 100% gluten-free. Many people take enzymes like GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) to help them deal with cross-contamination if they eat outside their homes...there are many studies that support their use for small amounts of accidental gluten:

Above all, you need to be 100% gluten-free, and you may also need to eliminate other things, at least temporarily, like cow's milk, corn, soy, etc., until you've fully healed.

Thank you for the information. So is it normal to have flare ups during the recovery process?

i'm at 5 months and i still have upset stomach..  not as bad as it was a few months earlier though..  its improving.. 

My Dr said 6 - 12 months.....

and don't eat at restaurants...

i never eat out... only fresh foods...

the only "packaged" foods i eat right now is:  Greek Yogurt / certified gluten free,  Bryers vanilla ice cream lactose free / gluten free,  and plain potato chips certified gluten free with only 3 ingredients, organic potatoes, sea salt, sunflower oil..

dairy doesn't bother me

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

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      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

      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.
