Tummy pains after going gluten free


Freequeen

Recommended Posts

Freequeen Newbie

Hi so I’ve been gluten free a week nearly & I’ve had really bad stomach ache the last 2 days. I was wondering if anyone could advise what I can eat whilst the initial adjustment settles. I know mint tea works well for an angry stomach. Is this normal though? My stomach feels sore, angry, bloated & I had a bad stomach (d) last night. I’ve tried to Google but can’t find much. 
I’ve only had gluten free bread once the rest has been clean eating really rice, chickpea curry, fish potatoes. I was thinking of cutting dairy out too as seen it advised. The brain fog & tiredness have lifted but the sore tummy doesn’t seem to be.... Any help would be much appreciated!

Your on the right track just continue to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in processed food and through cross contamination.

It can take days, even weeks, to get over one gluten episode.

It can take two years or more for the gut to experience full healing after committing to eating gluten-free and every gluten episode can be a setback.

Best approach, particularly during the learning curve, is to avoid all processed foods and stick to fresh meat, eggs, fruit and veggies, simple things using only seasonings your are sure are gluten-free. Also, avoid dairy and soy and any other food you suspect gives you issues.

Also, about 10% of celiacs react to oat protein the same way they do wheat/barley, rye gluten. So that is something you should look at.

Yes, re-check your diet and be sure there is no hidden gluten, and note that gluten-free breads often contain high levels of xanthan gum, which can cause gastro issues in some people:

      Hi @jadeceoliacuk I am a UK based coeliac and I have used a private nutritionist a few times. She is very highly qualified and having just googled her details, she is listed on this website (see link).  For that reason, I think you could trust the listings here as I am quite sure she would not want to associate with this website unless it was a professional, trustworthy resource. https://www.nutritionist-resource.org.uk/ I hope this helps.

      thank you knitty kitty. I will give those articles a read. Yes he is deficient in Iron and Vit D, that is all they tested for. Do you have any tips for finding a pediatric nutritionalist? He has an NHS dietician who has been helpful sending me generalised info on increasing Iron and cutting out dairy but they won't see him now for another year and I feel like I need more support than that...

      Yes,  Lisinopril gave me an inguinal hernia from the persistant cough. Amlodipine doubled urine output and dry eyes so I could not wear contacts, another had me walking bent over like a ninety year old and one knocked out control of my quadracepts so knees would give out.  None lowered my blood pressure. Average BP  132/67 for Oct 21 - 26.  Lowest was 100/59. High 157/62.
