Sibo?

I posted awhile back and received helpful information regarding my symptoms. Diagnosied as celiac last year after experiencing bloating and eyelash loss. I have been/ still am experiencing major bloating more recently from certain foods, apples(fructose), gum(sorbitol), brown rice and even after brushing my teeth. Checked toothpaste and it contained sorbitol. Lately noticed it from cheerios and popcorn. In my experience it seems to be an instantaneous reaction to certain ingredients like the sorbitol and fructose, as if my stomach is filling like a balloon almost instantly after ingestion. Was sticking to a lower fodmap diet in addition to gluten-free to try and mitigate symptoms. Was working but certainly tough to stick to!

I brought up sibo to my dietician, felt like he wasn’t concerned about that and had me focus on lower fiber foods. He didn’t seem to think it’s possible to have an instant reaction like I’m describing, that it’s likely from other foods moving through my digestive tract. I guess I’m wondering if I’m crazy to think the bloating is as instantaneous with certain foods as it seems, should I be pushing further to be tested for sibo and what does that look like if it does happen to be sibo. Feeling like my concerns are going unheard with my dietician. Thanks, appreciate any feedback.

I would push for it, Danielle.

I think a SIBO test is a good idea, and I also avoid all substitute sugars as I've noticed they all also cause issues. Another thing to consider would be the various gums used on gluten-free products, especially xanthan gum--many people have IBS issues with this:

The one substitute sugar (actually it's a sugar alcohol) I have no issue with is erythritol. Erythritol is largely absorbed before it gets to the colon and therefore does not cause GI issues as do many of the other common sugar alcohol sugar substitutes like sorbitol and malitol which make it all the way to the lower GI track. By the way, all sugar alcohols are natural substances, unlike Splenda and such.

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By cameo674 · Posted

      Does it taste like black licorice?  It said it was chewable.  I do not like that flavor.     Since the burn at the back of my throat is there everyday, I usually only take something when it is unbearable and keeping me from ADL especially sleep.

      Nandos improper preparion celiac childrens food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your concerns about Nando's cross-contamination practices are valid and important for the celiac community. It's disappointing that Nando's does not have stricter protocols for children's portions, especially given the risk of cross-contact with gluten-containing items like garlic bread. Cooking gluten-free items on shared surfaces, even if cleaned, is not safe for individuals with celiac disease, as even trace amounts of gluten can cause harm. While the adult butterfly chicken may be a safer option, the inconsistency in practices for children's meals is concerning. It's frustrating that Nando's headquarters did not take responsibility, but sharing your experience raises awareness and may encourage them to improve their protocols. Consider reaching out to celiac advocacy organizations to amplify your concerns and push for better standards. Always double-check with staff and emphasize the importance of avoiding cross-contamination when dining out.

      Mucus discharge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I had this symptom when I was diagnosed. Are you sure that your diet is 100% gluten-free?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Confused with test results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Based on your results, it seems unlikely that you have celiac disease. A negative endoscopy and the absence of HLA-DQ2/DQ8 genes (the primary genetic markers for celiac) strongly suggest you do not have the condition. However, the elevated TTG-IgA (22) could indicate a temporary immune response or another issue, such as a different autoimmune disorder, intestinal infection, or even a lab anomaly. The presence of DQA1*05 alone is not diagnostic for celiac. Meeting with an allergist and GI specialist is a good next step to explore other potential causes for the high antibodies, such as non-celiac gluten sensitivity or other immune-related conditions. Keep a detailed food and symptom diary to help guide further testing and discussions with your doctors. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Confused with test results

      By Captain173 · Posted

      I had celiac panel done back in October, only ttg iga came back high  (22 with positive being over 3). Endoscopy done in January, it was  negative. Genetic test done after endoscopy, negative for both hla dq2 & dq8. Did show positive for dqa1*05.  Scheduled to meet with an allergist next week. Not scheduled to meet with GI specialist till after allergist. Confused if I have celiac or what caused high the antibodies originally if I do not.
