A Remedy For Bloating And C

I read this in Natural Health magazine and thought I'd share the info...

It says, "Red Mandarin oil is able to trigger the release of gas. This antispasmodic is strong enough for adults with constipation. Combine three drops of red mandarin oil with one drop of peppermint oil and apply to your abdomen when you're bloated."

This is from pg. 24 of the March 2006 issue. I'm pretty sure the oils can be found in most natural foods stores. I haven't tried it yet myself so I can't say if it works. Might be worth a try though. I notice people are always searching for something to do to relieve bloating and such when glutened.

You rub the oil onto your stomach?

Hi Mamaw,

I'll definitely let you know if I try it! I hate to recommend something I know nothing about, but how great would it be if it works :D

You rub the oil onto your stomach?

Or it is a pill?

I think you rub the oil onto your stomach. You would use the little bottles of essential oils found in the aromatherapy section of a health food store.

I haven't been able to find the red mandarin oil in any of the health food stores. But it would be nice for someone to try it and see if it works. I really could use it because I feel like a stuffed pig at times.................

If you do try it please pm me with the results as I don't always get back to the original posts.....

thanks

Just make sure the oil is gluten free please, they may use a gluten filled oil as a vehicle for the red mandarin. We had to really make quite a few calls from my health food store when I was looking for hydrangea oil for kidney stones. A lot were NOT safe.

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By Kiwifruit · Posted

      Hi I just wanted to update you all and let you know that I finally have my diagnosis. 2 weeks ago I had my third gastroscopy and the biopsy confirmed the damage. Thank you for giving me the information I needed to advocate for myself when I a was a feeling so lost!

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree that the gastritis may go away after you've been on a gluten-free diet for a while. If you are concerned, it might make sense for you to do a follow up biopsy after  a year or so on a gluten-free diet. 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.):

      Testing for celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Getting tested for celiac disease is a valid concern, especially given your history of microscopic colitis and the potential risks associated with undiagnosed celiac disease, such as cross-contamination, nutrient malabsorption, and increased cancer risk. Since you’ve been gluten-free for years, reintroducing gluten for the standard celiac blood tests or endoscopy would be challenging, as it requires consuming gluten for several weeks to months, which could worsen your symptoms and disrupt your daily life. Gene testing (HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8) through a lab like EnteroLab could be a helpful first step. While these genes are present in nearly all celiac patients, having them doesn’t confirm celiac disease—it only indicates genetic susceptibility. If you don’t have these genes, celiac disease is highly unlikely, which could provide some peace of mind. However, if you do have the genes, it doesn’t confirm celiac disease but suggests further testing might be warranted if you’re willing to undergo a gluten challenge. Another option is to discuss with your doctor whether a follow-up endoscopy or other non-invasive tests (like stool tests for gluten antibodies) could provide insights without requiring a gluten challenge. While a formal celiac diagnosis can be important for ensuring strict dietary adherence, access to gluten-free options in hospitals, and monitoring for complications, it’s also worth weighing the risks and benefits of reintroducing gluten. If you’re already strictly gluten-free and managing your symptoms well, the urgency of a formal diagnosis may depend on your personal health goals and concerns. Consulting a gastroenterologist familiar with celiac disease and Microscopic Colitis can help guide your decision.

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Steatorrhea (oily or fatty stools) can indeed be a symptom of malabsorption, which is often linked to gluten exposure in individuals with celiac disease. While it’s possible that a single glutening event, like cross-contamination at a restaurant, could trigger temporary steatorrhea, it’s also worth considering whether there’s a more chronic source of gluten exposure, such as in medications or ongoing dietary mistakes. Since you’ve been less careful recently and experienced this symptom after eating out, it’s plausible that the fries or other cross-contaminated foods could be the culprit. However, if the steatorrhea persists, it might indicate ongoing gluten exposure or another underlying issue, such as pancreatic insufficiency or bile acid malabsorption. Until you can see a GI doctor, it might help to strictly avoid any potential sources of gluten, including cross-contamination, and monitor your symptoms. If the issue continues, it’s important to investigate further, as persistent steatorrhea can lead to nutrient deficiencies. In the meantime, keeping a detailed food and symptom diary could help identify patterns or triggers. Good luck finding a new GI doctor—hopefully, they can provide clarity soon!
