Belly Problems

[redwingsfan]

Hi Everyone,

I was diganosed in Jan 06 with Celiac and have been following the diet and it has been working up until Tuesday night and wow what a night that was I have not felt pain like that since I started the diet in jan. My question is I am still having cramping and loose stools etc I think you all get the idea. I have been just having very light foods nothing heavy mostly broth and rice seems to be o.k. Oh before I forget I am taking Bentyl 20mg 4 times a day and that does not seem to help with the cramping or anything else at this point so I just would like to know and if anyone has any other suggestions to get the cramping and etc to slow down also in a 24 hour period I lost 2.5lbs. I am seeing my doctor but not until tomorrow I could really use a good night sleep. Please help with any suggestions.

Thank-You

The only thing I know to do is drink clear liquids, eat jello and popcicles and try a heating pad on your stomach, maybe that will help. I often do that when my tummy doesn't feel that great.

I hope you feel better soon

Are you sure no gluten is accidentally slipping into your diet? check to make sure. Check everything...pots and pans, make-up, shampoo, etc.

What are you eating on a regular basis? Perhaps you have another food allergy....do you eat dairy, soy, corn? I know most celiacs are lactose intolerant, at least for awhile after going gluten free. Also, after eliminating gluten it is not common for other allergies to crop up that have been hidden behind your wheat symptoms.

Write back and give me some more info on your diet. Maybe I can help.

I hope you feel better!
