Gas?

my 3 year old has had really bad gas intermittenly the last few weeks, they sent her home from the daycare at my gym because she "smelled" and today she was taking a nap and we could hear her pooting down the hall, it's like 20 feet away :blink:

she says her tummy hurts sometimes, and has spent the day almost on the potty because she can't tell the difference between gas and needing to poop....

I don't know if this is normal for a celiac person or not, do you think she is eating too many veggies or maybe it's from the CC she may have gotten Friday night?

Is she eating casein and soy? I wonder if it's from something like that?

It sounds to me like she could be reacting to something--possibly another food intolerance. This happens to me when I eat some of the things I'm intolerant to--also dried fruit. Maybe think back to what she ate on the gassiest days, and see if there is a common link.

My son gets horrible gas when glutened, but I haven't noticed anything else causing it.

she eats everything but gluten, I suppose it's food diary time again, although I was thinking about it, and she gets really bad gas on Fridays (and goes to my mother in laws on Thursdays) so I think I will keep her home a few weeks and see what happens. (and also do the food diary)

My son gets gas a lot too and has stomachaches caused by the gas. He definitely is not getting glutened. I've yet to figure out the cause, but I know 100% it is not gluten.

my kid eats a lot of broccoli. I was noticing that the more I think about what she has been eating, she eats it with like 2 meals a day most days... she is broccoli addicted. :ph34r: that could give her gas right?

It certainly could. As healthy as it is, broccoli can cause gas. I've never tried it, but if it's just brocolli that gives her the problem, and she loves it, you could try Beano and see if it helps.

This was the EXACT thing that led me to finding out about celiac. I could barely even leave the house it was so bad. I mean, I couldn't even go to church. It seemed like every time I moved I had really smelly gas. So I know exactly what you mean about the walking and having gas with just about every step. It was the most horrible, humiliating thing.

Once I went gluten-free, it stopped completely, so I never had to do a food diary. But from what I read during those years, it's almost always something you eat that causes that kind of constant gas.

I hope you figure out what's causing it soon. Broccoli sounds like a good place to start. I've heard of that causing gas now that I think of it too.

my dad gets this exact problem from eating broccoli forets (also known as calibreeze - not sure about the spelling though) and also brussel sprouts, so it is a strong possibility. if you remove the broccoli, then you'll know for certain. However if she still wants broccoli there is a sort which is mainly stalks which will be ok - because my dad can eat that and not the florets as well - its called sprouting broccoli. Anyway, good luck and hope you figure out whats wrong. Hope she is better soon :)

Forgot to also mention he also gets this from cauliflower as well, only milder...just a thought in case she eats a lot of this too...

      I don't react the same way to all of them but do react badly to many of them where others may not. I also have a touch of hypochondria so when the labs come back too high or makes me anxious.

      What do you mean when you say, "blood thinners are all the same to me"? Do you mean you react negatively in the same way to all of them? Otherwise, they are not all the same. They work in different ways. Aspirin causes the platelets to be less sticky. Warfarin and related meds work by reducing the production of platelets. You might talk to your doctor about...

      That's interesting because I think that the lousy 81 mg irritates my gut. I'm sensitive to drugs in general and blood thinners are all the same to me so aspirin necessary evil. As they say, better to be a live chicken than a dead duck.

      Water filters and gluten

      I've been using a Brita water filter for well over a decade without any issues. I seriously doubt that these water filter companies would use glues that would end up in your water, as that would be counter to what they are trying to do, which is to purify tap water. Please provide some specific evidence to back this claim up, as such speculation can...

      2 months in... struggling with symptoms

      Welcome to the forum, @aperlo34! You said you had a colonoscopy "ordered" in July? Has that procedure happened yet? A colonoscopy cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease so I assume the order for the colonoscopy is to check for something else. The procedure used to diagnose celiac disease is the endoscopy. So, I assume you have had blood antibody testing...

I am dismayed but not really surprised that I may be in the small group of people to suffer a particular side effect. I was originally on warfirin. I think that was the one where I had trouble with vitamin k numbers and or was anemic with low hemoglobin, red blood cells etc.  My blood pressure drops to very low numbers after taking something as simple as turmeric for a few weeks. My diastolic had touched 50 one day before I finally figured out that the herb was the problem. No intention to go for 40 so never looked back. I wanted to try benfothiamine but one of the listed side effects is bradycardia and other stuff that I am not going to challenge esp since I have had and still have to a lesser degree heart rhythm problems.

Don't get me wrong here, I am not saying that this isn't possible, but is very unlikely.

      Welcome to the forum, @aperlo34! You said you had a colonoscopy "ordered" in July? Has that procedure happened yet? A colonoscopy cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease so I assume the order for the colonoscopy is to check for something else. The procedure used to diagnose celiac disease is the endoscopy. So, I assume you have had blood antibody testing done and it was positive and then you had an endoscopy/biopsy done to confirm those results? That is the normal process for diagnosing celiac disease. Have your constipation/irregularity problems improved since going gluten free? Some of the continuing symptoms you describe would seem to fall into the category of neurological effects (muscle twitching, shakiness, weakness and headaches) and others such as dry eyes, fatigue, stiffness and joint aches sound like they could be autoimmune effects. Are you taking any high potency to vitamin and mineral supplements? Celiac disease often/typically results in vitamin and mineral deficiencies due to malabsorption from the damage to the small bowel lining it causes. I note that your vitamin D levels are barely within normal range and the only B vitamin testes is B12. The B vitamins and D3 are very important to neurological health. And the several B vitamins all work together synergistically. So, they all need to be up to snuff, not just B12. I would suggest starting on D3 supplementation in the amount of about 5000 IU daily and also a high potency B-complex. Costco's Nature Made and Kirkland brand products are good quality and priced well and usually gluten free (and will state so on the packaging). Realize also that gluten free flours and facsimile foods are not fortified as are their FDA mandated gluten equivalents. So, when you cut out gluten, you cut out a significant source of vitamins. One thing to be aware of is that Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder and autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. That is, when you have one you there is a good chance you will develop others in time. I don't wish to alarm you because I know you have said you already struggle with heath anxiety but many of your symptoms make me think you have some other autoimmune condition going on in addition to celiac disease. Have you been checked for Sjogren's or lupus for instance?  Finally, I am including an article that is helpful to newly diagnosed celiacs in getting a head start on the learning curve of eating gluten free:
