burp..'scuse me. It's the bane of my existence, this burping :angry: .

I'm new here because a friend heard about Celiac disease on public radio and thought the symptoms sounded eeerily familiar to what I've been whining about for four years! The doctors merely patted me on the shoulder and said, 'you've developed a tic'..GAAAA

sO, I'm trying to go gluten-free and see what happens. Glad to find you guys! (and if someone can tell me how to unclick being anonymous, I'd appreciate it. I can't seem to find it) Thanks

Welcome to the world of reading labels and asking friends what they put in a casserole! It may seem overwhelming, but it is much better than feeling sick all the time.

I grew up in nortwest Louisiana, (Bienville Parish, went to school at NSU) my siblings (2 celiac, all 6 hypoglycemic) are still there. I live in Maryland now.

Be really careful of fried foods, because so many of them (especially in Louisiana) are breaded - okra, shrimp, fish, wild game, pork chops - you doubtless can name more). When in doubt - DON'T EAT IT. Unfortunately, gravies and sauces are pretty much gone. I can check with my sisters and get you some names of gastros who treat celiac, if that will help. Try to keep in mind that, as lousy as a celiac diagnosis may be, it is something that we can handle without medication, we are completely in charge of what we put in our mouths, and it is a small price to pay for feeling human again. Best of luck and Godspeed.

I'm in the NO area. My dad has been diagonosed for the most part, I'm waiting blood results.

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By trents · Posted

      I think most of us, when we first got our diagnosis, imagined that going gluten free would be the magic the bullet that would restore us to perfect health. We soon find out that it usually isn't quite that simple and that celiac disease has long fingers.

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.
