I have to ask this question.. does anyone else have unexplainable gas? It isnt gluten related.. its been for days.. it doesnt hurt and not uncomfortable.. but doesnt smell nice at all.. and its rather ummmm... loud.

Could it be a product of my medications? I did start a few new ones lately for different reasons.. I take a whole slew of stuff.. I am a walking pharmacy.. these first ones never bothered me before and I have been on them for a while.. Lamictal, nortriptylene, and seroquel.. the new ones.. are valium, prednesone (sp?) celebrex (which I stopped due to the prednisone) and amoxicillian.

Has anyone ever heard of this? I tried looking up their side effects but to no avail. I found nothing I was looking for.. I would appreciate any help..

I don't know if it's medication related or not, but gas is a perfectly normal occurence, even if it's loud and, well, smelly... Even if it lasts a few days.

Actually, I find I have loud and smelly gas ONLY when I have eaten certain foods. Like I gave in to a craving for bread and ate some gluten-free bread, and bingo........smelly gas. Or potatoes, or even chocolate (all gluten-free, of course).

If I am good, and stay on my stupid restricted diet, I don't have gas at all, or at least it isn't loud and smelly, and won't cause me to bloat.

So, it could be related to your meds, or other intolerances.

It's probably due to a food that you ate. Lots of veggies tend to produce gas - broccoli, cabbage, brussel sprouts and other cruciferous vegetables. And, of course, beans.

Antibiotics can actually cause digestive upset.

Actually, smelly gas can definitely be a normal occurance from malabsorption. I know when my system isn't performing correctly, smelly gas is one of the symptoms.

      Are there any things that you enjoy eating that you can have gluten-free versions of? For example, pizza, mac & cheese, pasta, etc? If so, perhaps try to include those in your diet more until your appetite recovers. Of course cannabis is famous for improving appetites, but I would only go that direction if you have serious weight + appetite issues that you can't solve via other methods.

      Thanks for the follow up, and at least you know the cause of your health issues and can now start working towards better health! 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.):

      Test Results

      Oh, yes. When you reply with the reference ranges, please also add the units used such as mg/L or whatever. Different labs will used different units of measure just as they will deploy different reference ranges.

      Welcome to the forum, @breadbreadbaby! We cannot comment on your test numbers until you also provide the reference ranges used by the lab doing the analysis. Different labs construct the test analysis differently and used different reference ranges, Hence, there are no industry standards. You will likely have to repost the existing information in a new post as I don't think you will be able to edit your original. These two tests are the only ones that are celiac specific for which we need the reference ranges:  IgA - .98 Tissue transglutaminase IgA Ab 45.4  Urate and ferritin are not specific tests for celiac disease. Urate is a test for uric acid levels and would be something run when gout is suspected. Ferritin is an iron storage protein. Though not a celiac specific test, iron stores are often depleted in those with long term celiac disease because of the damage done to the lining of the small bowel by celiac disease. The small bowel is the portion of the intestinal track where all of the nutrition from what we eat is absorbed, including minerals like iron and the vitamins necessary to assimilate iron like B12. Many celiacs have few if any GI symptoms. This is common. We call them "silent celiacs". I was one of them. Silent celiacs are usually discovered indirectly because they develop health issues or irregular lab values indicative of vitamin and mineral malabsorption. In my case, it was elevated liver enzymes which had no other explanation. It took 13 years for me to get that figured out after the first appearance of elevated liver enzymes. By that time, I had experience significant bone demineralization.
