Bloated

It seems like whenever I eat a lot of pre-packaged gluten free items such as pasta, cookies, bread I get a yucky, bloated feeling. On the days I eat naturally gluten free items, I seem to feel okay or better.

Does this happen to any of you guys?

Yes, it happens to me. I don't know if the guar or xanthum gum is the culprit. I rarely eat packaged gluten-free foods for this reason and, when I do, I have only a small amount and then make sure I don't have any more for several days at least.

Yes, I feel absolutely the best when only eating naturally gluten-free foods. I use mixes very infrequently--it's actually been a while since I've used one. For me, there are just too many ingredients in them.

Many mixes have bean flour in them, which can bother many people, especially if you're not accustomed to it.

I am intolerant to all grains (including rice and corn), legumes (which includes beans and soy) nightshades (potato flour is in many of those mixes) and tapioca (those are just some of my intolerances). Since all mixes have at least one of those, usually more than one, I can't have any. In fact, the only gluten-free starch I can tolerate a little of now and then is light buckwheat (I don't do well with the dark buckwheat). And even that I can only use infrequently, as I get bloated from it.

Of course, gluten-free pasta, bread, pizza etc. are totally out for me.

So, you're not the only one who can't tolerate gluten-free specialty items. Just like Patti, I usually only eat naturally gluten-free foods (some of them, anyway :rolleyes: ).

Xanthan gum makes me have drastic bloating and pain. I'm not intolerant to corn in any way, so I can't understand why Xanthan gum does that to me.

I handle Guar gum just fine.

Sadly, most gluten-free mixes are made with Xanthan gum, not Guar.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By Baz · Posted

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
