Distended Abdomen - Help!

Dandelion

Recommended Posts

Before going gluten free my abdomen was constantly distended. I could have passed for a pregnant woman it was so bad. Once I went gluten free my abdomen flattened out. All was fine and good until I went for my endoscopy in mid-April. I've been completely bloated since. Anyone else have this reaction? I haven't had any gluten since then. All I can think of is maybe the protonixs or pepcid ac that I am taking? (The doctor found a couple of ulcers when he was doing the test.) Nothing else has changed- not my diet, toiletries, etc. How do I get rid of this?

oh duh! :( I bet they aren't. Such a dumb newbie mistake. I didn't think they were since the distended abdomen is my only symptom. I can usually tell if I've been glutened. Anyone know of a gluten free acid reducer? I have to be on it for at least three months according to the doctor. Had no luck with prilosec.

if the protonix is the name-brand purple capsule with three stripes, it's gluten-free. I don't know about the pepcid AC.

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?

      So the way it should be used is to take it before possible gluten exposure, so right before a meal at a restaurant take 1-2 capsules. Unfortunately taking it 1 hour or more after an exposure is too late.
