The one way I always know I've been glutened is when the sound of small animals trying to claw their way out of my gut start. Seriously it is really loud. It's always accompanied with a lot of pain too besides the ever annoying gas, bloating, and D. I am pretty good about not ingesting accidental gluten. I check all my labels, but recently I was accidentally glutened by cc and it's the first time since the beginning (about 3 months ago) I've been glutened.

The problem is that this noise is really hard to deal with on top of everything else. Other people can hear it. People ask me if I'm hungry. How do you guys deal with this if you do get glutened? Do you just wait it out? is there something you take for it? I haven't found a gas pill that will really take it away. It usually lasts a few days. I tried a probiotic yesterday thinking maybe somehow it would help, but no it didn't.

I hope I don't get glutened again. I am pretty careful. I guess I am just stuck with this for the next few days :(

I can definately identify with this :D Even as a child I realized that when I ate breakfast before school my tummy would be louder not quieter. By adulthood the constant rumblings were always present and I usually carried a coat or at least a big purse to put on my lap if I was going somewhere quiet. The only thing that stopped the noise was being gluten-free and when glutened like you I deal with the rumbles again for a couple of days. I haven't found anything that will stop them but wanted to let you know your not alone in this. Hopefully someone else will come on with some more helpful advice.

I have this problem too. Like Ravenwood, when I was a child I would eat breakfast (usually cereal) and my stomach would growl in school by mid morning. It was embarassing and I remember trying to tighten up my abdominal muscles in order to try and stop it.

Now, when I get glutened (by CC), I get the rumbling, along with cramping and D.

I don't know how to stop them, only prevent them by being completely gluten-free.

I get this from eggs. Took me a very long time to make the connection. Mostly it would be when I was on vacation and eating differently than at home. Often I would have a muffin or donut because they were free. I thought it was the sugar in them or something that was making me feel so bad.

Then when my daughter was diagnosed with food allergies, I stopped eating eggs. The problem went away. Then I got some egg salad one day and it started up again, followed by my being violently ill.

I can remember it happening at work, but I can't remember what I ate on those days. Could have been boiled eggs or egg noodles or something else with eggs in it.

I just went to the allergist and she said what I have is not an allergy but I clearly can't eat eggs, dairy or almonds without a problem.

Again more sympathy.....I have the same issue. It is so much better now that I have been gluten free for over a year, but that is my telltale sign that I have been glutened. It sometimes happens when I consumer dairy as well. I do take a probiotic daily as a way to maintain balance in my gut. That seems to help.

Mine does it too, on a regular basis (I'm not gluten free - yet). My family members say things like "the aliens are talking again" or "are you hungry already?" (just depends on who it is).

The most horrifying incident was when I was in a staff meeting, and my boss finished talking about one subject, and was in that dead silence before beginning the next subject........"grblglgrlrohl" (or something like that). Thankfully it was right before lunch and I was able to play it off - but it wasn't because I was hungry!

I feel for ya too!

It always happens at the worst time doesn't it?

It really does!

I just remembered another horrifying incident, but this one is really funny, looking back. I was mortified at the time.

My daughter was probably 3 or so, and we were at a restaurant........she hears the grumblies and mistakes it for something else. At the top of her lungs "Oh my gosh mommy did you just FART?!" :lol:

Yeah, I get these too. I am really dreading having to sit in a very quiet place with someone, or in class.

I get this, but not from gluten. I get it when I eat beans. We've established that beans are not allowed on work nights..............

That must explain my own recent grumblings this week.

      Elimination diet think I may be Gluten tolerant next steps to get tested? Questions

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      Thanks so much for the useful information. What do you mean by invasive, expensive procedure that has some medical risks attached to it, what risks? It appears to be like colonoscopy just other end but never had one so curious in case I need one what to expect thanks

      The other thing to understand is that if the blood antibody testing is negative, it is most likely that the endoscopy/biopsy will also be negative. The blood tests are checking for antibodies from the damage caused by celiac inflammation. The biopsy is checking optically for the same damage. If there are no antibodies being produced then there is no damage happening. In either case, a gluten challenge would be necessary.

      Technically speaking, the blood test is not required before the endoscopy/biopsy but you may have a hard time finding a physician willing to do an endoscopy/biopsy without it having been preceded by positive celiac blood antibody test scores. Positive antibody test scores provide the justification for going forward with an invasive, expensive procedure that has some medical risks attached to it, especially since the gluten free diet is the antidote for both celiac disease and NCGS. We sometimes do see endoscopies/biopsies to check for celiac disease without positive biopsies but only when there is obvious failure to thrive for no other apparent reason and the patient has deteriorated to the point where it has become life threatening. We also see it sometimes done incidentally when checking for other GI-related medical problems. In your case, there is no obvious reason to suspect celiac disease as opposed to NCGS as all your general lab work values are fine. You just have some GI distress associated with gluten. There is no evidence at this point to suggest that you are suffering from malabsorption. NCGS is 10x more common than celiac disease.

      @LeeRoy83, what RMJ is referring to is the test for IGA deficiency, often called "total IGA". It is not a celiac diagnostic test per se. However, if this test score is low (i.e., you are IGA deficient), the celiac IGA test scores cannot be trusted as they will be artificially low which may include false negatives. Possibly, RMJ is correct. But I'm looking at the list of terminologies employed for the various tests as laid out in this article:  For the IGA deficiency test, here is the list: Other Names for the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test: Immunoglobulin A (IgA) Test Total IgA Test Serum IgA Test IgA Serum Levels Test IgA Blood Test IgA Quantitative Test IgA Antibody Test IgA Immunodeficiency Test None of those match very well with the test score you posted which is the "Tissu (Sic) transglutaminase IgA" which lends itself to the acronym, TTG-IGA.

      is Kirkland Imported French Brie gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In general, and I've visited many boutique cheese manufacturing facilities here in Sonoma County, CA, there is no wheat anywhere near them. Dairies generally don't process wheat products, and in cheese making cleanliness is next to godliness--they tend to keep things very clean to the point of sterile so their cheeses won't get contaminated with bacteria that might ruin them.
