Gas And Bad Breath

Oak

Recommended Posts

I've got few questions. But first, my story.

I was self-diagnosed with gluten intolerance. I always had a lot of gas and bad breath. I began diet with no gluten and no simple sugars. Flatulance problems was reduced to minimum and my bad breath got better. Breath is not good now, but definitely better. I have no other problems. I can gain weight with no problems, I have no brainfog, joint pains, stomach pain, problems with D or constipation. I am like totally healthy person,but when I'm on normal diet I have flatulance and bad breath.

So there are my questions:

1)Bad breath is not common symptom of celiac disease/gluten intolerance.Do you think that I can be gluten intolerant when I don't have common symptoms?

2)Does anyone has bad breath problems,which dissapeared after going gluten-free?

3)I've got white tongue. I always had. Diet didn't help me with this yet. Tongue is still white. I thought that when I improve my digestion, white coating will dissapear. I can't scrape it off. It don't hurt. I don't have any white patches in mouth also, so I don't think it's oral thrush. Can be white tongue symptom of celiac disease?

PS: I tried also low sugar diet with gluten. When I was sugar-free and gluten-free everything was fine. Then I started to eat gluten(whole grain rolls) for some time, my flatulence went back. Then I cut it out, and flatulance went away.

Thanks a lot

Those were my main symptoms as well.

That I have have Celiac was highly suggested by blood work, and confirmed with a biopsy.

Both of those symptoms went away with going gluten-free, and how I can tell if I ate something with gluten. For me it they also occurred when I tried to eat oats, that were certified gluten free, so I don't eat oats either.

Yes, and they come back right away if I eat something I shouldn't have. (Unfortunately I usually can't tell what the culprit was. It rarely happens, and usually it has been after eating at someone else's house.)

Gas, bloating, white tongue and halitosis can all be indicative of systemic Candida. Certain foods, definitely carbs (sugar, grains and starches), can feed the little beggars.

You may want to add more fruits and veggies to your diet and see if your white tongue disappears.

I used to have a white tongue before going gluten-free, and now it's gone. I don't know if it is related, though...

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Weird Symptoms

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.
