Hi,

I am new to this forum and had a blood test and biopsy that can back negative for celiac, but have stomach pain, indigestion/gastritis, headaches and decided to go gluten free to see what might happen and the stomach pains and headaches have been gone after 2 months gluten-free but still some indigestion/gastritis so trying by suggestions from others to take aloe vera juice daily as well as probiotics to help the gastritis. Has anyone else gone gluten free with out celiac diagnosis who has had similar symptoms and has the gluten free diet helped? Has anyone else had problems with gastritis that has cleared up by going gluten free or used other remedies to help their gastritis? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I am self dx'd. Most all my problems and symptoms have cleared up on the gluten-free diet. I don't know if I had gastritis but my dr said I had GERD. The only time I have any discomfirt now is if I eat too many alternate grains. I feel the best grain free. I eat only a little now.

If your still having problems, you may have another sensitivity like to dairy. Have you limited dairy? Many with celiac disease cannot tolerate dairy for the first few months. Some can add it back later some cannot.

I have eliminated most dairy products and when I do consume dairy it does not bother me, in other words the indigestion can occur on days when I have not consume any dairy or soy for that matter. Just not sure

if it may take time for the indigestion to clear up.

      Gluten free vitamins

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I have concerns about the calcium supplementation as well. Sounds like a good idea on the surface if you are trying to address bone density issues but when overdone it can have the opposite effect. Calcium supplementation increases gut PH (i.e., lowers gut acidity) which can interfere with vitamin and mineral (including calcium itself) absorption. Often, bone demineralization is not due to lack of calcium intake but to low gut acidity. This is why you will often see calcium supplement products paired with vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Drinking OJ or tomato juice along with the calcium supplement can help with this as they are acidic juices. Calcium supplementation can also contribute to plaque arterial buildup I believe. I think it might be best to focus on rich natural sources of calcium.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      In that case if you answer "no" does that mean the chef doesn't have to be as diligent?  If you ask for "pork free" do they ask if it is an allergy too? How's this for an answer: "I get violently sick if I eat wheat, barley or rye"?

      I order my vitamins from Pipingrock.com. They also make Cream of Rice.  Clearly marked gluten free. Right next to the Cream of Wheat. Stoneyfield Whole Milk Yogurt will help repoputate your gut bacteria.  It has lactase so is ok for lactose intolerance. 6 ounces has 210 mg calcium. For magnesium I get the 10 ounce bottle of liquid Magnesium Citrate at the supermarket or drugstore ($3).  One or two ounces of it  in a glass of water.  Add ice and sugar if you like.  I like the Cherry or Grape best. Instead try: Cream of Rice, Cheese and Good Thins (rice crackers), scrambled eggs and gluten free toast. Do you need Calcium supplement?  Calcium from supplements can cause hypercalcemia, a condition that can lead to serious health complications.  Vitamin D increases calcium absorption.  Monitor 25)(OH)D vitamin D plasma and  parathyroid hormone (PTH).

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life. The vitamin or mineral you are targeting is always chemically combined with other elements to make them into a dispensable form (such as a powder, liquid or a pill) and to give them some chemical stability for shelf life.
