I Am New To Pancratic Enzymes And Recently Started Rotational Diet?

I recently started rotational diet, pancreatic enzymes, and vitamin B 12. Sorry all of you scientific people to start 3 things at once, but that is where I am at.

1 My tummy is noisy, noisy, noisy.

2 I am experiencing some pain in the lower abdomen.

3 My pants are getting too short. Okay, what I think I mean is that I am losing tummy and must pull the pants farther up to compensate for it. I don't think I have lost weight. The inches are only down to my lowest normal level.

4. . I had been tending toward diarreah since going gluten free. I was really constipated a couple of days.

5. My head seems clear day after day, except when I had a very constipated day once. Then after I got cleaned out, I feel really good for a while.

6. Sometimes, I feel very unusally well, extremely well, is more like it. Don't get me giddy!

7. Sometimes I think I am surely dying.

8. I felt ticklish for the first time in years.

I have double checked all of the new supplements for gluten and they all check out. I am wondering if I am now feeling pain, because I am not so numb as I was. I have been surprized on the forum when people talked about a painful expereience. I bloated 9 inches overnight once, but felt no pain whatsoever. That is one of the reasons that I went 30 years undiagnosed. I couldn't feel what was happening to me.

Various stages of inflammation can cause all of this.

The only thing I can suggest is don't change too much too quickly or you will never know which change is helping or conversely -- hurting.

I don't know what pancreas thing you are on. I tried one called Pancreatin. Someone told me they thought I should try it and stupidly I did, even though I didn't think that I had pancreas symptoms. That stuff made me sooo sick to my stomach! After taking it for a week, I had to stop. Then my stomach got a lot better.

I had a nutrient blood test and was found short of pancreatic enzymes, so that is why I decided to take them. I am almost certainly swollen, but have been arguing with my doctors about it. I say swollen, but they just say I am the shape I am! I didn't get a marker test for swelling. I keep wondering if I "should" look emaciated, but I am not. I haven't been absorbing well.

I have failed every blood test for inflammation my entire life - yet when I am in a state of healing I look 20 pounds lighter over night and my joint pain disappears - bloating returns and so does pain - i dont just mean abdominal bloat - i bloat everywhere yet docs always told me my weight is simply a matter of calories in - calories out. This is untrue in a body in constant AI crisis.

Supplements can be helpful, but too many can be harsh on an already inflammed digestive system.

Should add each of my four endos show severe inflammation - sed and crp do not show the entire picture of inflammation in your body.

      Oh, @Yaya! Five years???  How awful for you to suffer so long! My Vitamin D came up in a matter of months.  High dose Vitamin D has been used in the past to correct rickets and is a safe method to correct Vitamin D deficiency.   I took 1000 IU several times a day, every day for several weeks.  I ate them like m&m's when I was severely deficient.  My brain craved them.  I felt so much better afterwards.  On maintenance dose now.  Yes, the craving went away as my level reached 80-95.   Ask your cardiologist about supplementing with.Benfotiamine.

      @CeliacPsycho246, My OCD symptoms resolved after I took supplements of the active form of Pyridoxine B6 called P5P and L-Theanine, an amino acid.   Pyridoxine B6 is absorbed from foods or supplements and then must be changed to its active form.  P5P is the active form.  Inflammation and malabsorption can impede this process.  Taking the active form is beneficial because it is ready to be used immediately.   L-Theanine is a natural amino acid that helps immensely with anxiety.   Together these two supplements really work to relieve OCD. I like Life Extension brand of P5P, but there are others that are labeled gluten free, too.  L-Theanine is found in chocolate, but as much as I love chocolate, Theanine  supplements work better.   Hope you are open to trying these as a stop-gap until your doctor's appointment.  Keep us posted on your results.

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      One positive blood test result means you likely have celiac disease, but to confirm it they may want to do an endoscopy to verify it with biopsies. Unless you have severe symptoms now, you likely should continue eating gluten daily until all testing is completed, and should eat tons of gluten daily in the 2 weeks before an endoscopy.
