Did anyone develop gluten intolerance?

Hi I'm Patty and for almost a year I've had terrible gas and burping...The doctor has tried antibiotics and gas x and beano.  I added on pro-biotics.  My friend thinks I may have gluten intolerance.  I've looked at the symtoms and low and behold some do look similar.  I'm trying to cut out the glutens now until my doctor gets back in town..to see if it helps.  Take care and thanks for answering.  Patty

Hi Patty!  I haven't had surgery yet, but I do currently havw a gluten intolerance.  I was diagnosed with it about this time last year and have been doing pretty good.  I tend to react more to certain types of glutens.  For example, medications that have gluten in them just kill me...gas, vomiting and diarrhea ect.  And a slice of bread will do the same thing.  But if I have a small amount like in a taco seasoning packet, I tend to be okay.  If you have any questions or need any ideas, please feel free to send me a message and I'll try to help as much as I can.  

Possibly...been having GI issues for 2 years now...went to GI doc...colonoscopy clear and Celiac test came back negative...also was given antibiotics...just in case it was an over growth causing the issue. I've been taking Align for about 3 months...and still having issues. Trying to go gluten free is next up on my own list...not per a doctor.

Sarah I've had the antibiotics too thinking an overgrowth.  By chance did you take Cipro for a urinary infection before this started?  I fart and fart and burp and burp and it's not encouraging you've been going thru this for 2 years..In Oct it will be a year for me.  I'm taking Align, Gas advantage from Walmart and culturelle.  Those are the probiotics.  I'm trying to cut the glutens..I'm on day 2!  It's hard but if I can get thru a church service without feeling like a blown up balloon it will be worth it.  I'm hoping this is it but if not it could be C-Diff from the antibiotic.  I'm an RN  and this is a killer for working...I retired and that's when it all started.  It's making me a bit crazy...I go between diarrhea and constipation too!  The gluten is the Celiac thing..maybe you are just a little gluten intolerant.  I know my first dumping was 1 1/2 years out with 12 triscuits and 2 hrs later I sweat up and down my body between my toes...my husband thought I was dying.  I went to the doc and they didn't know..but Andrea did she said maybe you dumped.  I had never dumped before so fought it but it was true.  Take care patty

I've been on just about EVERY antibiotic there is...yes, Cipro many many times, but none around the time this started or since...most of antibiotics was 2002-2006 for cellulitis in my legs, then I had a pretty bad infection after hernia/panni...was on Zyvox...Zocin...isn't Zyvox the BIG GUN?? I think I've been on them all...lol. And here is what I do not get at all...usually greasy food makes me 'dump' later...as would high sugar like ice cream...nothing immediate but it wouldn't make a nice exit. So why...why then did I have not a good day of eating yesterday well lunch was BBQ...not really bad...but that sauce has sugar...then dinner was shared chicken wings with friends...BF gets upset tummy from the grease (he's non wls)...but me ...I'm doing BETTER...no issues at all yesterday...or last night...or this morning...WTH??? I'm currently unemployed and I do wonder how the heck I could deal with this on the job, my last job I was the "boss" of the office/area so I could excuse myself from the office for extended period of time if needed....student workers didn't know if I was stopping to talk to someone, etc.

I had ONE count one good day since this all started.  It tricked me into thinking I finally found the right thing.  Gas Advantage supposed to stop it ...it's a probiotic...then that night it started again.  The Really weird thing and I don't know if it happens to you is when I go to bed it stops...it's crazy and then I'm up about an hour and drinking my coffee and it starts with burping then later farting (flatulence).  You had a test for C Diff and that wasn't it?  I'm on day 3 of no gluten...sauce BBQ has gluten's in it.  Lunch meat it's crazy.  Your BF might be having trouble with his gall bladder that's why the fat bothers him.  Oh and beer has gluten but not wine...crazy huh.  I usually dump 2 hrs after I eat the offending item.  Things are crazy..I'm burping now to beat the band.  Take care and lets be friends and see if we find anything that might help!  patty

I told him that this morning...he's lost about 150lbs on his own, my sister lost over 100lb on WW and had to have her GB removed. Mine was removed with my RNY. I notice when I am out and about it doesn't always happen, but when I'm home it will...and so I thought oh because I'm probably grazing at home...but nope not today...just reg meal and still issues. I was given diclomine or something for spasms...that helps...because sometimes I just "feel" like I still need to go but nothing happens, and if I do ignore the urge it goes away...but I feel like if I take the pills too often it stops not just the spasms but normal movement.

Definitely. I think a lot of the gas issues we all have are most likely from a gluten intolerance, not really a carb reaction. I have cut way back on gluten and do much better from a gas standpoint. Pasta bothers me terribly, but if I use a gluten free pasta I am fine. I also tolerate rice cakes fine, as well as popcorn and potato chips because none of those contain gluten. Not that I live on junkfood like that but I can eat it without gas problems. I also stay away from lactose as that bothers me a lot too. Ice cream nearly kills me, which is a major bummer in the summer time!

I'm on day 2 of cutting the glutens out.  I pray this will solve my problem but nothing yet.  I fart and fart and burp and burp and have diarrhea intermittent with constipation.  It's so crazy.  I've looked at my protein shakes and low and behold they have malt.  I couldn't believe it.  I'm trying meat and veggies for a while and nuts when I need a snack or dried cherries or fruit.  This is the craziest thing.  I never had this problem when I was fat.  I know I don't tolerate carbo's well.  My dumping is usually on carbo's like crackers and not sugar!  Thanks for answering Wanda...I really appreciate it!  I miss ice cream too!  Love Patty

How long did it take before you stopped farting and burping on gluten cut back?  I'm on day 3 and nothing yet!  Patty
