As many as one in people worldwide have celiac disease, according to the Celiac Disease Foundation. If you're one of them, pasta can cause diarrhea, bloating and gas, Dr. Ivanina says.
Diagnosis starts with a simple, in-office blood test. If you have celiac disease and eat gluten, you will have higher than normal levels of certain antibodies in your blood. The only way to confirm a celiac diagnosis is with an intestinal biopsy, the Celiac Disease Foundation points out. However, non-celiac disease wheat allergy can also cause gut symptoms, as well as skin and breathing issues, Dr.
Wheat allergy may be confused with celiac disease, but they are separate conditions, the Mayo Clinic explains. If you have wheat allergy, you could be allergic to several proteins in wheat, including gluten. By contrast, with celiac disease, gluten is the sole offender.
You can also outgrow a wheat allergy, something that does not happen with celiac disease. Anyone want to give me a book deal? I have a 14 year old autistic son who had severe food intolerance St birth that landed him in special care. I have been diagnosed with cfs and fibromyalgia that fluctuates wildly.
Doctors described it as atypical as I can be superbly fit for ages then really ill and unable to walk due to severe ataxia and vertigo. Things deteriorated very badly recently. I then found that when I was diagnosed with fibro the specialist had advised the GP to test for coeliac antibodies, which they failed to do.
I switched to a gluten free diet as an experiment and the symptoms subsided hugely and within days. The GP is now testing both me and my son for coeliac but says that at the very least gluten intolerance is implicated. My other son suddenly developed severe allergies too. Shame nobody made the connection for so many years. I recently tested negative for celiac disease. But I keep getting bloated when eating ANY kind of bread, pasta, etc..
I do not know what to do or how to help myself. Please help me. See you doctor and ask about whether its worth trying a gluten free diet. Hi im 48 yrs old , when i eat food my stomach , swells either on tje ldeft or right. I then massage and and it moves.
I suffer from constipation, lately there was blood in my stool, but it has stopped certain cause me to have stomach cramps, Thks Rene;. Had a blood test today. Pains in tummy. Eat what makes you feel good. Cut out what makes you feel bad. Listen to your body. Over 8yrs ago I went to my doctor with this problem, whenever I ate bread, pasta, cakes, or sauces made with flour I would bloat out and look about 8months pregnant.
My hubby and children found it highly amusing that as I burped my stomach shrunk back to normal size, however the pain sometimes was excruciating. Doctor tested me for coeliac disease and when it came back negative he told me it must be IBS, I argued for months that it was not IBS but sadly was never given any acknowledgement to the fact that when I did not eat the above foods I would be absolutely fine.
Since then I have just managed myself to the best I can, however dinners out have been problematic and required me going home immediately after to deal with the onset issues that I knew would arise within a few hours. Finally you have given me a diagnosis that sounds so much like what I suffer with, now I can go to my new doctor and bring this to their attention and hopefully get on track to sorting myself out.
Thank you so much for this article. Student nurse. Hammersmith Books available on Amazon. Suffered for decades with these symptoms after eating — bloating, wind, extreme discomfort as stomach swelled up and felt like my insides were being squashed upwards through my throat.
Occurred around 2- 3 hours after eating and most painful phase lasted 3 hours before settling down. Doc diagnosed IBS and gave me a website to read up on it. Anyway, I recently had 2 weeks off bread, cakes, crisps biscuits, pasta, sandwiches, processed foods etc.
No symptoms, and the best weeks sleep i have had in years- I was literally a different person — reduced fatigue, happier etc.. Went out for a meal the weekend after and had a sticky toffee pudding — wham, bent double with the same disabling symptoms 2 hours after.
My only tip to help prevent symptoms at night is to eat a slice or 2 of lemon — peel, seeds and all — seems to kill off the reaction for me. Instead, the sugar passes undigested into the colon , where it is fermented by the "good" bacteria in your gut. Gas is produced as a byproduct of this process. Fermentation is a chemical process where microorganisms like gut bacteria break down sugars and starches in foods. Some people find relief from gas when they take an enzyme supplement such as Beano.
This product breaks down the sugars in beans to make them easier to digest. Mushrooms also contain sugars that are difficult to digest.
Therefore, eating mushrooms can cause gas because the small intestine does not fully digest these sugars. Instead, it undergoes fermentation in the large intestine. The gas produced by fermentation then exits as intestinal gas. Even so, mushrooms are a healthy food with disease-fighting properties. A study suggests eating more of them can significantly reduce the risk of developing cancer. So, unless eating them is too uncomfortable for you, it's likely best not to cut them out completely.
If you're one of the many lactose-intolerant adults, dairy products can cause a significant amount of gas and bloating. People who are lactose intolerant lack the enzyme lactase, which is necessary to break down lactose milk sugar. This results in gas and bloating, among other symptoms. Besides milk itself, dairy products such as ice cream, cheese, and yogurt contain lactose. In addition, there may be dairy ingredients in other products, so it's essential to read labels carefully.
You may find that taking lactase supplements helps reduce or prevent gas symptoms when you eat dairy. If you avoid dairy altogether, you will need to find other food sources for your daily calcium intake. Note that lactose intolerance is different than a true milk allergy. People with a milk allergy should avoid milk in any form at all times.
People don't often think of wheat as a food that causes gas. However, the starch in wheat creates gas when it is broken down in the large intestine by good bacteria. Whole wheat and bran, in particular, may be the culprits. Wheat also contains a natural sugar called fructose.
Any undigested fructose from wheat may ferment in the large intestine and lead to gas. Fruits are especially well-known for causing excess gas. The reason is that fruit like wheat contains fructose. Some common fruits that lead to gas include:. If you eat more fruit than your body can digest, your body breaks down the remaining fructose by fermentation.
This process can result in gas. These healthy vegetables are notorious for causing gas. That's because the small intestine does not completely digest the fiber in them.
The large intestine creates gas when the good bacteria go to work digesting these vegetables. Cruciferous vegetables include:. Eating small servings of these vegetables and increasing the amount slowly over time may help reduce the amount of gas they produce. Many foods labeled as "sugar-free" or "diet" often contain sweeteners such as xylitol , mannitol, sorbitol, or erythritol. These are naturally occurring sugar alcohols that are added to foods and drinks to make them sweeter.
When bacteria break these sugars down in the large intestine, gas results. If you're trying to avoid these sugars, it's important to read food labels closely.
High-fructose corn syrup can produce gas as your gut breaks down the fructose. Many sweetened drinks and sodas are made with high-fructose corn syrup instead of sugar.
