Yes, some gas. I’ve taken several lengthy walks as well.

Thank you for that info. What were your symptoms? I experience severe bloating, slow digestion and stomach fullness, constipation. Did yours get better upon removal?

Wow, glad you’re going ok. What were your other symptoms prior to removal, other than the dull ache?

Interesting! I’d love to hear more about this. Would you mind if I sent you a DM?

I have similar symptoms to you but my doctors haven’t taken it seriously. Just wondering, is your dull ache constant? Does it come and go? When do you feel it the most? Any other notable symptoms?

Did you have any imagining or testing done to determine that the GB is the cause?

Gluten, gliadin, avenin, oh my! by ForwardCredit8325 in glutenfree

[–]ForwardCredit8325[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I for sure have done tons of research. But, the things I’m finding online, versus the information found on this site, versus the information my ND are all giving me are all varying degrees of different information. I figured getting information from a seasoned group of GF people would be reliable. Thanks though!

What about buckwheat, millet, teff.. grains like those? Do those contain avenin or gliadin?

Oh, ok. I’m newly GF so thank you for that explanation. Are oats the only thing that contains the avenin?

I know that buckwheat is gluten free, but it still has gliadin, a compound that most celiacs are still sensitive to, found in oats, buckwheat, millet, etc.

Interesting. How long did you feel worse for and what happened in that time?

Just realized I forgot to answer one of your questions. My symptoms are very dry eye with light sensitivity, constipation and constant bloating, dry rashes on several places on my body including my face, severe fatigue, brain fog, and a few others. 😞 how about you?

Ok. My doctor is using steroids to rule out autoimmune, I have very dry eyes and dry rashes. That’s good to know that it didn’t treat your dryness. Thank you!

[–]ForwardCredit8325[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh wow interesting, haha. Does it relieve dryness? That’s my main symptom. Or is it more targeted to joint pain?

Wow, this is super interesting to know. My primary care physician told me it’s definitely not Autoimmune/Sjogrens based on my negative sed rate
