Pain relief? Gluten free for 1 year, not helping with Celiac Disease?

I am having stomach pain, upper abdomal pain and stomach stabbing pain, almost 85% of the time. I have Celiac Disease and have benn gluten-free for 1 year and lactose free for 2 months. Help! Any ideas other than cross-contaimination?

my daughter is celiac also and has this problem when she eats corn.
Many celiacs are okay with corn but corn does have a type of gluten in it and is a high allergen. Many gluten free mixes contain corn flour/ meal

If you are not already off of corn I would suggest taking a couple of months and eliminating all forms of corn- corn syrup, corn starch, etc.
When you reintroduce it, try to find organic, non GMO and if possible soaked - this helps to make it a lot easier to digest.
Once you are off of corn and reintroduce it you should be able to tell if there is a corn allergy or intolerance.


Another suggestion is to make sure you are rotating the grains you are consuming and not overloading on any one grain.

One more thing would be , many who are dairy free wind up using soy milk and consuming a lot of soy- soy is a high allergen also and should be used in moderation and rotated out- try , if you are on soy, eliminating soy for a bit then rotating rice milk , almond milk and coconut milk in with your soy.

If it is celiac disease related, then check the foods you are eating for hidden gluten. Is there soy sauce listed in the ingredients- some labels list soy sauce but don't break out that there is wheat or gluten in it. Try eating things with only a few ingredients in them so that you are only dealing with as few variables as possible. Keep a food and drink log for a month with a section for symptoms and see if you have worse problems after consuming particular things.
It is possible that you are having a problem with some other food or that you have another condition on top of the celiac.
I wonder if a Prilosec taken everyday would help?
Sorry I can't be of more help and I suppose your doctors haven't got any suggestions either.
Good luck and I wish I could be of more assistance.

I just read a little more in a book called Celiac Disease - A Hidden Epidemic by Dr Green and discovered something I hadn't seen before. He says that in some patients, the inflammation in the intestines may be so great that steroids may be required to reduce the inflammation and give the new gluten free diet a chance to work. So you may want to discuss the possibility of taking prednisone or medrol for a month or two with your doctor and see if that helps.

Have you been checked for an ulcer? When you have Celiac Disease, it is easy to think every problem is related to that but it might not be.
I'm with the other poster - take Prilosec or Zantac daily for a while to see if it helps but only after making sure it it GF. I also agree that you need to keep looking for hidden sources of gluten. Are you sure all your meds are GF?

That sounds a lot like what I get if I eat cornflour (cornstarch) or corn syrup (like coffee whitener). It's hard when I go into an office and am offered a coffee i must seem a real fussy Mary, because I have to say "Is it real milk, because I'm allergic to the whitener?" I can tell they don't believe me, lol. But I canna stand the pain when I drink coffee with whitener in it! I'm doubled up. It's terrible. Funny, though. I can eat Real Foods Corn Thins, sweetcorn and popcorn without a problem. Maybe it's the processing...
