Seems like Celiac

Digestive health
1

Hi all,

Don't know if I have Celiac but for the last few weeks I have extreme bloating in my chest after every meals. I have been eating mostly veggies but during the day I eat gluten items like applesauce, lactose milk and aloe and apple juice. I seem to not be able to belch and it gives me great pain. I eat very little because I have complete throat dryness which makes it difficult for me to to swallow. At night my left arm and both hands tingel. I have suffered from fatigue for years but always thought it was because I did too much. Now the only time I feel better is if I sleep it off but it only last til my next meal. I've lost alot of weight and have noticed that my stool is pale. For more than 10 yrs I suffered from diarrhea but thought it was due to stress but now I'm not so sure. Can someone share their experiences with Celiac and if veggies and lactose is harmful? Also if it causes spasms in the esphogas. Thank you

Gluten found in a range of grains such as wheat, barley and rye.  Unless products from these, such as wheat flour, are used in the items that you are eating or drinking then you are not consuming any gluten so coeliac disease is unlikely to be your problem.  It would be best to discuss your symptoms with a medical professional because it looks as though you have some sort of food intolerance.
