Celiac and Gas

The gas is produced by bacteria and yeasts which are feeding on the partly digested food you ate. Gas from carbohydrates is not particularly smelly but gas ftom proteins and fats smells like rotten eggs. When peoople with CD go gluten free the intestinal tract goes through changes - it has to readjust to a different diet. Some people have more problems adjusting than others and gas is a common reaction. You could eat less protein and take digestive enzymes every time you eat. Probiotics will help repopulate your intestine with good bacteria - I use goat's milk yogurt but it has protein and fat - so capsules may be better for you. Some people have difficulty producing enough bile and pancreatic digestive enzymes while the autoimmune reaction subsides. If this persists you can be checked out for gall stones or do liver flushes (see Curezone Liver Flush Support Forum)
