Poop

I was diagnosed with Celiac disease 6 weeksish ago, after 6 months of pain. My poop, is still constipated and it has white things in it. I was thinking could it be gluten being wiped out of my body?

 

I KNOW ITS TOO MUCH INFO but we all poop.

Gluten doesn't linger in your body waiting to be pooped out.

It can takes months or longer to heal your intestines. You also have to consider that you are eating differently - maybe more fiber? Or less fiber? Or more fat? etc. Even if your body has healed, the whole system may still be off and probiotics may help that.

I take probiotics. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, that isn't gluten coming out.  It may be mucus, which can happen around stool when you are very constipated as it irritates the GI tract.  Probiotics alone are probably not enough for the constipation.  Take a look at the links below for some ideas on foods that may assist in loosening things up gently.  Also, a fiber supplement or even foods like prunes can help.  Eat your fruits and veggies, limit things like processed foods, dairy/cheese, and choose whole grains over white grains.  For example, brown rice and brown rice pasta over their white rice counterparts.  If you don't get a lot of fiber in your diet, do add it gradually, as the initial phase of getting out the old leftover constipated stuff can cause some discomfort.  Prunes are my magic cure for chronic constipation (we call it "C" around here, lol) and if you want to try that out, just eat 1-2 a day, then you can kind of go by how easy the go is to figure out how many is a good number to eat each day.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
