(I'm new here, so I hope you don't mind me joining the conversation...)

All I gotta say is that you're all friggin awesome! (Funny, too)

I think most people would read a page like this and think you're all crazy... I know some people who don't even look after going. I thought I was a bit strange, since I have a flashlight in the bathroom drawer just to make sure I get a good look at it. (I've never told anyone else that, either)

I've been trying to figure things out with my doctor, and all I can think about is "If only I could get someone to look at this crap... 'cause that is NOT NORMAL!" But I think my doc would be rather grossed out if I were to bring in pictures. So I just keep going, and wondering why I keep flushing away all the evidence...

Looking at that Bristol scale, I've had more than 1 type in the same sitting. Complete with mucous, too. But then again, there's always mucous. So I don't know what that's all about...

Has anyone ever shown a pic to someone? I'd imagine to the trained eye, that'd be quite helpful in identifying things, but there just doesn't seem to be anyone to show 'em to.

I don't think you need pictures, I've gotten a good idea of what you're seeing just from your post! :lol:

Weclome to the conversation ... you are supposed to jump right in!

Oh, and Lister, congrats on being normal! :P

Welcome! Yup, things get kinda crazy here sometimes...

But, just to let you know, I too examined my poop with a flashlight, so I would know EXACTLY what to tell my GI. Photographs were too gross, so I had to give him a nice, verbal picture.

It was kind of exciting to see normal poop come back, like seeing a long-lost friend..... :rolleyes:

My husband tells me those exact words all the time ... "You are one sick individual!" And, he's always complained about my family's fascination with poop. Funny that no one else considers they may have a gluten problem with all this bm talk!

You think we are sick, there is a website my brother-in-law told us about called ratemypoo ... it's really sick. Don't see the purpose to it at all!

I'm in mourning for my normal stools... :P:(:)

I was at the point early this year that I was mostly feeling good, and my stools were of the 3 and 4 variety... and now I'm back to a wide variety again, if you know what I mean... Blaah. If i get back to normal, I'm definitely going to celebrate! :D

I have taken pics of Curran's poops in the past and have yet to actually show the pics to anyone. When I felt that 2 months of diarrhea blowouts of 10 to 15 times a day was likely NOT toddlers tummy I decided to get my point across the old fashioned way as describing it to the ped was obviously not working. So I scraped a tablespoon of it out of the diaper (he was 2 years old then) and put it in a plastic bag. Then another plastic bag and another and then into the diaper bag. You could smell me coming and the ped was appalled by it and the smell. Got me the start of testing back then and a our first referral to a GI (unfortunately he was an idiot). The point is that a picture may be worth a thousand words but one tablespoon of the stuff made everyone in the office gag and wish they could open the windows! :lol: Trust me, I have done this a few times now and I always seem to get processed a bit quicker and also it drives home that I am NOT exaggerating about it. ;)

How about this name for the poop pictures... Its a crap shoot?

      Do you have online access to your celiac panel test results such that you could post them? tTG-IGG is kind of a secondary test. A weak positive in that one could indicate celiac disease but since it isn't as specific a marker as the tTG-IGA it is not real convincing. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) for which there is no test. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. It is 10x more common than celiac disease and shares many of the same symptoms. Some experts believe it can be a precursor to celiac disease. The antidote for both is the same: total avoidance of gluten.

      I haven't been on this forum for a long time, but it was absolutely wonderful during the diagnostic process!  My path for celiac disease diagnosis was the following: -Had normal IgA level, and my only serology positive test was the DGP IgG -Deficiencies in both Vitamins D and K that did not increase at first despite massive supplementation -Diagnosis of fat malabsorption both total and neutral -Diagnosis of severe exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) -Testing was completed to rule out causes of EPI, and the only one not ruled out was celiac. -Both traditional endoscopy and pill capsule endoscopy yielded negative results for biopsy confirmation, but my GI doctor said that both procedures simply could have missed the damaged spots. -EPI and fat malabsorption resolved after taking Creon for 6 months since my EPI was caused by celiac -23 and Me said I don't have either of the two prominent genes for celiac disease   Remember that you might not have 'textbook' symptoms, but you still may have celiac disease.   Also, I am SO incredibly grateful for this site for all the learning it has allowed me to do. I have a senior dog, and these last few weeks with her were very scary! After two hospital stays, she finally received an IBD diagnosis after having gastroenteritis and pancreatitis. I know that celiac disease is not IBD, however, through reading this site, I learned more about it. I was relieved when I found out she had IBD and not cancer this past Wednesday. I know IBD can be managed thanks to what I've learned here!  So celiac.com, not only did you help me, but you helped my pup too! Thank you ❤️

      It was tTG IGG that was flagged high. I'm not sure about the other stuff. I'm still eating my normal stuff.

      Thank you for your post, @Nedast, and welcome to the forum. It is interesting to read of your experiences. Although I've not had TMJ, from time to time I have had a bit of mild pain in my jaw, sharp stabbing pains and tingling in my face which appears to have been caused by issues with my trigeminal nerve.  I read that sometimes a damaged trigeminal nerve in coeliacs can heal after adopting a gluten free diet.  I try to keep out of cold winds or wear a scarf over my face when it is cold and windy, those conditions tend to be my 'trigger' but I do think that staying clear of gluten has helped.  Also, sleeping with a rolled up towel under my neck is a tip I picked up online, again, that seems to bring benefits. Thank you again for your input - living with this sort of pain can be very hard, so it is good to be able to share advice.
