Constipation


Alixx

Recommended Posts

My (Company Name Removed - They Spammed This Forum and are Banned) blood test indicated that I have an "extreme intolerance" to gluten, although they say that the test does not definitively diagnose celiac disease, only food intolerances

I have frequent constipation with hard stools that are hard to pass

Can hard stools or constipation in general be caused by gluten intolerance?

My doctor has told me that constipation is not usually related to celiac disease but that diarrhea is usually the main symptom. I am also not able to find any reliable information on the web relating constipation with gluten intolerance or celiac disease.

Welcome to the forum Alixx.

Constipation is a symptom for many people. It surely was for my son and I. We were negative for celiac, so we just call it gluten intolerance.

If you search 'celiac disease and constipation' you will find many things to read.

Also weight loss is a classic symptom, but many people are overweight when they are diagnosed. It would not hurt to have the celiac testing done and then you could try gluten-free for a few months and see if it helps.

Yes, my daughter had constipation for as far back as I can remember. 24 hrs gluten-free and it was 100% improved!

Constipation was a major issue for me. It was directly related to being celiac, and is now one of the first problems I have if I get contaminated.

      I'm pretty sure that in stores, you can find plenty of gluten-free options. But they are usually a bit more expensive.

      Hello @BunnyBrown and welcome to the forum. I cannot say that I have had the procedure you describe, but recently I did have general surgery and was routinely intubated.  That pain was what troubled me most after the operation, far more than the operation site.  It took a few days to really settle down, I was quite badly bruised. It was taking so long I was a bit concerned so asked the question on another forum. A few patients came back to me and said they had suffered the same.  I imagine in my own case possibly the throat got bashed about a bit,  maybe they had difficult inserting the tube?  I've suffered with a painful throat post-endoscopy too, but never as long as the intubation pain.   I hope you will be feeling better very soon.   PS BTW - love the name!  I saw this today in an Easter display in a shop and your name reminded me of it.🙂

      This wonderful, Anne. I think you have a point about why people disappear off forums.  I found the first few years post diagnosis a real struggle and frankly wondered if I would ever feel better (not to dishearten people, but just to say it can take a while longer for some folk to heal).  However, once my antibodies were back within normal range it really has made a big difference to my health.  I've chosen to stick around because I'm a Mod, otherwise I might have been one of those that disappeared, too!
