Solid Stool Followed Later By D

I'm pretty puzzled and need help. Over the last week or so I have a solid stool in the morning and it is later followed several times by loose stools or D. I'm starting an elimination diet because I think I am now reacting to lactose and eggs. But why in the world would I be regular in the morning and have trouble later?

I am almost certain this is not a gluten issue because even the most minor symptoms, and I can count 37 that I am sure of, of glutening are not present.

Need to ask too - what are the safest foods I can eat before reintroducing others into my diet?

Are you taking any medication in the mornings or something like that? I only ask because I'd been having stomach pains and feeling breathless for a couple of weeks, mainly during the afternoons/evenings. Forgot to take probiotic/multivit one day, felt more or less ok (no breathlessness anyway) and haven't taken it since because of this. Stomach feeling better now but not brilliant, and no breathlessness since then.

Hope you find whatever it is that's causing the problem (and hope it's nothing that you really enjoy too)

No meds, but started taking a probiotic about a week ago. Have cut all vitamins even though they are gluten free. I do drink coffee in the morning.

The probiotic coincides with the diarrhoea starting? Maybe stop for a few days see if it improves without that :)

I will eliminate the probiotics too. Wow, so much to learn!

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      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.
