Frequent Urination

I have noticed that since being diagnosed and going gluten free that I will have time where I will go to the bathroom and then it might be 1 or 2 minutes later that I feel like I need to go again. And its not just felling like I have to go its eyes floating and can't hardly get back there in time. It seems to happen more in the mornings than later in the day. And it doesn't happen all the time, sometimes 3 or four days a week. Could this be to a diet change or possibly something else going on?

I would probably ask a Dr to do a urinalysis and culture to rule out a silent urinary tract infection and a test to rule out diabetes if I had not been tested recently. It seems seems possible also that your body is storing too much water as you are resting and when you become more active it is excreted by your kidneys. There is usually a small weight loss when the body excretes excess fluids. Our bodies go through a variety of changes when we go gluten free but if this uncomfortable situation persists then getting it checked out might save you from having future problems.

your body could be cleansing and if you drink the daily amount of water it might be going through you faster because its cleansing you. but it also sounds like a urinary tract infection so i would suggest getting that tested first.

Have you been tested for diabetes or a uti? That would be my first step. Also, have you made other dietary changes besides the gluten?

You should always get examined by a doctor if there is any chance you could be getting a Urinary Track Infection (UTI). Men usually wait too long and it turns into a kidney infection. Symptoms which will be a high fever, back pain (kidneys), frequent and burning urination.

There is where just starting a gluten free diet can cause a person to get constipated. The packed bowels puts pressure that 1 makes you feel like you have to go and 2 makes it nearly impossible to completely empty your bladder. So you can be on your way to having a UTI because of constipation from not replacing the fiber you ate in gluten food.

thanks for the advice I will check withthe Dr. to see what is going on. And I can see where constipation comes in I have been having that problem as well. I aslo have quit eating any processed meats and also no nuts or seeds because of diverticulitus. Also dairy free due to lactose intollerence.

And if you come up clear for any kind of UTI or diabetes? A few of us also have a frequent urge to pee as a sign of low level gluten cc. I've not seen this listed in any literature, so I'm not sure the cause, but it has been a topic a couple times here at celiac.com, and there are others who have experienced the same thing.

I always test negative for UTI's and other infections, and diabetes, but I still feel like I have to pee all the time for days after I get low level gluten cc. Quite annoying, isn't it?

I began doing that and notice I did it on certain foods like tomatoes. I later learned I have an intolerance to tomatoes.

      And I’m anaemic, however I’m also female and vegetarian. I had an iron trans a couple of years ago however it’s starting to dwindle and taking supplements doesn’t seem to work. I can’t seem to absorb it.

      Lymph nodes

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy.

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.
