Poop Question

OKay, I have to ask this here cause my wife does not know the answer and I dont want to pay co-apy at my doc to find out a silly question like this. Since going back on gluten (for the test) I have notice that my poop floats now, and color shifts from brown to greenish to blackish. I can not see any odvious connection to what I ate that day since I typical eat about the same thing most of the time. For example I eat big bowl of Maple Brown Sugar Shredded Wheat for breakfast, for launch I have a sandwhich on whole weat (roastbeef, or somthing like that). Dinner is some form of protein, starch and a salad normall. Coffee and water make up almost all of my drinks.

So is that NORMAL or a sign of celiac disease? Or somthing else Ineed worry about? (cause, can never have enough to worry about!) :huh:

celiac disease, all the way. It floats because of the malabsorption of fats. One test that is sometimes used to dx celiac disease is fat content in stools. I wouldn't worry about it; when is your test?

You are probably asking the wrong bunch of people what is normal for poop! :D Yeah, if they used to sink and now float and are funny colors on gluten, I would say that is a strong indicator. I am surprised you were willing to go back on gluten. I don't think I could do it. My poop is different everyday after going gluten-free 4 months ago, but I have probably had accidents an not completely healed. Before going gluten-free, I thought everyones' floated!

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
