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!

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By trents · Posted

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one. "Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.
