Constant Thirst...symptom?

Week 2 of gluten challenge and I noticed yesterday that I'ven been drinking lot more (water & caffiene free tea) the past couple days.  In the past couple years I have increased my water intake, intentionally, to 8-10 (8oz) cups a day.  Yesterday, I took in at least 16 cups. And I am still thirsty.  I haven't had "D" (usually more of a "C" girl), and don't seem to have more urine, plus, it's still yellow, not clear like one would expect after drinking 128 oz of non-caffinated beverages! (Sorry for the TMI).  Making me wonder if this is a symptom of gluten intollerance/sensitivity... Anyone experience this?

I should note, I have year allergic rhinitis (effectively treated with year round nasal steriod and nasal antihistime sprays), and the allergen counts are going up, so that could be a factor...

Caffeine is a diuretic so just try water.

If you don't have D and you stopped caffeine and you're still peeing a lot, go see a doctor for a diabetes test.

 

Peeing a lot could also be a small kidney stone passing.

 

 

Watermelon and echanacia tea made me pee a lot.

 

Good luck.

As a nurse, my spidey sense tingles whenever someone says "thirsty all the time". While the amount you report isn't greatly abnormal, it's the "still thirsty" part that draws my attention. There are a few problems that have increased thirst as a symptom and some are associated with autoimmune or celiac issues. How this fits into a big picture is to complicated for me to try to talk about in this limited forum but important enough that I suggest you report it to your doctor and let them decide if it needs to be addressed. 

I hope this helps. :)

Oh wait, sorry I misread ounces for cups. You are drinking a lot. If you somehow became dehydrated, this amount of fluid should of corrected the problem rather quickly assuming the cause isn't continuing. Certainly, please report this to your doctor. 

Best outcome: Doctor says not to worry.

Sorry, after re-reading my posts I realized I made that kinda confusing going back and forth between cups/oz.  I'm feeling pretty space cadet like today. :blink:

 

Thanks for the info, I will def mention to my Dr!

Ankles aren't puffy, but my mid section sure is growing (and not in the good, I'm expecting a child, kinda way).

      Toddler recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and need help understanding coeliac screening test results

      By mytype1diabetes · Posted

      Thanks for this Wends and appreciate your insights! I'm not sure what you mean by "Your toddler is unlikely igA deficient with a titer of 22, as a positive test." ? I had a look at Dr Bernstein's work and we've definitely noticed that on lower carb days her blood glucose levels are much easier to manage. Our nutritionist advised against a low carb diet for toddlers as they said young children, unlike adults, rely on carbs for their growth and development. What's your view on this? Regarding malabsorption - it's so hard to know what's "normal". My daughter's poos have always been on the softer side as she's breastfed and we eat very healthily. I've booked an appointment with our GP and...

      Toddler recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and need help understanding coeliac screening test results

      By mytype1diabetes · Posted

      Thank you all for your kind wishes, it means so much. The information you've all shared has been so useful. We have a great diabetes team and trust the consultants decision to wait a few months to repeat the blood test. We also don't want to put her through any more tests than she needs as it's so tough on her and us! It feels unbearable waiting when she has some unexplained symptoms and as her mum I want to make sure we're doing everything we can to keep her healthy. That's interesting re: iron levels. I hadn't thought about that but I'm pretty sure this would've been checked as she was in hospital with DKA and they did lots of tests. I have requested a copy of her results.

      Pepsid alternative

      It seems crazy to me that even when you call a manufacturer they can't, in this day and age, answer the simple question about what exactly is in their product!!

      Pepsid alternative

      By milana · Posted

      Thank you very much for your response. Since I got this advice I called Pepsid manufacturer and they could not give a definite answer. Basically,  there is no final testing and they do not guarantee anything. So I went and got farmotidine from Wagmans that was marked gluten-free and also our pediatrician gave us a prescription for farmotidine that was also gluten-free. So there are other options there thankfully. In case someone will come across of this dilemma.
