I don't know if i am in the right area to ask about this but i was wondering if any of you have trouble drinking water. Before all of this started happening, i would get thirsty and was a normal water drinker. Now, i have to force myself to drink water because i am very rarely thirsty, I actually forget to drink water sometimes. And by the way, i have never been a soda, juice, or milk drinker, just water and coffee, and i only have coffee in the morning.Hope someone out there has some info, i think this is really weird. Thanks

Making sure your hydrated is just something you have to do regardless if your thirsty or not.  Really can't see how being "not thirsty" is a problem.  I wouldn't give it a second thought unless you are having a myriad of symptoms that make you suspect something is wrong.

 

Good Luck.

I just think it isn't normal to go a whole day and not want to drink any water.I never had to force myself to drink a glass of water before, i always wanted to naturally.

a wise woman once told me:  once you don't lose so much water through D, you don't need as much. 

 

you also get water in foods that your body is now digesting better :)  i am not thirsty very much.  if i am, i get something to drink - i figure trust my body.  if it needs extra fluids, it's gonna let me know.

I don't drink water thru out the day either. I do think it has to do with not having D I drink tea in the Am, I don't dring water thru out the day, sometimes at night I will make myself some lemon aide , not because I am thirsty , because I like it!!

The best way to know if you get enough liquid is to look at your pee.  Pee should be very light yellow.  If not, drink some more water during the day.

Also you can put your hand on a flat surface pull the skin on top your hand up gently like a lil pinch of skin , pull it up gently and let go , if it stays up , you may be dehydrated if it goes down fast your fine :)  I actually just did that to mine and mine is staying up a bit! I may have to make myself some lemonade :)

I hope your body will learn to ask when it needs it.  I got checked for diabetes more than once because of my "extreme thirst."  I guess when a body is messed up, it can mess up any which way?  My thirst level has become more regular since gluten free is working for me.  I hope yours will too.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By trents · Posted

      @rjane, yes, it often feels overwhelming in the beginning. But let me encourage you by saying that it will get easier. You and your husband will develop, over time, a sixth sense of how gluten is typically hidden in the food supply and where it is found and you will develop an inventory of foods that you can trust and to stock your pantry with. The largest risk involves eating out at restaurants. Even if you order things that are naturally gluten free, you have no control over cross contamination happening back in the kitchen in how things are prepared and handled. Another trap is eating at other people's homes who are trying to accommodate your husband's need to eat gluten free but who lack knowledge about how gluten may be hidden in the food supply. I mean, who would expect to find wheat in soy sauce or Campbell's tomato soup? I know you aren't going to want to hear this, but you may want to consider making your kitchen entirely gluten free to eliminate the possibility of accidents and cross contamination. It would also simplify your meal preparation. Yes, I'm talking about both of you eating gluten free in the home. Many couples find this is the easiest and most practical approach to being consistent and keeping their celiac loved one safe. You might find this helpful:

      I am not sure if they have tested him for SIBO  should I ask the hospital if they have tested him for that, there is so much to learn in the beginning I am not sure what or who to ask I am thinking the good folks on this site will help me, thanking you for your help

      Has your hubbie been checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)? This is not uncommon in the celiac population. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21820-small-intestinal-bacterial-overgrowth-sibo

      Update: I got a call on Monday from the GI doctor's office, they had a cancellation and an appointment opened up for Tuesday. Not much time to prepare, but I went ahead and did it anyway. I haven't been gluten free at any point, but I haven't really loaded up as much as was recommended, either. It takes another 6-8 weeks to get the results, so I'd rather get it done now. I just hope it will be enough and I won't have to try again and delay it even longer. Thanks for the recommendations and thoughtful responses, much appreciated. I will be following up with my GP soon to check for nutritional deficiencies while I'm waiting on the test results.
