Not Thirsty

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.

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
