You need to take the DE each time you eat. They are not stored in the body, so taking them in the morning won't help at all with your evening meal.

 

You also need to "up" or "down" the dose relative to the meal. E.g. I eat 5 meals a day. I take 2 with each of the 4 smaller meals and 4 with my main meal. You will need to find what works for you (It's not necessarily what works for me!). You will know if you have taken too many because it will cause heartburn/indigestion.

 

Yep... I take them at night too - any significant meal.  I do not take them with snacks though because they would be too much for just a little food, and as you said - can start to cause other problems.

Is it possible that the Ranch dressing contains aspartame?  When I was ingesting it I had floaters and other issues, too.  Aspartame is not recommended for anyone, especially those with AI diseases. 

 

Good thought... but no.  I avoid aspartame like the plague.  Instant headache for me.

Are you kidding?  This is hilarious!  Who else is going to applaud a good poop?

(I'm picturing some brand new not-yet-member reading all of this and thinking...  wow...  these people are nuts!  And immediately wanting to join, of course...)  :lol:

Whenever I slack off on my enzymes, bad things happen. Every meal, or anytime I'm eating out/at someone's house. I don't usually take them with breakfast but probably should...

 

We definitely develop more poo knowledge than the average person. I always check it out to make sure everything's looking ok.

Anyway, a friend of mine one took a photo of her poo cause it was such a success. Only a Celiac would appreaciate that!

Also, my man keeps teasing me with this silly "Peeegggyyy, she likes to poooooo" song. I really don't know why I put up with him...

I do the same thing.  The automatic flushers at work really irritate me.  By the time you turn around to inspect your output it's wisked away forever...  :angry:

OK - so today I am experiencing steatorrhea for the first time outside of floaters. Today I have the oil droplets at the surface of the water. I also am having severe diarreha. it feels like I have been glutened (cramps, nausea, frequent bathroom trips) but I cannot pinpoint what could have done it. I can only blame the extra fat I have had in my diet the past few days. And I have been very good this weekend taking my digestive enzymes with my meals (and it contains the lipase so I know it covers fat). Am I freaking out over nothing or should I be concerned?

WOW, I have had this for the past two days and have been wondering what the heck it is...I will be waiting to hear what people have to say. The oil, the explosive (sorry) D. I have been gluten-free and DF but am now thinking it might be corn that's the problem. Do you eat corn products?

Moose, I think you are okay with the oily stuff... as long as it is short-lasting I wouldn't look too much into it.

the love on here is mutual.  ;)

laughter is crucial to healing, reduces stress, knocks down inflammatory cytokines and promotes good circulation.

 

EVERYONE...please believe me...unless you are suffering  serious steatorrhea,  and weak and suffering from continuous expulsions,

you are probably still just healing.

 

DRINK water, hydrate, take probiotics. 

I do......... and I have spectacular poo.

 

there, I said it.  -_-  I had horrible D or C my entire life. Not anymore.!!!

 

Give it time.

 

Omg, I reveal so much to you all ... for the greater good. I am the good poo poster child  :lol:

lol......kind of scary what we have become so proud of, isn't it? 

 

After my mom went G F (3 months after my DX) I insisted she take probiotics. I thought I'd get resistance, but she did it. 

That poor woman had either  "omygawdIhaveotgettothepottyrightnow!!" episodes or she pooped out marbles her entire life.

 

She called me one morning about 3 months later to report her victory. 

It was a ....... OPP.

 

What's that you ask? that 's "mom-speak" for a one piece poop.

 

whooot whoot. so proud, Ma.

Having grown up on a farm, we refer to those as "Nanny Berries".  Why?  A "Nanny" is a mother goat (we had goats) and goats naturally poop out small, perfectly circular, berry-sized terds, in a little perfect pile.  They look like dark brown berries... so "Nanny Berries".   :)

OMG! I love labs. I own a chocolate lab named Moose. He would rather eat the book. He's destroyed and eaten several paperbacks in his day. And dog shaming is hilarious! We should have a thread just for posting random dog shaming!

My lab Gracie never pooped in the house, but she chewed up a cord of wood once. Wood was strewn on two floors of our home and I was expecting company. came back from the airport with my friends to a house full of wood chips. She s$#& toothpicks for weeks.

She ate a box of snuggle fabric sheets. Had to be pulled out one at a time. You know, like a pop-up dispenser. Vet said no worries--she

will be clean as a whistle, inside and out.

Crazy dog.

I miss her, that little nutjob..

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!

      @JudyLou,  I have dermatitis herpetiformis, too!  And...big drum roll... Niacin improves dermatitis herpetiformis!   Niacin is very important to skin health and intestinal health.   You're correct.  dermatitis herpetiformis usually occurs on extensor muscles, but dermatitis herpetiformis is also pressure sensitive, so blisters can form where clothing puts pressure on the skin. Elastic waist bands, bulky seams on clothing, watch bands, hats.  Rolled up sleeves or my purse hanging on my arm would make me break out on the insides of my elbows.  I have had a blister on my finger where my pen rested as I write.  Foods high in Iodine can cause an outbreak and exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. You've been on the gluten free diet for a long time.  Our gluten free diet can be low in vitamins and minerals, especially if processed gluten free foods are consumed.  Those aren't fortified with vitamins like gluten containing products are.  Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, medicine, or vitamins? Niacin deficiency is connected to anemia.  Anemia can cause false negatives on tTg IgA tests.  A person can be on that borderline where symptoms wax and wane for years, surviving, but not thriving.  We have a higher metabolic need for more nutrients when we're sick or emotionally stressed which can deplete the small amount of vitamins we can store in our bodies and symptoms reappear.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards. The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.    Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.   However, another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.   I recommend getting checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  More than just Vitamin D and B12.  A gluten challenge would definitely be a stressor capable of precipitating further vitamin deficiencies and health consequences.   Best wishes!
