I am going through a divorce and it's horrible. I've had diarrhea for 5 days and I any afford to be losing weight. Besides all of the scary what-if stuff going on in my head (having to get roommates that have gluten in the house, dating with celiac, etc) I immediately just want to stop this diarrhea so I can start feeling better. I hate taking pills and haven't taken an anti diarrheal since before my celiac diagnosis does anyone know if kirkland anti-diarrheal is gluten free? I can't seem to find information but I have a ton of that medicine here.

The Kirkland people are really awesome at answering questions. I would just give them a call at whatever number is listed on the bottle.

And as a tip, I've noticed quite a few Kirkland pharmacy products are labeled to say if they are gluten free. So, if it doesn't....good hint it isn't.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
