Yep - There's An App For That

Well... today I decided that in order to truly feel like I was getting some day to day improvement on the toilet front was to take it very serious and start journaling it. I am gluten free since a gluten challenge that ended late Novemeber. I did get glutened by cross contamination in January. I'm still dealing with the terrible "D" on ocassion with just abnormal BM's. Nothing that I would really consider and stable or normal yet.

 

OF course there is an app for this! I have an android phone and downloaded one (For free) that helps me keep track of my BMs (time of day, consistency, volume and pain score as well as a notes option). You could even (although I think I'll refrain from this function) take a picture of your poo. 

 

So there you have it. There's an app for everything these days.

There is another one called MySymptoms that I found, I can use it to do all of my food entries and then email a report to my nutritionist. It also does analysis to try to correlate your symptoms to a specific food item. I think it's great, but it takes a lot of effort to put everything in.

I, too, am cracking up over here.  LOL

*cough*

 

But really this is a great use of technology.  I remember when I had bladder problems and saw a urologist she gave me a peepee log to fill out and bring back in, was awkward, to say the least.  Now no one can stumble upon your written descriptions of your poo, it is for your eyes only.  Probably increases patient compliance, especially with the youngins.

I have to admit in my early days and even now on occasion I do track my poo :lol:

It is a helpful diagnostic  tool :rolleyes:  but it is most certainly for my eyes only :lol:

The app has a lock feature where if someone stumbles upon your pooplog.. they can't open it and discover your secrets. LOL

Forget that. The only way someone besides my husband would have my phone is if they stole it. I want them to be as uncomfortable as possible in that situation.

hahaha fair enough! I am pretty blunt and up front about my GI issues so I don't use the lock feature. I am sure that I'm not everyone's favorite party guest for that reason. LOL

I don't use the lock feature either because I have the ICE app on my phone, which is completely useless if my phone is locked. I also believe that people shouldn't ask questions they don't want to know the answer to, which includes "how are you?" It shouldn't be expected of people to politely lie. I'm probably not exactly a favorite person in some circles either. :lol: (For instance, the cashier asked me yesterday when I was picking up my lortabs after a root canal and as the novocaine was wearing off and looked generally like hell how I was, I was completely honest.)

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
