Having To Poop Every Few Minutes, Kind Of Embarasing

My celiac is pretty much under control most of the time. Is it normal to have to poop every few minutes for about a half hour period? My mom says this happens to her but she just sits on the toilet. She doesn't have celiac disease. It is just really annoying expeciall when I have to be to the swimming pool at 7am with my kids. I need to get up at 5:30 to get the poop out before I drive. Or at the end of their practice I have to go several times. So frustrating. Today I had to go 4 times before we got in the car. I had a speck of fetta last night. It could be that as dairy cheese seems to bother me. I also had some bacon last night. Maybe it was the fat. I hate not knowing the cause.

I don't know how long you have been gluten-free. It just may take more time to get the whole system working together. Maybe you need to adjust what you are eating? Maybe you need more fiber? Some probiotics or yogurt every day for a few weeks to get a good balance back?

I kind of do this too I've noticed after I've had entirely too much lactose or dairy or chocolate.  I am still investigating this.  It seems to be an "irritable bowel" problem caused my some kind of food, so trying to do the "elimination diet".  What really helped me to get back on track the most was Solgar's POWDERED lactobacillus acidophilus(its gluten and dairy free)......so now I am wondering if I have candida too.  And I'm wondering if gluten intolerance is "running in my family" as my dad who is 86 just had an endoscope and the doctor told him that he was just "eat up" with candida and it was from wheat...so he told him to be gluten free and he took a very powerful probiotic(he was having "sinus ulcers").  I am also trying the FOODMAPS diet as well as being gluten free and that seems to help tremendously.  I KNOW without a shadow of a doubt that I am lactose intolerant(and I will do what you do until my system gets back on track---if I eat lactose---especially cow's milk). So hope some of these ideas help!

This happened to me before I got my diet figured out and healed.  When I'm well it happens once in the morning.  It is definitely embarrassing, especially when you can't make it to the toilet in time!

There's a good chance you are eating something that is irritating your gut.  Might be time to simplify your diet for a while.  Check all your vitamins and meds for gluten too.

      Celiac getting dentures

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.
