Reaaalllly Gross Question......

Okay, hahah, I can't believe I'm going to ask this, but I'm at work and I can't call enterolab and ask them out loud!! (If you have a weak stomach right now, don't continue reading-I'm warning you. hehe) :rolleyes:

So, I finally pooped in my bucket last night. See, I have a problem mostly with constipation, but every few days, (now that I'm back on gluten), I get "D" but sometimes it's not a lot. Well, I had that last night........and I know this is a HORRIBLE way to put it, but I don't know how else to say it.......

It was only like a "handful" ........(no, I didn't pick it up to measure.) Well, like a small handful.......that's all that came out.........so my question is, is that enough??

I already called and they are picking it up today when I get home from work.......but now I'm wondering..........does anyone know the amount that you should have available for testing?? My "number 2" is ALWAYS DIFFERENT, I never know what to expect or when to expect it, so I was happy that I went yesterday! hahaha, and was happy that I could finally send my "bucket" in........but now I feel unsure.......... ;)

Anyone know?

Hey, don't worry about posting stuff like that! We're used to it!

You should have seen the thread when I was going through extensive testing and I had to poop into a paint can for 48 hours!!! With chronic diarrhea, going about 20 times a day, let me tell you, IT WAS NOT FUN!!! :blink: It also turned out that I needed two paint cans, so I had quite the collection!!!! :lol:

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By RMJ · Posted

      I had an endoscopy where there was no visible damage but biopsies showed damage. I even asked beforehand if the endoscope had good enough magnification to see the villi!  I hope you get a clear answer from the biopsies.

      Probably celiac but also confused

      By terrymouse · Posted

      I have an endoscopy booked for mid-September to test for Celiac. My gp seems convinced it is celiac and I should eliminate gluten right away, but the gastroenterologist I was referred to says if I'm totally gluten-free then they won't be able to detect celiac from the endoscopy, and I should load up on gluten 2 weeks before the test. So I guess I shouldn't eliminate gluten then? Or stop and start again closer to the appointment date. But I'm also on the wait list in case they can get me in sooner, because I'm losing weight. I don't want to have to go back and do it over again if I can help it. They also were unsure if there isn't something else wrong with my stomach, so that's a possibility. I don't have the details but from what I understood my blood tests results were positive but on the low end. So I'm getting mixed up here, do I go gluten-free or not? Would 2.5 months of being gluten-free make any noticable difference?

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Being low in B12, Folate B9, ferritin, zinc and copper sounds consistent with anemia which can often occur with Celiac.  What did your doctor recommend? What about your Vitamin D?  It helps regulate the immune system.

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By ehb · Posted

      @knitty kitty thank you I am exploring these options, I really appreciate all the suggestions and info. I am only slightly below the normal range for folate, zinc and copper. And in the low end of the normal range for B12, ferritin, and vitamin A. I’m good for carotene magnesium and iron, but I’ve been taking 400 mg magnesium daily

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Alibu · Posted

      I just had my endoscopy the other day and the doctor took 12 samples because he said if we're going to find something we're going to find it today LOL. But when he got down there, he said everything looked good. So I have it in my head again that it's going to be negative because everyone I've heard of who had a positive biopsy had their endoscopies where the doctor was like yep, I can see the damage. My tissues all look great apparently. So if they come back negative, I'm not sure where to go from here. Could it still be a non-celiac gluten sensitivity even with my blood work? I thought NCGS didn't show up on blood tests. Is it possible that the biopsy still comes back positive even if everything looked healthy on endoscope? I had it done at a big hospital in the state, so I would think they'd have the kind of equipment where they'd be able to see it well. I even have pictures in my report and they don't seem to have the damage that others have seen.
