"Green" Stool

Hello All,

I'm a 20 year old college kid looking for a word of advice from fellow Celiacs. I was diagnosed about 5 years ago and have been eating a "moderately" Gluten Free diet since I could be doing better but sometimes I cave when out with friends and deal with the symptoms afterwards I understand I need to be far more strict with my diet. In the past week I've been eating exclusively Gluten Free. I haven't eaten anything with "Green" food coloring and haven't changed up any supplements. My stool has been consistently green for about 3 days now I've read it was a "symptom" of Celiac disease but in my 5 years have never had green stool multiple days in a row. Unfortunately I am a hypocondriac (more so recovering) and not sure if this is worthy to go to the doctor for, I'm not experiencing any abdominal pains.

I am not even going to scold you about allowing gluten into your diet.  You already know that gluten makes you sick.  What you do not think about when you are 20 are the long-term ramifications.  You know, osteoporosis, cancer, acquiring additonal autoimmune disorders, etc.  What?  I think I was scolding you!

Usually, green stool is a sign of food moving through you fast, but I am not a doctor.    It could be celiac disease related or something else.  Maybe you should ask  for a follow-up celiac antibodies blood test from your GI.    It might help you stay focused on the diet.  

Hugs!

Being diagnosed young is a blessing!!..It took them 25 years for me...and I have a lot of problems now..I have also known for 5 years. .listen to us..YOU MUST STAY AWAY FROM GLUTEN!..It is poison to your system...and that's what I think the green stool is. .I have had it when I accidently came into contact with gluten or ate something that had a cross-reaction..it is in so much stuff...Please do your own research to find out just what is happening to your body when you consume it..and believe me..you will understand why I will never again ..on purpose eat gluten..Noone should..

.Goodluck to you..this forum is great for answers!

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior".   Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still consuming dairy and I think that's what's backing me up. Next week no dairy introduced.

      Hello mantooth nice to meet you it's so uncanny what you wrote you sound just like me even the back issues are exactly the same and I'm new here too trying to find out if I have the same had I too have been struggling to find answers with my docters I don't have a diagnosis but I've been struggling like forever and was told ibs and health aniexty was my problem but on researching I've come to the conclusion it's probably more because i cut gluten and lactose out for 6 months and  it was a incredible change for me so although I can't help with diagnosis I can say your not alone in trying  to find answers 😊
