"Green" Stool


TheHusky

Recommended Posts

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!

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Those are driving distance from me--I will try to check them out, thanks for sharing!

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
