Slightly Humourous But Serious Poop Question

Okay, so I got glutened three days ago, and everything I have ate afterwards has went right through me. You know, when it gets to the point that you're laughing on the toilet because it's just been your best bud.

Anyway, tonight for a snack I was FAMISHED, and ate literally everything in site for 45 minutes: I was cracking nuts right and left, I had four huge bowls of cereal, tonnes of fruit. It was delicious! But SO much.

But never ending.

Does that happen to people after a glutening? After the diarreah (hopefully) starts letting up, is it like, "okay, time to replenish?"

Does diarreah act like a laxative? If I were to diarreah after every meal for the next, I don't know, week, would I lose (real) weight?

For the love of pete, we're all too skinnnny anyway!

But really these are serious questions.

I have an exam tomorrow, so let's say a prayer that this 80 lbs of food stays where she belongs.

Lorka--I get very hungry after being glutened, too. Probably the 3rd or 4th day when the nausea lets up, I'm so thirsty and hungry for gluten free carbs, especially. Good luck at the Dr. :)

I am extremely hungry after i am glutened, and the experience is very much like what you described. But i certainly havent lost weight from getting sick, b/c i find that i do replenish (possibly over-replenish!) after getting glutened.

I lost weight in the beginning, before I knew what was causing my diarrhea. Everything I ate...even plain ol rice would go right through. Now, if I'm accidentally glutened, I take immodium. That stops the diarrhea immediately! :) For me..when I was sickest, it took longer to feel better after eating gluten and now that I'm healing, I'm only sick for a day sometimes two. I just watch my diet and don't eat anything else that irritates my stomach.

I also get very hungry and want to eat everything in site but I try not to. I want to keep my weight where it is!

Good luck on the exam!! :)

Traveljunkie--When you take Immodium after a gluten accident, does it also help with the cramping and nausea? I usually let it run its course, but if that would help, I may try it. Thanks!

Hi jerseyangel,

Yes , for me it does. I don't usually get nausea just burning type sensations in the intestines. I usually let it run its course as well, but if I have to go out, taking immodium gives me peace of mind. My reactions to gluten are intense itchy rash with burning intestines followed by diarrhea. Give immodium a try and see if it helps with nausea. I usually take 2 if its a bad reaction. Hope it works for you! :)

I have tried the immodium thing and I find that all it does is trap that battle inside your belly even longer, I think its better to just let it run its course, that is as long as I have a day or three to sit in my bathroom! But no, when i take the immodium I just feel like I need to D and cant, and that is NO FUN

Our ancestors, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, had the right stuff for D: Tincture of Opium.

That drug, with its narcotic pain-killing properties, would be perfect for us today. Contrary to what the idiots in charge of drug policies say, it will not have any long-term addiction or side effects when used occasionally.

Even if a person had to take it frequently, they would not be "high" from it - and the risk of developing a "habit" is negligible. I was strongly considering getting this before discovering that I had Celiac. I have heard that the version available today is not as strong as it once was. That sounds par for the course

They probably got more relief out of the opium back then, than we can get from the over-the-counter or prescription stuff we are all stuck with today.

      Gluten free and oat free bars not sugary?

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      I'm looking for bars or non perishable snacks for my 2 kids. They are 5 and 3. The 3 year old seems sensitive to oats also. We do a lot of long hikes and bike rides. They eat mostly fresh foods but for these rides and hikes we need easy and non perishable. Also that taste good! We do a lot of larabars and freeze dried apples but those are getting old. Any ideas?

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      Oh, @MagsM, Sorry you had that happen with Niacin.  500mg is the maximum amount of Niacin one should take.  Niacin works hand in hand with Thiamine, so a big influx like that can imbalance thiamine if not supplemented at the same time.  All the B vitamins work together in concert.  Niacin in doses at 500 mg or above have been used by doctors to lower triglycerides levels and raise HDL, the good cholesterol.  Pharmaceuticals to do the same thing are more expensive and thus more profitable for physicians. Has your doctor tested you for H. Pylori?  An infection by H. Pylori can be tested for by your doctor.  H. Pylori can cause low tTg IgA results, too.   I would hold off on the microbiome test for now.  Your microbiome is going to change when you go gluten free.  Your microbiome will change when you start taking Thiamine.  Thiamine supplementation influences which microbes grow in the intestines, encouraging beneficial bacteria and getting rid of the bad ones.  Thiamine in the form Benfothiamine promotes intestinal healing, too.  Adopting the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, a Celiac herself) after diagnosis will also change your microbiome.  This is the best diet to heal and recover, IMO.   If you're going to have more testing done for vitamin deficiencies, don't take vitamin supplements beforehand, otherwise the tests will measure the vitamin supplements in your bloodstream and give false results.  Same thing will happen if you take B vitamin shots.  The supplements you mentioned (Arterosil HP and Vascanox HP) are herbal support and do not contain all eight B vitamins.  There's no harm in taking them, but I prefer a B Complex that contains all the B vitamins in activated forms like Life Extension's Bioactive Complete B Complex.  All the B vitamins work together in concert.  Magnesium is important to supplement as thiamine and magnesium make life sustaining enzymes together.  Do not buy supplements containing Thiamine Mononitrate because it is not biologically active.  It is very hard for the body to utilize.  Most of it (70%) passes out unused.    Yes, my Meniere's disease has not returned.  I was deficient in Vitamin D.  I took high doses of Vitamin D 3 to correct the deficiency quickly.  I also took TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which is a form of thiamine different from Benfotiamine.  TTFD can cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier, so it can get into the brain very easily.  TTFD helps the Vagus nerve function.  The Vagus nerve regulates the ears and balance, and also the digestive system.  I like Allithiamine by Ecological Formulas.  I also like Thiamax by Objective Nutrients.  You should have improvements within a hour with TTFD.  TTFD is much stronger, so lower doses will give amazing benefits (50-200 mg).   I hope this helps give you some direction to take on your journey!

      Thank you so much for this in depth analysis. I am currently taking Vit D3/K2 5000IU daily.i started taking a flushing Niacin but foolishly took a 500mg tab and nearly passed out! I have just ordered a gut microbiome genome test and it will be interesting to see what my current balance of microbes are. After I finish diagnosis I will definitely go gluten free. Diagnosis will inform exactly how strict I’ll need to be regarding cross contamination etc. my focus will be on healing the gut. I have also been focusing on the oral microbiome - cutting out FL and using more natural products as well as daily oil pulling. I read from some of your other forum entries about Benfothiamine and I’ll definitely order that. I’ll make sure my doc orders more detailed vitamin and mineral panel plus total IGA as well as the DGP-IGA and DGP-IGG tests. We will see if I can get the endoscopic biopsy done. Do you think I should request Vitamin B shots to get me started?  My daily vitamin protocol will likely be VitD/K2 5000IU, Benfothiamin 300x2, Niacin (flushing) 50mg working up to 300mg. I also take a EPA/DHA as well as some vascular support (Arterosil HP and Vascanox HP) as well as Magnesium at night. Which B complex brand do you like? I will see what the gut microbiome test comes back with. I’m sure they will try to sell me pre/probiotics and maybe some digestive enzymes. What are you thought on those? I’m curious if you managed to go into full remission from your Ménière’s disease? Thank you so much for your thoughtful insight. I know that building back up my gut health and immune health will help in so many ways as well as protecting me from many other major diseases as I go into my 60s and beyond.

      Any bad experience with King Arthur Gluten-free bread flour

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right! The logo the have on their packages got me confused--it looks like they are less than 20ppm, not certified GF. Thanks for catching that! My brain also zeroed in on this "less than 10ppm" but I should have seen the rest...

      Zinc glyconate lozenges (Cold Eeze) helps fight off viral respiratory infections by coating the mucous membrane cells to protect them from virus.  Zinc is an antiviral essential mineral. Choline deficieicy can be the cause of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.  It is estimated by some experts that less than 10% eat the minimum RDA of around 450 mg.  It has also been connected to gallbladder disease.  Brain fog and high homosystein blood level is an independant indicator of cardiovascular disease. Eggs and red meat are the primary sources.  Three eggs or 10 cups of cooked brocolli a day.  Low vitamin D is a common denominator of autoimmune disease.  Is it a contributing factor or a result? I think that low vitamin D is maybe the main contributing factor.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. I would like to point out the many diagnosed with Celiac Disease went through several misdiagnoses, like gall bladder disease, and were repeatedly tested negative and then one day tested positive. Regardless of your diagnosis, you should avoid gluten, you mention it in your first post : "When I eat gluten I get a lot of mucus with my stool and most of the times it’s quite thin. As soon as I take gluten away from my diet my stool becomes normal". It can take six months to several years to heal completely.  How long I believe is directly related to how quickly you identify deficiencies and correct. Essential to my recovery:  Thiamine, 10,000 IU vitamin D3 a day, maintaining 25(OH)D at 80 ng/dl (200 nmole/L), 600 mcg Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline.  And of course: Gluten Free.
