I have been recently diagnosed with Celiac's Disease.  I have changed my diet for the last 2 months.  I am finding that I have to go to the bathroom about 3 or 4 times in the morning.  It is not diarrhea. I used to go once a day. Is this normal?

Sure.  That could be normal for you.  2 months isn't that long to heal and get everything regulated.   It may be different 2 months from now.

Might be your new regular, if you went to a whole foods diet with plenty of veggies, etc. And less processed crap your getting more fiber.

I used to get constipation before going gluten free....yours could be a similar issue but just 2 months is a rather short time. Many times constipation is brought on by magnesium issues, healed gut, etc. can fix this,

Other thoughts, are you consuming a lot of fruits, juices, taking vitamin C. Frequent bowl movements could also be your getting your upward threshold of vitamin C. You could be getting more fiber then your used to.

Or you could be getting a light gluten exposure from a condiment jar/butter tub with crumbs, or a pan with scratches you did not throw out. Ate outside your own house? Do check the newbie 101 thread to see if you missed anything.

Any other information you can tell us? Like what you eat, Do you see pieces of undigested food? This could be a enzyme issue or a gut biome issue.

      Be sure to have her continue eating gluten before the biopsy. Reducing gluten now could lead to healing and false negative results.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Allegra is an antihistamine.  Histamine is released by the body as part of the autoimmune and immune responses, so an antihistamine would be helpful.  Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet is helpful as well because there's also histamine in foods.  Sometimes our body has trouble getting rid of the histamine it makes and the histamine from our food.  Sometimes the mast cells that make and release histamine get touchy and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells not to release histamine so readily.  Look into Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.  SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, can also cause high histamine levels.  Following the low histamine AIP diet will starve out the bad SIBO bacteria that feed on carbohydrates we eat.  We don't want to take antibiotics because they kill off both the good and bad bacteria.  We don't want to take probiotics yet because the SIBO bacteria will outnumber them.   The AIP diet will allow the good bacteria to flourish.   Some have Candida infections as well as SIBO.   Lowering histamine levels is important because high histamine levels for a long time can lead to worsening health problems like Crohn's and colitis and other health problems.

      gluten-free Canada finds

      By JessicaAnderson · Posted

      Hey! My son will be traveling to Canada from the US next month. What are some items we should try to buy and bring back? I know Doritos are labeled gluten-free in Canada so that’s on our list, what else?

      Oh I have 2 dogs. And I just looked up the ingredients in their food and it does contain barley as a main ingredient. Maybe some other things too that aren't helpful but barley just caught my eye on a quick look.  And yes I spend lots of time with them, they're always cuddled up on me. I even have wondered before if I was allergic to them and I take Allegra at night out of some thought that maybe I was allergic to them (but I've never confirmed that).  Wow. This is very interesting. I could try putting them out on some grain-free food for a month and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip!

      Hi Thanks for answering so quickly. Not sure about any other blood tests, all I have is a copy of what my daughter sent to me. Hopefully she’ll get the biopsy soon cos she’s really anxious about the whole thing, but she tends to have a lot of anxiety anyway and has done for a long time
