Dehydration

I'm 35, and have not been officially diagnosed as celiac, but my 45 year old sister finally has - it took about 15 years for her and her doctors to figure it out. I have many of the same (the usual) symptoms - but not quite as bad.

Anyway, I am always dehydrated and drink water 3-4x more than other people. I'm not diabetic. This is cronic - not only when I have the loose stools.

Is it possible that my intestines ars so damaged after all these years of eating gluten that they don't absorb water properly?

I too drink a lot of water, and am always thirsty. I always just assumed that it was my asthma and allergy medication.

When I have a gluten reaction, I get very thirsty.

I've been gluten-free for just over 4 months now, but I'm still extremely thirsty all the time. They want me to get tested for diabetes Insipidus . , since one of hte main symptoms of this disorder is excessive thirst and urination.

I too am always dehydrated, my urine is always dark yellow, my mouth always dry, and I drink 5-6 liters of water a day.

Exact same thing! I don't know where all that water goes.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Thankfully those are normal. B12 was on the low end of the normal range when I first got diagnosed. When I last got it checked, it had come up a lot (455 last time checked).

      mystery gluten?

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  I didn't notice any gluten ingredients in Kirkland Almond non-dairy beverage, however it does contain Locust Bean Gum. Some gums may cause IBS-type issues in some people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity:

      Have you had B12 levels checked?

      For the past few months, I've been taking several supplements (a multi-vitamin, an iron supplement, a vitamin C supplement, and a magnesium supplement), all of which state that they are gluten free on the label.
