Dehydration


chuikov

Recommended Posts

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.

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.

      I think all barley and barley malt  have gluten. I would avoid it. The only gluten-free beer I've tried that tastes good is by Holidaily, a Colorado brewery. Their Fat Randy's IPA is great, except that it's almost impossible to find and grocers won't order it (they're at the mercy of their "food distributors," who seem to hate Holidaily). If you can find any Holidaily, try it--it's great. Never mind Spain -;)
