Weird Question:

GlutenFreeAl

Ok weird question for everyone.

I used to pee constantly. I'm not even kidding you when I tell you that my friends in college called me "the urinator."

Now that I'm gluten free, I pee sooooo much less frequently! I can get through the workday only peeing twice, whereas it used to be like 7 or 8 times a day! Except when I get glutened. Then I get all bloated and pee every 20 minutes :angry:

I was just curious if anyone experienced the same thing. There 's probably zero correlation between the two problems...

There is a correlation. Same thing. When I've been glutened I feel like I pee every ten minutes. I also wake up in the middle of the night and pee. When I'm as gluten free as can be....normal pee-er again. Body trying to flush out "toxins"?

Now that you mention it, yes!

Wow! I hadn't really thought about why. But I used to pee all the time and now I only do a few times a day. Hmmm, cool.

I agree, I think the gluten makes us so thirsty. I am much more like a normal person in so many ways

I too noticed less peeing, but I didn't realize it was a gluten thing! :rolleyes:

I pee all the time! I have been gluten free for about 3 weeks, but I have been glutened a few times. I already feel so much better, it would be nice if I started peeing less as well.

I am in sales so I'm in my car all day long. I can't tell you how many nasty gas stations I've stopped in because there was no other choice.

I can't ever make it throught the night without getting up to pee. Once I wake up, I have a heard time going back to sleep because I've been so stressed lately. I would love not to get up at 4:30 anymore. That really isn't the morning.

How soon did you all notice a difference?

one thing i noticed about before i went gluten-free (or when i am glutened) is that after ingesting gluten, i would suddenly have to pee w/ extreme urgency. I would go, then 15-20 mins later, i had to pee again, and thats when i would get sick-- its weird b/c even if i dont know i am glutened, i will know by the constant peeing w/ urgency after the meal...its like the warning signal now! And also, yes, i have def found that when im glutened i am thirsty to a point where i can never drink enough water (hence all the peeing)

We have this in our family. Mine got so bad I would get up 3-4 times a night and my colleagues in the office used to make jokes about how many times I went to the loo. (about every 30 mins or do). I had a bladder scan, tests for cyctitis and other tests over the years, all negative. My sister is also gluten sensitive and has the same problem. Interestingly it can also be a side effect of taking too much Ventolin inhaler for Asthma.

When I was Dx with fibromyalgia 2 years ago I happened to mention it to the Rheumatologist. He said it was an 'Irritable Bladder' (to go with the Irritable Bowel!) and common with fibro.Now I take 1 Tolterodine tab daily. The difference was amazing, I only get up once in the night if at all. I go 'normally' now, I even have to remind myself to go!.

Since being gluten-free in Mid November it is better still, except when I'v been accidentally gluted. I am concidering stopping the meds now. I am probably drinking more now than when it was really bad so it wasn't a volume issue.

My doctor said in my case it is a neurological problem with the nerve between brain/bladder as tolterodine works on a very specific muscel at the neck of the bladder that gets overactive.

I have also had that problem. I think it has to do with when you get glutend you dont absorb real well, and it just filters thru you like a big britta pitcher. When I get glutened, I get dehydrated real fast. It only takes a matter of a few hours, sometimes.

Wow, thanks for all of your responses! I was just kind of grabbing at straws, but it seems like maybe there is a connection!?!

Last night I literally got up to pee 5 times to pee within an hour and a half period. And I was incredibly hyper. (Needless to say, I didn't get a great night's sleep last night.)

Based on your answers, and even though I didn't feel sick to my stomach, is it possible I accidentally got glutened?

Anyone else feel hyper and agitated when glutened?

Thanks!!!

Yep, hyper and aggitated. If I get glutened later in the evening and then try to go to sleep, there's no way. It's like I'm buzzing. And not "buzzing", but like an internal vibration almost. And my brain goes 100 miles an hour and I get aggitated. Before I knew about gluten, I just thought I was frustrated because I couldn't sleep. But once I went gluten-free, I noticed that if I got glutened in the evening, that's what would happen. Same thing happens if I get glutened during the day - irritable and restless, but I'm also running after my kids, so it's less noticable.

I've also noticed that I'm less thirsty off gluten, and pee less. I was always thirsty before.

i have noticed a difference also, but had not thought of it being because of the gluten.

Hmmm... now that you mention it yes! I used to get up a pee 3-4 times a night. Now sometimes I sleep right through or just wake up once or twice. Although I have also gotten off dairy too.

It wasn't like my bladder was full either, just a strong urge to go.

I have heard that hyper aggitated feeling described as 'tired but wired'.that fits me! and I notice it much more now i'm gluten & dairy free when I accidentally slip up.

You guys might also want to check out if you have a yeast overgrowth infection. This stopped for me completely (glutened or not) when I began to get control over my yeast infection. Great website candidafree.com.

I had the same symptoms. My bladder would feel full and pressurey alot and I had to go all of the time. Now I think it may have been correlated with bloating. Also, yes, when I get glutened I feel anxious and panicked.

      celiac disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      My only proof

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
