It is true that just some foods alone can cause a case of diarrhea. I find that if I snack on too many nuts I will get diarrhea. I also got diarrhea from a calcium supplement. If I do not have things like rice and bananas in my diet, I find that my stools become very loose.

You can't tell. If you are still recovering and your intestines aren't yet healed, you can get your usual Celiac symptoms. Even if you're completely gluten-free, you can still get symptoms. If you've already recovered, then I don't know of any way to tell "regular" diarrhea from gluten/celiac symptom diarrhea.

If this is a case of persistent diarrhea, and lasts for more than a short period of time, I would go back and see your Dr. You could be like me and think it is the celiac disease when in fact in my case it turns out I also suffer from Colitis. You can also request follow-up blood work to check on your antibody levels, which will show if you are perhaps still ingesting gluten.

Does anyone experience Diarrhea in the morning for no reason? Is this a regular Celiac symptom for life?

You may want to look into SIBO, actually. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth is an overgrowth of harmful bacteria in your small intestine and feeding them sugar of any kind can certainly cause unexplainable bowel issues. This condition is very common with Celiac's disease, and is currently something I am on the SCD diet for. Sugar is a big no-no, and even fruit will cause symptoms =(

      Is it gluten?

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease. Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
