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 =(

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      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.

      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.
