Mucous In Stools?

Just wondering if anyone has any experience or opinions about muscous in stools? Is it something to worry about? I've been having the occasional loose/mucousy stool - usually once a day, always in the afternoon and almost always at work. (Stress?) I do keep a food log and the only thing I can see that might have a correlation is apples. Do apples give anyone else trouble? Do you think more fiber would help? Otherwise I'm doing well in this department.

Thanks for listening - hard to talk about this with just anyone :)

I believe it means that you are still not absorbing fats and it passes right through. The healing process can take quite a bit of time. If they float, your healing and if they sink your betting better. :blink:

Usually this happens to me when I'm pretty sick. I'd say keep looking for something in your diet. Maybe you've got a dairy intolerance too?

You might want to try the SCD diet and see if that clears it up. I seem to be sensitive to far more stuff than I was and this is helping me figure out everything. One thing I've learned is that ignoring gas, diarrhea and stuff is bad. Those are symptoms. I'm terrible about ignoring symptoms.

Otherwise, how about stopping the apples for awhile and see if you get better.

I have had that symptom too, it was from gluten for me. Have you check your hand soaps and lotions? (if you use it on your hands, then eat, that stuff might be on your food). Also, if you touch your hair a lot, maybe you are using a hair product with gluten in it?? I think I remember someone here saying that carbon paper has wheat in it, so that might be a source too (Just trying to think of things that I face/do/touch at work) Sorry I can't be more help.

I had the same problem with gluten along with the smell and when I first went gluten-free that is when they started to float.

I have no problems with apples I eat 3 or more a day.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      @fatjacksonthecat I have been doing some digging about the topic of nicotine and celiac.  I came across many studies that showed that the nicotine patch helped many with long covid and chronic fatigue syndrome.  I have a son who was diagnosed with celiac and his symptoms are severe when he is glutened.  He shows a lot of neurological inflammation and suffered with fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety and insomnia. There have been studies revealing that nicotine smoke actually masking celiac symptoms.  I also read that microdosing with a nictoine patch prevents one from addiction.  We are currently trying this out and so far it has lifted the brain fog and helped with anxiety and mood.  One of the studies I have read showed that it's not so much the dose, but the length of time a person is on the patch that showed improvements.  Many showed significant improvement as early as week 3 and continued through week 12.  We are taking 3 day breaks in between to make sure we don't down regulate the nicotine receptors.   How have things been for you?  Are you still chewing nicotine gum?  Perhaps, try the patch?  And how long did it take to ease up on your symptoms when glutened?

      Hi @KathyR37 and a very warm welcome here.  I am so very sorry that you are going through all of this. I just wanted to check, have you ever been tested for any other gastrointestinal conditions? Cristiana

      @KathyR37, I would suspect that in addition to gluten intolerance, you have other food intolerances/sensitivities. This is very common in the celiac community. The most common offenders are oats, dairy, soy, corn and eggs with dairy and oats being the big two. Have you considered this? Have you tried keeping a food diary to detect patterns?

      thank you for your advice.   I have always taken them and I use Stonehedge because they are in a glass bottle, but don't have to be refrigerated.  I also like they are 3rd party tested and state gluten free. But you never know if something better has come alone over the years.
