tell me, please, if this sounds familiar

it's a healthy 'feeling' poop, comes out okay. i eat a lot of fibre, so i don't have problems going.

often there is a 'film' of poop... like thin excess that floats on the top. the whole poop doesn't float. just this thin, poopy film.

does ANYONE know what i'm talking about?

A healthy intestine will produce a moderate amount of mucus to help the poop glide along. :) maybe that's what you're seeing?

I think it's probably the mucus too.

Yes, I think so. Especially since you don't have trouble going, and it doesn't float, sounds like a healthy, normal poop to me. Congratulations! :D:D:D

Yay, way to go for easy sinking poop! Mine only sinks every now and then and I practically have a party!

Isn't that so funny? :P This may be one of the few boards on the Internet where people celebrate their poop!

Okay...I just have to ask...I have heard lots of examples of weird poop, but what would "normal" poop look like? My mom and I have this ongoing discussion about where or not our poop should float...I say 'no' and she says 'yes'.

There's a pamplet at the health food store that always cracks me up, but it talks about colon health and healthy poops and it says that a healthy poop should float for a few seconds then gently sink! One of my friends and I laughed in hysterics one day reading this pamplet... But there ya go, that describes a healthy poop! :P:D

I might ask your doctor about the film because mine seemed extremely interested to know whether or not I had a slimy film on my poo...of course at this point I didn't know the medical problem i was getting in to and hadn't really paid much attention,now I turn and take a look before I flush!! :lol:

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
