Rapid bowel movement change

I was diagnosed with celiac around 2009 and a solid movement has escaped me for over a decade(5-8 watery movements a day), until recently. For the last 2 weeks I have experienced the opposite. Small, intense, rabbit like pellets that even get stuck halfway no matter how much or hard I push/move. Anyone else experience or have thoughts?

Sparechange, welcome to the forum!

You say that you were diagnosed (with celiac disease? Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, aka, NCGS?) around 2009.

You do not say if you have been gluten free sense then. Have you been compliant with the gluten free diet during the time after your diagnosis?

Hi Sparechange

I wonder if you have altered your diet at all, or are taking any new medicines which might have this sort of effect?

I understand when you say you are scared.  I am a terrible worrier when it comes to health.  I spend a lot of time debating should I/shouldn't I pick up the phone to fix a doctor's appointment but in the end, I pluck up the courage and am always relieved that I have taken that step!  It's really good to have any bowel movements that last for more than a few days checked out.  A lot of people have bowel changes checked out and it turns out nothing is amiss, but it's good to be sure and to have peace of mind, or if there is something that is amiss, the doctors should be able to help.

      @nanny marley, Have you been taking any vitamins or mineral supplements besides Vitamin D? What are you eating?  Do you eat processed gluten free foods?   You said your symptoms included fatigue, body hair loss, low vitamin d,  Restless Leg Syndrome, Raynaud's Syndrome, contact dermatitis, rhinitis, body aches, TMJ, heart palpitations, sleep issues, vomiting,  dizziness, frequent bowel movements. There's eight B vitamins and Vitamin C that are water soluble.  When one has diarrhea for extended periods of time, those water soluble essential vitamins are flushed out of the body easily, and there's little time to absorb any more water soluble vitamins or fat soluble vitamins from food moving through that fast.   It's easy to become vitamin deficient with diarrhea.   Deficiency in Vitamin B1, Thiamine, can result in Gastrointestinal BeriBeri which can also cause diarrhea, fatigue, and abdominal pain.  Deficiency in Vitamin B3, Niacin, can cause diarrhea as well as skin rashes, and sleep issues.  Deficiency in Vitamin B12, Cobalamine, can cause diarrhea and Restless Leg Syndrome.  Deficiency in Vitamin C can cause diarrhea and skin rashes. Thiamine deficiency can also cause heart palpitations, sleep issues, and vomiting.  Have you had your thyroid checked?  Hypothyroidism can cause body hair loss, as can iron deficiency.   I've experienced serious nutritional deficiencies which my doctors did not recognize as such and blamed me for making stuff up.  I've experienced these nutritional deficiencies.  I earned a degree in Microbiology after studying nutrition because I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.  Vitamins are special organic compounds that our bodies cannot make, so we must get them from food or supplements.  Without these vitamins, our bodies cannot function well. Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals that are lacking on the gluten free diet.  Blood tests for deficiencies in the B vitamins are not accurate.  Taking a B Complex and looking for health improvement is best.   I've got serious vision problems and would really appreciate punctuation.  Thanks P.S.  I take a combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12 and Pyridoxine B6 for back pain from crushed vertebrae.  I understand back pain.  These vitamins together relieve pain.

      Any bad experience with King Arthur Gluten-free bread flour

      By Sanna King · Posted

      King Arthur Gluten-free bread flour contains wheat starch, but has had the gluten removed. According to the FDA, it meets the FDA's gluten-free standard of less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. Has anyone here tried to bake bread from this? If yes, did you have a reaction? Thank you in advance for your time and attention.
