Rapid bowel movement change

[Sparechange]

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?

I realize I'm new, but I'm scared and could really use some help

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.
