Does anyone else here currently or have you ever experienced light stools?mine are usually a yellowish color and if I've had gluten it’s like straight liquid, super acidic like it burns really bad sorry TMI....also horrible cramping I think I must have accidentally eaten gluten somewhere but it’s going on day three now with diarrhea and cramping as well, then I get horrible ear ache and headache which never connected to gluten till I went gluten free, then I also get body aches and numbness/tingling in my extremities as well...please tell me I’m not the only one dealing with these types of symptoms ?

Hi Lynn

its been a month since I came back to US and my bowel movement from once a day changed to 3 times a day,and it’s either light  loose or solid. I became extremely anxious like it’s out of control. I did have ear pressure,tingling numbness joint pain,those are gone now. Had my blood work after being on gluten-free for 3 months and they look much better. But as I said I’m tired of being scared and checking my stool nonstop, worrying about everything. Hope you feel better soon.

So have you been gluten-free for three months or longer then that? I ask cause ive herd depending on how high your antibodies where to gluten before that it can take much longer then three months for them to go back to within normal limits...also by light stool are you referring to the color cause that’s what I was referring to..mine have been very light like a yellow in color for about a year now just diagnosed three months ago but feel that I’ve been glutened a few times now honestly...

It’s light color and fluffy with mucus. My antibody were negative, I got diagnosed with positive biopsy and genetic panel. I’m so tired of stress it causing. I can’t sleep at nights,thinking non stop of my disease…

      I have found that in addition to gluten, I am sensitive to inulin/chicory root fiber. I wondered why I had gastrointestinal symptoms after drinking a Chobani yogurt drink - much like being glutened. Happened at least twice before I figured out that it was that chicory root fiber additive. I do not react to ordinary dairy, yogurt, etc.  For the holidays, I will only be baking gluten-free treats. I got rid of all gluten-containing flours, mixes and pastas in my kitchen. Much easier to avoid cross-contamination that way!

      It's great to hear that your gluten-free journey has been going well overall, and it's smart to be a detective when a reaction occurs. Distinguishing between a gluten cross-contamination issue and a reaction to high fiber can be tricky, as symptoms can sometimes overlap. The sudden, intense, food poisoning-like hour you experienced does sound more consistent with a specific intolerance or contamination, as a high-fiber reaction typically involves more digestive discomfort like bloating or gas that lasts longer. Since the protein bar was the only new variable, it’s a strong suspect; it's worth checking if it contains ingredients like sugar alcohols (e.g., maltitol, sorbitol) or certain fibers (inulin/chicory root) that are notorious for causing acute digestive upset, even in gluten-free products. For your holiday baking, your plan is solid: bake the gluten-free items first, use entirely separate utensils and pans (not just washed), and consider color-coding tools to avoid mix-ups. Additionally, store your gluten-free flours and ingredients well away from any airborne wheat flour, which can stay in the air for hours and settle on surfaces. Keep listening to your body and introducing new packaged foods one at a time—it’s the best way to navigate and pinpoint triggers on your journey.
