Feeling Like You Have To Urinate But You Don't.

When I am really bloated I feel like I have to urinate but when I try to go nothing happens. This happens to me all of the time especially when I working out. Anyone relate? I guess this is just a factor of being bloated and the pressure on your bladder.

Also, please look the thread "Blood test-which number is most important?", I posted the results of my blood test and I would appreciate anyone's help on figuring out what it means.

I think women probably have more "fun" with this aspect then men. Especially those of us who have had at least one pregnancy. That urge can come from so many things - diet, mild uti, mild bladder infection, lack of enough liquids (I'm guilty of that one a lot) and if I'm constipated for more than a day, I'll leak. Good thing the bathroom is real close to my office at work. Could be worse, I guess. At least I don't have to wear an adult diaper!!

Yes--and it also is different for me at different times of the month ;) . When I'm coming back from a gluten reaction, when the nausea lifts, I always have the urge to go more. A lot of things can affect it.

If you have any burning sensation when that happens, get in right away and check for a bladder infection. It does happen without an infection, especially those of us who have had a hysterectomy. But that is also the first sign of an infection. So you want to really know the difference.

Check for burning, a touch of blood, and a mild rise in temperature.

If these are not there, then relax and start wearing a panty liner :)

Viola,

Your last line is hilarious. I guess I will have to come to terms with it. :)

No burning, blood, or such I just feel like I have to go but I can't. Maybe I will bring it up to my dr when I see him in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for the help.

There is a couple of other things that cause this, even in men as I've noticed in both my hubby and other male relatives.

If you tend to worry about where the nearest bathroom is going to be when you are out, or .. have company coming and you don't want to be embarressed by frequent bathroom visits .. then this really tends to happen big time. It's triggered by stress, the more you worry, the more you need that last bathroom visit before you go, or before your company gets there. And of course, you really don't have any left to go with.

Our bodies are really strange sometimes. But just to make sure it isn't something really physical .. DO ask your doctor.

Hum? I never really thought of it as something actaully wrong, just annoying. I WebMd'd cystitis and I am not sure if I match the majority of the symptoms except the feeling to urinate. I think I will definately talk to the dr. Jenvan, do you know anyone who has this (cystits)? Is it related to celiac?

I do think Viola might have a point about stress b/c i am always stressed out. Big time. I can't seem to not be stressed. Gray hair at 23 and all!

Erin-

I had cystitis for a period of time, but eventually it went away...Strange as it was. Docs didn't have any answers, just tried lots of antibiotics. For me it coincided with the onset of an infection and then a ruptured cyst, but it persisted for months after both of those had been resolved. My only symptoms was feeling like I always had to go to the bathroom. I'm going to pm with some other stuff....

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      Ferritin levels.  And see what your hemoglobin looks like too, that will tell you if you are anemic?  You can have 'low normal' levels that will not be flagged by blood tests.  I had 'low normal' levels, my lab reading was. c12, just over what was considered normal, but I had small benign lesion on my tongue, and sometimes a sore mouth, and a consultant maxillofacial ordered an iron infusion for me as he felt my levels were too low and if he  raised them to 40, it would help.   Because you are not feeling 100% it might be worth looking at your levels, then discussing with your doctor if they are low normal.  But I stress, don't supplement iron without your levels being monitored, too much is dangerous.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?
