think my entire life I was pooping once every few days. I recently started gluten free (and dairy free) diet, I'm in my 10 day now I think. Today I pooped 3 times. I never had it before. What does it mean? That my gut are healing? Or what?

Some people who are gluten sensitive get constipated, and some have diarrhea. In your case it is possible that it caused constipation, and now your gut is healing, and you're getting less constipated.

Is your stool well-formed? If the poop is not well-formed but loose it could be that you are not tolerating some ingredient in gluten-free recipes. Many gluten-free recipes, especially with processed gluten-free baked goods, have ingredients that celiacs don't tolerate will such as xanthan gum.

Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or has celiac disease been officially ruled out?

I mostly eat rice and chicken, some legumes, nuts and seeds, I'm avoiding processed foods, and my stool used to be painful and hard and now it's all soft and going out smooth.

Not officially. But a naturopath told me I have to avoid gluten according to tests he made and he knows me and my medical condition and he said I have to stop eating gluten and he thinks I'm sensitive or even have more severe form of gluten intolerance or allergy.

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it. 
    • Zuma888
      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
