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.

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
