  I am pooping out sharp little stones 2 to 3mm when I take a photo and blow it up they have the pattern of peach pits. It's the strangest thing. I did a celiac screening and was negative.

Welcome to the forum!

Do you have anemia or Diabetes? Thiamine and magnesium deficiencies can cause constipation. 

Are you keeping a food mood poo'd journal?  Do you know which food is causing the peach pit problem?  

Have you been checked for H. Pylori infection?

I did get tested for the h pylori. They are actually tiny sharp stones but when you blow up the photo they have a pattern to them.  I'm so puzzled

Was the H. Pylori test negative?

Have you been tested for intestinal parasites?

Do you have constipation?  Is this with every bowel movement?

What have you been eating?  Are you eating gluten?

Yes the test for pylori was negative. I've gained weight, my vitamins are normal I have energy and seem healthy but I use the restroom very frequently with floaty mushy stool. Doctor said ibs but that's so vague.

I don't know if im actually constipated but I've been known to have lumpy pebbles followed by soft mushy poo. Sorry so detailed. 😞😓😩

@augustmoon,

No worries, we talk about poop a lot here.  

Are you currently eating gluten?  Or have you gone gluten free?

Do you eat a lot of carbohydrates?

Were you eating lots of gluten prior to your Celiac test? 

What symptoms made you get a Celiac test?

Constant pooping it's become a burden and it itches. Their is mucous. It's just such an ordeal. Is their anyway to send a photo of the stones? They are just so bizzar

Not sure if it’ll work as I’ve never had stones but lots of blood and mucus. I’ve found that kefir helps, I’m pretty dependent on it. I’ve recommended it to lots of people with gut problems of all sorts and it seems to help most of them.

I’d collect some of the stones and see if you can get them lab tested.

OK I feel silly but I figured it out they were raspberry seeds I looked at photos of close up seeds and they had that neat pattern so no stones, but I do have digestive issues. I'll try the  kefir. Thanks for the advise.

Update......raspberry and blackberry seeds lol. But I found out I had SIBO. I just cured a 7 year long problem with Berberine. No more serious issues.

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.

      nothing has changed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people.
