  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?

augustmoon Rookie

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

knitty kitty Grand Master

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?

augustmoon Rookie

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.

augustmoon Rookie

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.

      No, I would not say this at all. If you were diagnosed with celiac disease and were gluten-free for a while, you could have gone into remission. Everyone's body is different, and some celiacs may be able to get regular contamination and not end up with damaged villi and positive antibody tests, while others who ingest tiny amounts will relapse and have full blown symptoms and flattened villi.  Only a full gluten challenge would reveal where you are at this point. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Great  post. The skin issue can be intolerable. I have been taking niacinamide for the past month and have improved with respect to the blistering lesions.

      I've found taking Niacin Vitamin B 3 in the form that causes flushing (nicotinic acid) helps immensely to clear my skin.  The flushing is harmless and goes away the longer Niacin is taken.  The flushing (vasodilation in the skin) helps the body get rid of the tTg 3 IgA antibodies that cause the blisters.  TTg 2 IgA antibodies are found in the blood and are measured in diagnostic testing for Celiac.  People with Dermatitis Herpetiformis make tTg 3 as well as tTg 2 antibodies.  Niacin Vitamin B3 in the non flushing form niacinamide also works without the flushing, but takes a bit longer.   I also avoid foods containing high levels of iodine because iodine activates the tTg 3 IgA antibodies to become more active and make more blisters.  I avoid kelp (nori, seaweed) and crustaceans,  eggs, dairy products, and iodized table salt.   Niacinamide and Nicotinic acid are water soluble and harmless.  I'd much rather take Niacin than Dapsone with scary side effects.

      We have a gluten-free household. It's the least stressful option. No one else in my family has Celiac, but they are all extremely supportive. We don't even have Play-doh for this kids.
