Frequent toilet stops after going gluten-free

[Nicole Maree]

So need some guidance here was diagnosed now 4 months ago and have been going gluten-free.  But I must admit haven’t been strict with the dairy.  On some days I’m great and then days like today I’m on the toilet four times and severe nausea -  it seems I’m getting worse before better the more gluten-free I become.  I have anxiety around the toilet issue and obviously over think the worse.  I did start taking herbal supplements and minerals and a probiotic a few days ago wondering if this is contributing or if it’s the coffee or perhaps the alcoholic beverage I had yesterday?  Just need some reassurance

It's difficult to know the source of your issues without knowing more about what you've been eating, and whether or not you fully understand a gluten-free diet. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful:

Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months.

Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
