One Last Question

Hi everyone,

I feel like I'm peppering this board with questions, but I"m new to celiac and don't know how to interpret what is going on with me.

One final health-related question - once beginning the gluten-free diet, is it normal to experience increased urination? It's very strange, I know diabetes should be ruled out, but recent blood sugar tests have been normal.

Just wondering if this is an adjustment of my body to the new diet. Any thoughts? :P

I had to laugh because I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else. (but it certainly may have been) YES! This happened to me. I told my husband that if I was going to have to pee this much, I might just go back to gluten. (A ridiculous thing to say given how sick I'd been) I was spending almost as much time in the bathroom, but for a different reason. I don't remember when that symptom started exactly, fairly early in my gluten-free. BUT, that symptom didn't last, maybe a couple of weeks.

Nothing would surprise me! I didn't have that particular problem but I gained a whole bunch of other issues I never had before.

Not sure but I think the increase in urination is because the body is trying to get rid of the toxin. I noticed this also and also notice an increase when I am glutened. I know I am at the end of the aftereffects of gluten when I finally sleep through the night without getting up to pee, usually a couple of weeks after I get glutened. While it is going on I try to restrict my fluids after 6 pm but increase them early in the day to try and speed things through.

All of your questions are not a bother. If you hang around, you will see that we ask tons of the weirdest questions ever!

If one of your symptoms was diarrhea, then your body is now sending the fluids to the kidneys, where it belongs, instead of to your intestines. I was constipated all the time, and now I actually pee less, as fluid is going to my intestines in proper amounts.

I really hope this is not your final question. We are here to help each other. Check labels, find substitutions, learn new information, and in general just dealing with a gluten free diet.

Yes, I do think there was more frequent urination on the gluten-free diet. Makes since because it was stopping the daily "D" runs for me.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
