Problems Digesting

[Lister]

I was wondering if celiac disease can cause problems digesting foods, i recently ate chili and to say this as less grose as possible some of the beans got passed in full thru my stools, this also sometimes happens with lettece and almost always with carrots. Is this normal or should i make a apointment with my doctor?

Don't panic....................It is very normal for celiac disease people who have intestinal damage to pass foods that are undigested. Corn and nuts are noticable as well as lettuce like you mentioned. Over time you will notice less and less of these items in the bowl as your intestines heal. Just be sure to try and chew your food as good as possible to help your digestive system and avoid the big offenders until you feel better.

Best of luck!

You can try digestive enzymes. They help you break down the food so that doesn't happen as much.
