So i thought celiac disease usally gives you D but almost always i seem to be constipated, never remember reading this as as symptom, When i was sick with the flue about a month ago i had really bad D that continued for over 2 weeks until they moved me back onto reguler foods, i continued to eat and continued to eat, was having better movements but malaboshion was obviuse * food was coming back out htat i ate but not D* then i went out to eat and had a club sandwich with batterd cross hatch frys the next day the blood stools started. After about 4 days of these my doctor finally saw me and said i may have IBS but to also do some research into celiac disease and eat as if i had it, thats when i joined this site. After following the diet for about 2 days the blood went away and i started to be reguler again * and started to feel great :)* then last week i had D for one day and my symptoms started to come back the D went away but now im all plugged up, i dont really feel like i need to go but i know i should since i have only gone once today and never really yesterday. Can celiac make you plugged or am i eating something wrong or maybe its not celiac that is really causing my symptoms i dont know. Not to worried about it just looking for some opinions on my corked bum

As many questions as you've had, you should be getting to the top of the learning curve fast. Yes C can be a symptom of celiac disease. That's what I have now, but i did start off with the classic D of celiac disease. (floating, frothy, pale and oh so very very stinky). Certain foods bind me - cheese, rice and bananas. But I can usually counter that with dried apricots, raisins and pears. Lots of water. Whenever things don't go as needed, I use Citucel - it's gluten-free and was recommended to my by my gi. I know the dosage seems excessive, but I start out with one dose at night, then again in the a.m. if things still aren't going, and keep it up until things do move along. Since I've upped my fruit intake, I haven't had to resort to good ole Milk of Mag. That's a sure fire unstopper!

You can absolutely have C. I did. The "Old Paradigm" of Celiac says D only, but now we know that paradigm was wrong. You can have one or the other or alternate between.

Lister--I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but bananas are constipating for a lot of people. That's why when kids (or anyone) gets D, they're told to eat bananas. How about an apple or some other fruit that you like?

i was staying away from other fruits because of acidic content, my stomic still gets upset really easaly and bananans are cheap. Oh well i guess just rice chips today for me then, as the only food i have is some rice chips bananas and some pork and potatoes but i cant cook the pork or potatoes because i cant get a email back from ajax about there soap

im not really eating too many bananas either, i had 1 that one day and 2 yesterday unless thats alot?

A little good news for you here--according to the CSA Gluten Free Product Guide, Ajax dish liquids--all variants--are gluten-free! Now you can make yourself a good meal! :) Cause you're not getting enough protein ;)

I think I am the queen of C, I pretty much never get D so when I do I know something really is not right with my system.

What works for me with the C is drinking hot water with lemon juice from about 1/2 a lemon. Also eating watermelon often does the trick.

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

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

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

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
