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.

      Low iron and vitamin d

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer. Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks...

      Low iron and vitamin d

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?

I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.
