No Delicate Way To Say This But....

Sorry for the gross topic, but I've had this problem for about a week now, ever since my last bout of

the big D. I believe it's getting better now, but what is the deal with that? Is it a symptom also and does it go away? Thanks, I promise not to ask any more poo questions, at least today :blink:

Don't worry, we're all comfortable talking about poo :P

Pale stools are a symptom of celiac. Giving TMI about myself, for almost 4 years mine have ranged from "summer squash" to "pumpkin". Nobody seems to concerned about it for some reason, but it is a signal you aren't absorbing stuff or that you're digesting too quickly, I think.

Hmm, interesting, I wasn't sure that this was a symptom of it. Now I have Enamel Hypoplasia and

yellowish un er...poo. It will be interesting to get tested...

I have no obvious symptoms of malabsorbtion that you'd notice from looking at me. Other than

short stature, which I got from my 4'11" mother (I managed 5'6"). I'm a muscular 175 pounds, it's

not like I'm scrawny at all.

I do however fit the profile that I've read about. Blond, European decent, short stature. We will see.....

I used to have this a lot, too, in the beginning especially. I think it's from the food passing through your system too quickly.

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.
