Poop Pictures

(I'm new here, so I hope you don't mind me joining the conversation...)

All I gotta say is that you're all friggin awesome! (Funny, too)

I think most people would read a page like this and think you're all crazy... I know some people who don't even look after going. I thought I was a bit strange, since I have a flashlight in the bathroom drawer just to make sure I get a good look at it. (I've never told anyone else that, either)

I've been trying to figure things out with my doctor, and all I can think about is "If only I could get someone to look at this crap... 'cause that is NOT NORMAL!" But I think my doc would be rather grossed out if I were to bring in pictures. So I just keep going, and wondering why I keep flushing away all the evidence...

Looking at that Bristol scale, I've had more than 1 type in the same sitting. Complete with mucous, too. But then again, there's always mucous. So I don't know what that's all about...

Has anyone ever shown a pic to someone? I'd imagine to the trained eye, that'd be quite helpful in identifying things, but there just doesn't seem to be anyone to show 'em to.

I don't think you need pictures, I've gotten a good idea of what you're seeing just from your post! :lol:

Weclome to the conversation ... you are supposed to jump right in!

Oh, and Lister, congrats on being normal! :P

Welcome! Yup, things get kinda crazy here sometimes...

But, just to let you know, I too examined my poop with a flashlight, so I would know EXACTLY what to tell my GI. Photographs were too gross, so I had to give him a nice, verbal picture.

It was kind of exciting to see normal poop come back, like seeing a long-lost friend..... :rolleyes:

I wanted to throw a party and invite everyone who knew about my problem the first time I had poop that was actually formed!!! It really had a shape!!! What joy!!!!

My husband tells me those exact words all the time ... "You are one sick individual!" And, he's always complained about my family's fascination with poop. Funny that no one else considers they may have a gluten problem with all this bm talk!

You think we are sick, there is a website my brother-in-law told us about called ratemypoo ... it's really sick. Don't see the purpose to it at all!

I'm in mourning for my normal stools... :P:(:)

I was at the point early this year that I was mostly feeling good, and my stools were of the 3 and 4 variety... and now I'm back to a wide variety again, if you know what I mean... Blaah. If i get back to normal, I'm definitely going to celebrate! :D

I have taken pics of Curran's poops in the past and have yet to actually show the pics to anyone. When I felt that 2 months of diarrhea blowouts of 10 to 15 times a day was likely NOT toddlers tummy I decided to get my point across the old fashioned way as describing it to the ped was obviously not working. So I scraped a tablespoon of it out of the diaper (he was 2 years old then) and put it in a plastic bag. Then another plastic bag and another and then into the diaper bag. You could smell me coming and the ped was appalled by it and the smell. Got me the start of testing back then and a our first referral to a GI (unfortunately he was an idiot). The point is that a picture may be worth a thousand words but one tablespoon of the stuff made everyone in the office gag and wish they could open the windows! :lol: Trust me, I have done this a few times now and I always seem to get processed a bit quicker and also it drives home that I am NOT exaggerating about it. ;)

How about this name for the poop pictures... Its a crap shoot?

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Hi Lily Ivy. Thanks for responding. Did you have withdrawal? If so, what was it like and for how long?

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
