Hi Everyone,

I am new to this site and I need some help from everyone.

I was diagnosed in Jan 06 and have been gluten free since most days I feel pretty good, but I do have really bad days as everyone I am sure can relate to. I also have U.C. and IBD. Now my question is I get a really bad case of the D's when I have to go see the Dr. now I know this proably sounds a little nutty be could I be giving myself "panic attacks" so I don't have to go out? I will say I have a very good Dr. As many of you know I had to go thru alot of Drs before being dianosed correctly before him I had all kinds of tests and was told by the gastro I don't know what is causing these problems it was my family dr and all he did was listen to me... No surpise there. Please I welcome all help.

Thank you for listening......

Yes, you can give yourself "d" just from stress. It happens to my Mom all the time...whenever she gets stressed, anxious or worried she ends up having to run to the bathroom. I dont know if thats whats happenning to you....just letting you know that it can happen.

Thanks I can't take over the counter meds because those bind me up and then I have bigger problems..I just feel that I am caught in a catch 20/20. I have tried not to think about anything and relaxation breathing and it just does not seem to help.

I also get D when stressed and if I know I have something stressful coming up, I try to plan my diet accordingly. I won't eat "questionable" foods (foods that somestimes seem to give me problems) and will eat rice, bananas, etc. beforehand to help keep my G I tract stable. I think sometimes just telling myself I'm in control of it seems to help.

It is possible to get D when nervous or stressed--happens to my friend and her sister all the time and neither one of them have any tummy issues :) I suffer from panic attacks and think it's all part of the whole celiac disease thing--worry about whether my tummy etc is going to act up while I'm out, where the closest bathroom is...usually I'm pretty good, but if I feel slightly off I tend to stay home :(

I have several friends that deal with this, at times of high stress and anxiety, or even sadness/depression, it really affects their stomachs. They call it their "nervous stomachs"

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent. People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7. People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      There are eight essential B vitamins. They are all water soluble. Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys. Thiamine is Vitamin B 1. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily. The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is...

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
