Ok- let's define a normal BM as not diarrhea, not rock hard, not painful or accompanied by cramping, somewhere in the area of a brownish color, don't care if it floats or sinks :P or sinks then floats (kind of like an exorcist poop!).

Just wondering. Trying to figure out where in the range I am here. They are way better than they were about 6 months ago- less constipated (my main problem), have had several recent bouts of diarrhea after antibiotics (mostly related to having dairy), but sometimes I just have these days where I poop non-stop (not D but soft) and I feel like crud. Nauseous, upset tummy, achey. I KNOW it's not gluten, I think it might be soy (which I cut out 3 weeks ago so re-learning how to avoid a new food) but sometimes I just wonder if I might actually have IBS. I doubt it, but I'm just wondering how others fare in the toilette! Thanks- I know this is not a pleasant topic for a summer day. B

OK, for the first time in YEARS, I don't have anything in my diet, currently, that is bothering me. AND the first thing I noticed was, wow, I am not going to the bathroom 3+ times a day, always D. I was NORMAL!!!! Even told the hubby--I was so proud (scarry, ain't it).

I could be wrong but I think that the deal is the ultimate BM floats for a few seconds and then sinks gently. :P

No, I was just saying that in terms of answering the question I personally didn't care if they float or sank. This is cracking me up for some reason...overtired. :blink:

True..'tis, but I've been gluten-free for about a year and a half and something is still troubling my gut and I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. No gluten, no soy, no legumes, but something is still not right as I have days where I don't feel glutened, but I don't feel good and go to the bathroom like4-5 times and I cannot figure out what it is. <_<

I guess I'm trying to gauge if I still have a leaky gut after all this time. Or if I need to eliminate another food. I recently cut out all legumes, and that has improved many things but not everything. :huh:

I figure the best place to ask would be here where these "issues" are freely discussed. B)

Ok - I'll play. I've only been gluten-free for 2 months now so am not seeing any improvement, but I have BMs (sometimes D but mostly just soft - not pure liquid) at least 5-6 times per day (this is better than before going gluten-free - used to have BMs 8-10 times per day!). I also used to have a very large, hard poop every morning that would make me cry and clog up the toilet, but I haven't had that since going gluten-free :)

Actually charmaine broxton, poop, or lack there of, is a popular subject around here. Since it is so much a part of the condition, either the big "d" or the big "c". :D

I'm pretty regular now Berneses, after struggling with the big "C" all my life. I think it id due to cutting out my many intolerances other than gluten and just eating more whole foods and balanced meals.

I used to have quite a few per day, before I knew I had celiac disease. I only got really bad BMs when I hate extreme amounts of gluten (like after carbo-loading), but usually they were frequent and quite tan.

Now it's down to like 1 a day. If I get glutened now, I get our good friend Mr. C.

Thanks Julie- I think everyone was starting to think I was weird.

Hi bernesses.....I'm new here, but was wondering if maybe casein is your other intolerance??

Thanks for the poop discussions. :blink: I'm trying to figure things out yet!!

I keep a poop diary B) I like to keep track of how things are moving. I used to go maybe two to three times a week and it would be hard to pass. Now I'm going about 5 times a week and not so much strain anymore. For about 4 days I tried to eat the recommended amount of fiber a day, I think its 25 to 30 grams and found it alittle hard to follow. You really had to have 2 fruits and about 4 servings of vegetable aday. But for chronic C's like me it makes the most effortless bm's. I get jealous of people who can bran cereal or muffins.....so much easier.

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not...

      Blood tests low iGA 4 years later digestive issues

      Hi there any advice welcomed. I have had 4 years of symptoms ranging from immune related anaphylactic symptom sudden onset food allergy to peppers/paprika/chilli/capsicum family derivatives. all these allergies fizzled out and following a food challenge test in hospital I reintroduced them a few months ago. Since then my digestive system is...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese. Sulfites cause a high histamine release. High histamine levels are found in migraine. Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet,...

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      Hi there any advice welcomed. I have had 4 years of symptoms ranging from immune related anaphylactic symptom sudden onset food allergy to peppers/paprika/chilli/capsicum family derivatives. all these allergies fizzled out and following a food challenge test in hospital I reintroduced them a few months ago. Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."
