I have never asked what was normal just knew mine wasnt since about three years ago especially. Its always been yellow and diarrhea and always floats. Since going gluten free its changing. One was a good change no diarrhea anymore and its brown now yay! Still floats and a weird new thing it is flaky? I did a search and only found pastry info! lol :blink: Not what I was looking for! :P

Anybody have this else when they were new to being gluten free? If I asked my dh if his was like this I think he couldnt handle it :blink::o

Mine didn't get flaky, but mine did stay odd for a while after going gluten-free. They had been all kinds of odd for years. Now they're brown and sink. Every day. Unless I get glutened or sick. It did take a while for them to normalize - a few months. I think it just takes a while for your body to heal and start processing things properly.

Thanks Again :)

I'm so hopeful that part of it is changing, I cant wait to get back to where I was and get my hair back that I lost.

Autumn :)

      gluten-free Canada finds

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Tell him to get me a case...just kidding! I wonder why they are not labelled gluten-free here in the USA? They don't have gluten ingredients.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Pamela Kay · Posted

      Glad this helped. There are lots of alternative breads out there, so someone has likely made some sort of paleo bread with no grain. And if you bake, experiment with some of the alternative flours to see what you can come up with. If you commit to the gluten-free diet 100%, you may want to do a bit of research on some of the tricker aspects of getting gluten out of your diet, such as cross contamination in the home kitchen (pots and pans, cutting boards, toaster, airborne flour). Don't feel you have to do everything at once, or let this overwhelm you. I've always said that going gluten free is a process, not a moment. The reason I mention this is that, if you think you are gluten-free, but still having symptoms, you may realize that even minute amounts of gluten cause a reaction for a while. Let me know if you have any questions.  Pam

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The doctor was correct--if you are gluten-free the blood panel for celiac disease will not work, you would need to go on gluten challenge in order to be tested. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      A question - eggs & dairy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It could, but it could also mean that gluten still not being fully eliminated. It's important to get a celiac disease blood panel to help figure this out. For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions that can cause damaged villi:

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By jeffpine · Posted

      Some Mod asked me about blood tests. Dr said no need, nowhere to go as I am gluten-free alreay. He threw around terms like: TTG  2P DQH. not sure if it relates to gluten-free but he removed a polyp in 2022 and will recheck in 27. so my conclusion is that I am mostly gluten-free but not strict. Much obliged, Jeff
