A Real Dirty Question...

Our son MIGHT have gotten gluten a few days ago, we do not think so, but we found some one elses food in his bag. The teacher was sure he did not eat it, it was merely placed there after lunch by mistake (first day aback in pre-school... all new teachers/assitants to train! yay! fun!)

Well this is day three when the running stools should be an issue if he got gluten, and dirty diapers are mostly normal. He ahs been acting a bit sick, and his stool is GREEN.

Does that me he has a cold or somthing? Not sure what green stools would mean?

Green poop has to do with WHAT you eat. (I googled this a while ago as it was quite a disconcerting suprise!) As far as I understand, it's not a bad thing. For example, drinking lots of Kool-Aid will turn your poop green. I think it has to do with the chemical make up of certain types of food.

I don't remember what types of food are guilty of this other than the whole KoolAid thing, because I will probably never forget about reading of a lovely college dorm experiment. :blink:

(seriously. just google green stool!)

We have been dealing with this at our house as well. I am not really sure what green poop means, but my son had it yesterday and it was actually quite runny too. It was seriously the color of really green grass. Maybe he ate some?? <_<

His nose been running , some coughing, and he has been unusally tried in addtion to the green stools so duno if that matters. His stools are much more "normal" now that he has been gluten-free for long awhile (in toddler time at least LOL) but never been quite right, but normally not green at least. heh

I do think that it was something that he ate that was green. If I drink some V-8, the next day I will have red poop, and if I have beets for dinner, whoa, you would think that I would call a doctor. I think not to worry until he has celiac issues Perhaps yes, green kool-aid.

This happened to me awhile ago and I was a little concerned. :blink: I googled "green poop" and everything came back food/food color related. The culprit for me were blue corn tortilla chips.

Yes, and you don't have to eat something green to get it. Some foods with red food coloring, for instance, can cause it. Even beets have that effect on me.

Grape Koolaid does it to my kids every time. Blue (from the koolaid) + yellow (-ish-brown) = green

My daughter usually had green poop whenever a blue food was eaten - whether yogurt, kool-aid, etc.

      Do Gluten Enzymes actually work?

      Hi everyone, I decided to post this since there's no enough online information. I'm concerned about the enzyme capsules that are said to help digest gluten. I'm waiting to end my university exams to start the gluten challenge and do the official diagnosis for Celiac Disease. A friend of mine suggested me to buy the "Gluten Digest Now" capsules...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Try heallix solution. It's at heallix.com It's a silver and fulvic acid solution. I just put it on a cotton ball and wiped the shingles area. I also took a little internally once a day. I can't remember how many times a day I applied to the area. Probably 3-4 times a day. It was the only thing that stopped the nerve pain. I don't know if the vaseline is...

      What's missing, for me, from this article, is a timeline for implementation in countries. Western countries are often quite slow to implement, and some countries I've been to have no labelling whatsoever...

      This is FANTASTIC--especially that they are recognising barley and (potentially) oats as sources of gluten/contamination! Now if only we can get labeling guidelines to clarify "spices" and "natural flavors" for those of us with other severe allergies.

      By Xravith · Posted

      Hi everyone, I decided to post this since there's no enough online information. I'm concerned about the enzyme capsules that are said to help digest gluten.  I'm waiting to end my university exams to start the gluten challenge and do the official diagnosis for Celiac Disease. A friend of mine suggested me to buy the "Gluten Digest Now" capsules during the Gluten Challenge to manage my severe side effects. But I'm not sure if it's worth it, if it's celiac disease the intestinal damage will occur regardless.  What about the symptoms? There's someone that knows if it could help to reduce them?  I’m worried people might be using these as a "safety net" without understanding how they work. Has anyone here used them during a challenge? Did they make a difference, or did they just provide a false sense of security?

I don't know if the vaseline is good.  The shingles need to dry out and heal.  Wash everything that comes in contact  with them in hot water. Don't use or wear anything twice.

His dr prescribed gabapentin 300mg 3x a day and he's also taking naproxen 500ng 2x a day and tylenol 1000mg every 6 hrs. Hope this helps  The lidocaine cream is by tylenol and is available in a large tube on Amazon or at Walmart

      What's your daily meals? Protein bars?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      What are your daily meals? Guilty pleasure snacks? Protein bars? I feel when looking for gluten free foods they are filled with sugar cholesterol. Looking for healthy gluten-free protein bars. Something to fill since sometimes I feel like not to eat anything. Especially if on vacation and unsure of cross contamination I figure go with a salad and protein bar to fill and play it safe.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      By trents · Posted

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.
