Glutened/constipation

I've eaten some deli meats the past few weeks, don't remember any brand names. I've had really really bad constipation since then. Do any of you get constipated when you are glutened?

I've also started some new meds, bromocryptine for high levels of prolactin. It could be from that also. But I think it was the meat.

In the past I've had lots of diarrhea, but I think that was from the dairy that I was eating. I am both gluten and dairy intolerant now. So I don't eat any dairy and I stay away from gluten to the best of my ability. No more deli meat!

Yes, I get constipated (with mucous, ewwwww!) after my intestines start hurting and about the same time my joints start aching. I also get C if I eat one of the other foods I'm sensitive to.

I still can't believe I'm talking about poo with other people! You know you're a celiac when... B)

Medline Plus article on Open Original Shared Link.

It mentions constipation as a "less common" side effect.

Is your brand of bromocriptine gluten-free?

I've been trying to avoid deli meats too. It seems I'm more sensitive to MSG now, I used to be able to get away with a ham sandwich or a hot dog here or there but the brain slamming headaches are telling me otherwise. ;):wacko:

Was the deli meat the kind they slice for you? If so, it's possible that it was contaminated. If any of the meats that are sold at the deli contain gluten, the slicer will be contaminated. What kind of meat was it? Chicken and turkey can contain broth to "plump" it up which has gluten.

the only deli meats I'll eat are Boar's Head, they have no fillers. And I do ask them to clean the slicer & explain why. I try to do it either early morning or late evening so it;s not so much of a hassle for them.

Other than that I totally avoid deli meats/hot dogs

Go to www.hormel.com, FAQS, Alllergens, type in gluten free. They will have a listing of their gluten free deli meats, as well as many other gluten free products that their company has. :)

      I can confirm this. I no longer have any issues with Iodine since being strictly gluten and dairy free.

      I get my supplements f from Pipingrock.com close to 10 years now. Good quality, prices, ship  worldwide.  My 25(OH)D is at 93 ng/ml after 10 years taking. In 2019 it had still only gotten to 47 ng/ml.  Celiac Disease causes low D from malabsorption. High Potency Vitamin D3, 10,000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels 4.8 out of 5 stars, average rating value. Read 1662 Reviews. Sale price$10.70 Regular price$21.39 Basil Carcinoma.  Basil cell carcinoma is the result of failure of the immune system to recognize fauty DNA in cells. It is iodine that causes apoptosis, killing old and defective cells.  Not enough vitamin D to control the immune system and not enough iodine to do the job.  I had a sebaceous cyst, my seventh facial cyst, in 2014.  It started looking like a blackhead, but grew (Third eye blind).  All my 7 previous cysts had drained and healed normally.  When I drained this, there was a hairball the size of a BB and it would not heal.  This was one of many reasons I started Gluten Free.  I chose to not have it surgically removed, because I realized I had nutrient deficiencies that were causing slow healing.  By 2015 I realized it was Iodine deficiency and started eating seaweed, which helped my muscle tone, but not the healing.  The warnings on iodine from the gov't were so scary, I was afraid to use them.  Turns out it is all based on one study on rats in 1948. "The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect:   Crying Wolf?"   Last year I started taking 600 mcg a day and it is reversing my glaucoma and fixing muscle tone, hair nails and skin all returning to healthy,  Brain fog, which had improved dramatically on Gluten Free diet, my thinking got even clearer with the iodine. Finally the cyst my bellwether since 2014, began to heal.  So I had it biopsied  in July 2025, came back basal cell carcinoma.  With the Iodine (Piping Rock Liquid Iodine 12 drops a day 😃 = 600 mcg) is healing normally and I have a follow up in December.  By then it will have healed.  It is scabbing over like a normal wound.  In 1970 the US stopped using Iodine as a dough modifier.  The daily intake of Iodine dropped in the US 50% between 1970 and 1984.  Also, prescriptions for thyroxine have doubled.  150 mcg the RDA is not enough for anything more than preventing goiter.  Growing up in the sixties just 2 slices of bread had 200 micrograms of iodine, add a glass of milk and iodized salt and you're at 300 mcg a day.  The safe upper tolerable limit in the US is 1000 mcg.  In Japan it is 3000 mcg and the average Japanese, traditional diet, averages above 1000 mcg.  Remember when in the 80's our schools were loosing competitions to Japanese schools?  Iodine.  And Japan has 50% less breast cancer.  Nicer hair nails and skin.  It the US our kids are getting dumber, more flabby.  Fertility is dependant on enough iodine, also. 600 mcg.

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?
