Frequent Urination. Why?

What causes this? Does anyone have this symptom?

For the past few nights, I've been peeing constantly. I've been getting up two-three times a night to pee. Its aweful.

I know I've eaten something questionable recently. I'm very itchy, hungry, new dh rash, gassy, and needing to use the bathroom too often.

I am constantly thirsty too, so I figured I was using the bathroom so much because of that. But last night I didn't drink anything despite being thirsty. I still woke.

I'm still trying to figure out what I ate that was wrong.

Anyone else have this issue as well?

A dry mouth is a frequent symptom of celiac. Perhaps you are compensating by drinking additional liquids.

Frequent urination has many causes. Frequent ruination of samll amounts indicate bladder irritation- if accompanied by discomfort - then usually points toward infection/inflammation.

If no discomfort - irritated bowel, reproductive issues (menstruation, fibromas ect) can irritates the bladder from inside the abdomen.

In malabsorbtion diseases - certain biproducts of digestion end up in your body (when they shouldn't and (as we see in the wide variety of symptoms with celiac) can impact any system, Some cause relaxation of the bladder - seen as bed wetting or frequent urination.

Urinating large volumes is related to kidney function and/or pituitary, drinking excess amount of water, and diseases that cause water loss - diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipdus, kidney failure, high salt diet can alos cause fluid rention.

I am sure i left stuff out and probably went into more detail than you anticipated. Frequent urination is not uncommon on celiacs...but if it continues, it would be wise to have it investigated. The factors that affect urine production ar many...

I do drink A LOT of water.

I am peeing a lot of stuff, and it doesn't hurt to pee. I do know I am about to get my period soon as well, and I've been having some cramping, but I cant tell if its due to my period, or from eating something not good. I seem to get the cramping in the evening only for the past few days.

ANd I have been eatings loads of salt!

I keep trying to tell myself to NOT eat it, becuase it affects my DH.

Hi,

How weird. Me too. I've been gluten free for almost 3 weeks now & find I have to get up a couple of times a night to pee & that sometimes the sheer volume of urine (sorry TMI!) seems like I've been drinking gallons of water before bedtime when I actually haven't had too much to drink? I always used to sleep right through.

I do notice when I get glutened that I am very thirsty & then later also crave salty food (along with the vomiting & other nasties!)

So no real answers, but just to say 'snap' really.

I started a post a few days ago about this very topic. My doctor told me that I may be drinking TOO much water, which just sounded silly to me, as it seems most people don't drink enough.

Anyways, this should be the link to get there (you may have to copy and paste)

There's some really good info from people on here about water consumption and dehydration and all that jazz. Hope that helps!

Gluten does not discriminate, it can effect kidney function as well as other organs. If it is from your body trying to clear the gluten it should ease soon. If it does not let up soon you should see a doctor and make sure they check your blood sugar. Undiagnosed celiac took out my pancreas, the diabetes was discovered by accident in a routine blood test at my doctors. The only symptoms I had were getting up at night to pee and I was a bit more tired than usual. I have been gluten-free for almost 4 years but the doctor was quite certain that the celiac caused the diabetes. Once my blood sugar was under control the nightly peeing pees stopped. This may not be the case for you but you should make sure diabetes is not lurking.

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy.
