Constipation With Celiac?

Ok I go from diareal, to soft mooshy stools, to hard stools, to smooshy stools but feeling constipated, what in the heck is up with me? I have not been gluten free because I have been trying to put tons in my system until I had my tests on Monday, but I was gluten free for a day after my pain so maybe that's where the hard stools came from! Man if I test negative I'm going to scream!!

I had the same thing for most of my life before going gluten-free. I have never tested positive for Celiac though, so maybe I can't help. (The only Celiac testing my doctor did was after I'd been off wheat and had almost no gluten for almost 10 years - no surprise that everything was normal.) All I know is that everything is running "regular" since I got my diet straightened out, unless I get dehydrated.

Hi,

I alternate between C and D.... C for a few days to a week, then D, then back again. Am not formally diagnosed thought the colonoscopy biospsy found chronic inflammation (dr. didn't check the right things to test for celiac). However, diet seems to be helping some (WHEN I manage to get it right - seem to be doing a pretty good job of getting glutened (or whatever it is that upsets me) at the moment).

I had such a combination, such a weird condition, not really diarrhea, but not really constipation, just very annoying, difficult too-much pooping and lots of discomfort and bad things...I couldn't explain it with existing words, so I re-named it constarrhea...for lack of better description.

I was never diganosed by anyone other than myself, but that constarrhea is about history with me now, in my 10th month of gluten free.

I definitely go from one extreme to the other. I found the C weeks were better because I wasn't cramping(eesh), but then I knew the D was to follow sooner than later. I would actually have a few normal days in between as I was moving from one to the other. I found adding fiber like Metamucil really helped to regulate me and my extremes were less drastic... although I still rotated.

I am new so I am not sure how it is all going to go down for me in the future--

      Curious question

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

      Alarming

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      I've noticed with my age and menopause my smell for bread gives me severe migraines and I know this.Its alarming that there are all these fabulous bakeries, sandwich places pizza places popping up in confined areas.Just the other day I suffered a migraine after I got done with my mri when a guy with a brown paper bag walk in front of me and I smelled that fresh dough bread with tuna, I got a migraine when we got home.I hate im that sensitive. Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
