A Question For Those With Constipation Problems

Hi :)

If you get "backed up" do you experience severe bloating and pain? I thought i'd been glutened yesterday, but I think it was just some serious C.

Also, if you take something to help you go, do you often feel better as it starts working but before you actually go? I felt horrible all day yesterday than I mixed some miralax with V8. This morning I felt almost back to normal even before I actually went. The only thing I can think is that it was because the Miralax has already softened the "stuff" which provided relief even before it came out.

Any thoughts?

You know, Elizabeth, that 'serious C' can be a symptom of a glutening as well as D? Especially if it is accompanied by bloating and pain. With me, a glutening can go either way. Sometimes stomach and bowel cramps followed by D, or bloating, severe pain and C.

Try drinking some prune juice, or eat some steamed prunes. Also, drinking lots of water is helpful.

I had some serious C due to the neurological damage . . . my autonomic nervous system doesn't know how to function properly, so I don't sweat, don't have intestinal peristalsis, etc. I take Miralax twice a day . . . it has been a Godsend. I tried everything . . . the only time I would go is when I took two Pericolace, drank two to three bottles of water, ate 14-15 prunes and took magnesium . . . it was pretty bad. The GI doc doesn't seem to be too worried about the Miralax and dependency . . . he gave me a year's prescription for it.

I used to have this all the time, except when I had "D". :unsure: My body had forgotten how to go on it's own. I later found out wheat does this to me. Even a minute amount ...

Have you tried using oils, like EVOO, grapeseed oil, flax or borage ? These are good for you and will not affect have a negative effect your cholesteral.

I don't remember feeling better before going but it has been a long time since I was like this. Kefir can make my stomach feel better if I am bloated though.

Hope this helps .. marcia

I drink dandelion coffee (the granules not the tea bags, the latter doesn't work as well) from the health shop, seems to help me go v regularly. Seems to stimulate my liver and get everything working well and I feel really good on it. Just one cup and not even every day.

Yes, I definitely get more C when I've been glutened. I have found that since I went gluten-free, my C isn't nearly as bad, but I still have it. Even when I was on an elimination diet I had it.

I should go get some prunes... I always forget about that as being a good remedy. Thanks :)

Are you sure your C isn't from being glutened? Just a thought.

Before going gluten-free I was almost always C. Went maybe once a week. Since going gluten-free I only get C when I've been glutened. Terrible bloating and pain then C for several days.

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Hi Colleen H,   I suffered with the pins and needles/burning feeling in my legs and feet for at least  6 years until my Nephrologist figured out that I had to go on a low salt diet.  He said my kidneys weren't strong enough to remove the salt.  The simple fix was a diuretic, but that med leaves the uric acid behind, so that wasn't an option.  On the bright side the low salt diet lowered my BP over 20 points and and the pins and needles/burning feeling went away.  Good Luck and hope this helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      I assume that you already know that genetic testing for celiac disease cannot be used to confirm a celiac diagnosis. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. It can be used to rule out celiac disease with a high degree of confidence, however, in the case where the genetic testing is negative for the genes. Until and unless you are actually diagnosed with celiac disease I would not raise this as an issue with family. However, if you are diagnosed with celiac disease through blood antibody testing and/or endoscopy with positive biopsy I would suggest you encourage first degree relatives to also purse testing because there is a significant chance (somewhere betwee 10% and almost 50%, depending on which studies you reference) that they will also have or will develop active celiac disease. Often, there are symptoms are absent or very minor until damage to the small bowel lining or other body systems becomes significant so be prepared that they may blow you off. We call this "silent celiac disease".
