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.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Gluten free food is not fortified with vitamins and minerals as regular food is.  Vitamin deficiencies are common especially in recently diagnosed persons,  Get a 25(OH)Vitamin D blood test. And work on raising it.  The safe upper blood level is around 200 nmol/L.    "Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with increased risk of autoimmune disease onset and/or high disease activity. The role of vitamin D in autoimmune diseases   🏋️‍♂️Good job!   I find the commercial milk will give me mild stomach burn at night, while pasture/grassfed only milk does not bother me at all.  While you are healing, listen to your body.  If it hurts to eat something, eat something else.  You may be able to eat it later, or maybe it is just not good for you.  Lower your Omega 6 to 3 ratio of what you eat.  Most omega 6 fatty acids are inflammation causing.    The standard american diet omega 6:3 ratio is estimated at upward of 14:1.  Thats why fish oil works

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.

      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.
