Gross Poo Question

OK, I have to ask this...is mucus in your stools a symptom of celiac disease? I noticed during my two week gluten-free peroid that this didn't appear to be happening. Now that I'm black on gluten, suddenly every now and then when I er go....there is mucus visible. I've had this for YEARS, never thought it was anything abnormal. From time to time I've even seen a bit of blood in this mucus. It never occurred to me this was a symptom of celiac disease....

When it happens to me, it means I've been eating a high fat food (potato chips usually!). It could also mean you are not absorbing enough nutrients.

This is a common symptom found with many people who have Celiac or absorption issues, which often go hand-in-hand.

Why are you back eating gluten?

Why are you back eating gluten?

Good question, I posted about this the other day. I seek convincing evidence because I have a

twin brother. I want to be able to push it in his face and say "Celiac".

He has the same tooth enamel defects I have, if I have it he does.

I'm going to tough it out for a few weeks and get the standard blood test and perhaps

a biopsy. I need to know for sure.

Enterolab makes a good case for me having it, but I want more evidence. That's why.

It's not much fun...especially going from gluten-free to eating Gluten again...that was tough. Jerry

      Newly Diagnosed

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @NCalvo822! Ditto to what Scott said. But let me ask you, what method or methods did your physician use to diagnose you as having celiac disease? Normally, it is a two step process. The first step involves a blood test that looks for certain antibodies produced by celiac disease. The second step involves an upper GI scoping and biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for the damage to the lining typically caused by celiac disease. This second step is used as confirmation of the blood work when the antibody testing turns up some positives. Occasionally, positive antibody tests scores can be caused by things besides celiac disease. Which of these were done or did you have both done before the doc declared you to have celiac disease?

      Thanks for sharing this info! Frustrating to see companies who haven't used wheat as an ingredient start to do so! https://blistex.com/product/five-star-lip-protection/

      Frustrated

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet to get my symptoms calmed down and my nutrients up.   I know what a struggle it is.  You're why I'm here. Smoothing out some rough parts of your journey makes my journey worthwhile. Here's the tests you can get for Celiac antibodies...

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, I'm with you!   I could not take Metformin.  I got so sick, constant diarrhea, abdominal cramps, extreme highs and lows, no energy, weight loss, muscle wasting.  Just horrible.   Metformin is known to block thiamine absorption.  Talk to your doctor about thiamine deficiency.  It's called Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  My doctor didn't recognize thiamine deficiency outside of alcoholism.  So I took over the counter Thiamine in the form Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide and felt health improvement within an hour.  Magical!   I followed the Autoimmune Protocol diet to get my stomach calmed down and control my blood glucose levels without medication. Being diabetic, we lose more thiamine through our kidneys, and the Metformin on top of it and malabsorption from Celiac.  Talk to your doctor soon!
