This Is Kind Of Gross...

Sorry for the topic, but I have a question to put out there. I'm wondering when other people's diarrhea occurs (or occured before you were dx'd) when eating gluten. Is it any time? Just after meals? Middle of the night? How long does it last? Is there any rhyme or reason to it?

I'm eating gluten to prepare for the endoscopy this week. Am off dairy, which has helped the gas but not much else--still having the other symptoms. I'm still having the diarrhea often, usually after I eat (sometimes during a meal), though it's always first thing in the morning before I do anything else. It can also range from quite watery to undigested food to toothpaste-like consistency. I'm wondering if any of it is related or if it's something else...

Thanks!

So when does it happen for you? Right away? Does it take hours? How do you know it's related?

Man, mine varies depending on what I have been contaminated with. Most of my glutenings these days are cross contamination. But I can tell you that recently I have been waking in the middle of the night. That is new and my family doctor says that is a normal celiac responce and how most people end up getting diagnosed. I never had that happen before. As for consistancy I must say, "yes" all of those things. And it lasts for quite a long time. Weeks to be more exact. Hope my responce helps.

I had just started to be gluten free right before Christmas (maybe 2 weeks I was off), and then started to put the pieces together and figure out that my problems may truly be gluten related, so I went back on in preparation for the endoscopy. I guess I really haven't been off long enough, but I certainly did feel better while I was off of it. It will be interesting to see what happens with the results of the next round of testing.

within an hour after I eat something bad, if I take Immodium it usually will clear up within a few hours, but for bad glutenings, man I suffer with loose movements for a few days.... :o

Chocolatelover,

Before diagnosis I usually had one trip to the bathroom in the morning, and that would be diarhoea, but usually only the once a day but it was not watery, just like the toothpaste consistency you describe, and floating.

Randomly in the middle of the night, especially after eating too much during the day, as in special morning teas, or eating out, it would catch me in the middle of the night with severe stomach pains and even worse diarhoea than usual. But it would be just a matter of going to the loo a couple of times, then I would be fine for the next day, apart from being tired.

For a while, the midnight trips seemed random, until the last year before diagnosis when it would happen every time I overate, as in about once a month.

My diarrhea happens within the hour. It is sudden and mine is not as painful as described by others. You know what is funny, a year ago I would never have discussed diarrhea with strangers and now my potty issues are an open book!

      First, welcome to the forum, @boy-wonder! Second, a little clarification in terminology is in order. Granted, inconsistency is rampant when it comes to the terminology associated with gluten disorders, but it has more or less become settled in this fashion: "Gluten intolerance" is a general term that car refer to either celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). "Gluten Sensitivity" is the shortened version of NCGS. Third, Celiac disease is not an allergy to gluten. It is an autoimmune disorder characterized by gluten ingestion causing the immunes system to attack the lining of the small bowel, causing damage to it over time due to the constant inflammation that wears...

      Has anyone found a gluten free parakeet seed mix? I can't find a single one! My doctor wants me to make sure all pet food in the house is gluten free but I'm not sure if that's even possible with parakeets. We love our birds so much! I'm wondering if anyone has ever made their own bird seed mix if gluten free ones are not available.

      Hi, new member. About me, I had been suffering with weight gain, bloating and irregular and extreme bowel habits for a year or so. For example, I went on holiday in 2023, then again I  2024 at the same time of year and every shirt I wore in 2023 didn't fit anymore, couldn't even do the buttons up. Being in my mid 50s I put it down to age and middle aged spread. I'd been lucky all my life having good metabolism and being able to eat anything and as much as I like without putting on any weight, it drove my other half mad. Over a conversation with a friend health and age Related stuff came up and he mentioned someone he knew who had recently found out they were gluten...

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet
