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!

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
