Fatty stools pretty much float. Stools that float are not good, the sinkers are a good sign. :blink:

I'll check on the M of M and get back if someone doesn't beat me to it.

Not positive, but I believe it is gluten free. Best to call the manufacturer to confirm. However, I know that Milk of Magnesia can affect the stool both in consistency and colour (can make it pale.)

my stools float all the time but only really started after taking milk of magnesia. They don't smell like stool either. THey smell rancid or something. I haven't been eating gluten for about 4 months either. I don't know why this is. I have chronic yeast though. THe slightess amount of sugar gives me discharge. Could It be leaky gut? I'm so fustrated and worried about all this. And I don't feel better being off gluten. I can't even smell chemicals or artificial sweeteners without discharge. ugh

For women, having discharge doesn't necessarily mean yeast. Some discharge during the month is normal, even discharge everyday can be normal...and the type of discharge changes throughout the month. Depends on your body and your cycle. Do no assume it is yeast or treat for it unless it's been confirmed by your doctor. Abnormal discharge can be due to bacterial infection or yeast overgrowth.

[my gyno says That I do have yeast. But why does the discharge only come out when I smell or eat something sweet. and in like seconds. I am 34 years old and since being sick I have not had a period in 3 months. I don't know. I suffer from iterstitial cystitis, in other words, bladder ulcers. Not a very health individual.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
