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.

      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.
