Interesting Observation/question

About 6 years ago I lost about 100 lbs. It seems that I would often have fatty stools during this 9 month process. I didn't cut out gluten per se, but did eat very few carb foods, sticking mainly to proteins and veggies. At the time, I thought that the fatty/mucousy stools were a result of the fat being eliminated from my body. Maybe this was naiive!

So now I'm losing weight again (after gaining back 60 lbs of the 100!) and wonder how to differentiate between the fat being eliminated from my body and the fat that's not being absorbed. I will ask my gastro next month, but wondered if any of you had any experience/knowledge in this area.

Thanks!

I would guess the fat in the stool is fat that's not being absorbed. I don't know how fat would move to your intestines directly ... I think your body has to burn it for fuel to get rid of it.

Many celiacs are overweight and lose a lot of weight once they go gluten-free.

I'm curious how you know if you have fatty stools? Best regards, lm

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks @Beverage for checking in!  I haven't changed the dogs' food yet.  I'm still working through some of the other issues that I need to remedy (transitioning to an anti-inflammatory diet, being sure to get only gluten-free certified items, and buying some new cookware for my kitchen).  Somewhere after that, I have on my list to try out the dogs on a new dog food, but I haven't gotten there yet.  In the meantime, though, I can definitely see that some of my worst days seem to follow when there's a possibility of gluten cross-contamination (I'm still working to cut waaay down on these instances) OR when I eat anything with dairy/ milk protein in it.  So I think I need to really get a better handle on my day-to-day eating habits to reduce all gluten cross-contamination into my food and also any dairy intake, and then at that point, I think I'll start moving over to the dog food thing.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I don't think you have the URL/site address correct, as there is nothing at that site.

      Hello All I am traveling to Germany in October and will be in Berlin, Rothenburg ODT , Salzburg, Fussen and Munich.  I am also driving the northern part of the romantic road with stops in some of the smaller towns along the way.  I would really appreciate any recommendations for gluten-free friendly places, restaurants and any gluten-free beer gardens.  Thanks in advance, Laura
