Bathroom Problems Every Morning

I have been gluten-free since January. On occasion I have made "errors" and have paid for a week at a time ALL day in the bathroom. Now that I am sticking to gluten-free diligently....I have to go to the bathroom as soon as I swallow my first bite of food in the morning. Is this celiac related? I am not eating the same food, so it isnt that there is hidden gluten. I will eat a pear, ham, drink a protein shake. It is random.

I am a heavy celiac and since going gluten free have not lost any weight and hardly eat. Any advise would be WELCOME!!!!

Are you still eating dairy? Is your protein shake made with Milk? A lot of celiacs have issues with lactose or casein.

Yes I have been eating dairy. I pulled it for about a week and noticed no relief. What is wierd to me is that as soon as I eat I have to go. it almost can't be a response to the food I am eating. Does that make sense??

but you don't have any issues the rest of the day? maybe that first meal gets things moving in the morning esp. if you drink coffee or a glass of water. are you saying your still have D or just can't figure out why you have a BM in the morning? if you still have D i'd look into other intolerances you may have including soy, dairy, corn etc. Right now I know I'll have issues in the a.m. if i eat green peppers, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, too much rice or eggplant. that or i would suggest eliminating what you currently eat for breakfast and see if that helps you at all.

Hi there,

I am like that in the morning, too, except I don't eat anything and my bowels wake me up! The cleaner I am with my diet the better. I eliminated dairy before gluten and that has really helped. I find it takes me 3-5 days to get somewhat normal after eating an offending food. I would really suggest trying the dairy free route for awhile to see if that could help. Best wishes!

Are your BMs more or less normal (I wouldn't except all normal all the time just yet)? I mean in consistency and so?

It's quite normal to have to go in the morning, it's just part of our bodies daily rhythm. And when you eat, there's a bit more pressure inside (because you just added stuff) and that gives your bowels a signal to start working. For the same reason some people have to go later in the day as well after a meal. I guess it could be that this could be a bit more urgent for a celiac person. It doesn't have to have anything to do with what you eat right at that moment, just the fact that you eat can trigger it, it's just a functional thing as far as I know.

Thank you all. The problem was not going to the bathroom...it is/was the urgency, cramping and diarrhea. But....I actually think I realized the problem. I believe it is from a medication that I started taking about 1 month ago at bedtime. I didnt take it last night and I even ATE breakfast for a change and no problem!!!

One thing is to stop eating at least two hours before you go to bed, so that your body can work on the food and digest it before you go to sleep. This helps quite a bit. I try to stop eating three hours before going to sleep, but of course this can be tricky for those of us who keep normal work hours. Best of luck. "Hang in there" as everyone keeps telling me. Frustrating, huh?

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets...

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
