Another Poop Question


BRUMI1968

Recommended Posts

BRUMI1968 Collaborator

Okay...so when I was camping the other day (and shortly after eating a huge amount of bacon fat), I had to run to the lovely pit toilet and deposit some terrible poop, that I can only assume was fluffy, like the last time I had a bacon reaction -- based on the smell and the feel (you can't really look into a pit toilet to gauge the damage).

So today (3 days later?), my poop is like that again, only slightly less vigorously so. Fluffy looking. Amazingly smelly. Floating - to the point where it is hard to flush down. Not really formed, more like blobbed loosely together.

It's unlikely, though not impossible that I was glutened. I'd had rice chips mustard flavor on the way to the camp (the day previous to the poop), and tonight I had tortilla chips I'm not sure about...it almost seems more fat related or something, though today I did not eat much fat (well, some coconut oil maybe).

Any ideas?

p.s. was a C celiac sufferer, not D, so it's all new to me.

p.p.s. the water where I was camping was questionable, but I don't think I drank any of it until after the episode at the camp.

Are you sure the bacon didn't have gluten in it??????

Sometimes I get reactions like that to severe stress. I have not had any possible gluten contamination, but my stress load is extremely high right now, and my bowels are a mess to put it mildly. Every day, foul smelly, floating, or pure liquid diarrhea. Amazing how your body reacts sometimes. Check your foods again just in case.

Same bacon as always: beelers gluten free. The one possible gluten source was the day before: Lundberg Rice Chips, which are supposed to be gluten free, but I've heard on here otherwise.

Gluten would explain the extreme fatigue and weird brains...I just wonder what the difference is between pancreas related problems/D, and gluten ones. Could it be the fat/bacon? Or did I get glutened?

THe sad thing you could have been CC'd or something esle!!! It's hard to figure out sometimes...which is super frustrating!!!

I also get D when I'm stressed!!! Right now I'm super frustrated b/c I got CC'd 2x a resturant where I have had No problems and it's the only one in my town where I can/could eat safely!!! Jeez

I have the EXACT same problem right now, its been going on for 5 days.

Mine is also coupled with a lot of water/slime, as frequently as 6x a day.

I cannot seem to find the cause nor a solution.

The latest doctor just put me on a new antispasmatic med to help deal with the pain that is accompanying it all.

I am doing my darnedest to stay hydrated through it and hoping it is on its way out.

My fingers are crossed for you too!

The "fluffy" sounds like the "classic" celiac symptoms to me. They say you don't absorb the fat real well when you eat gluten therefore causing the floaty fluffy looking bad smelling poo. I have always been the "classic" sufferer and not a C sufferer.

Yeah. Based on the fact that I still feel terrible (sleepy, stupid, stomach, bowels), I'm thinking it must've been gluten. I'm going with the salmon burger dinner or the Lundberg Rice chips - both of which claimed to be gluten-free, but who knows for sure.

It's just extra irritating because eating seems to exacerbate my feeling icky, and I'm wasting away, and hungry. So what to eat for dinner? I'm thinking of going with something I'm just stone cold used to, like eggs and hash browns. I don't have any good "fall back" foods, even rice seems to bug me sometimes.

meimak - good luck to you.

I wonder why we have to pee so much when we have D -- doesn't that seem backward?

Bully4You - Thank you so much for posting this, I thought I was going crazy. I have been so careful and thought that this was something "new" or another problem... not that I ever want to be "wooo hooo, yes, gluten is kicking around my guts" but it is nice to know that its most likely the reasons for this current symptom.

I have been peeing much more frequently as well. And the noises from my abdomen have been loud and interesting.

I don't know how you or others feel about The Water Cure, but I have found it helpful to stay hydrated.

(The condensed verision: Take your body weight, divide by 2, drink that many ounces minimum, of warm, celtic salted water each day.)

My doc told me I was "urinating frequently" because my bowels were so swollen/enlarged that it was actually pushing against my bladder constantly, therefore no room for the urine. Made sense to me after I went gluten-free & now I can go 1/2 the day without peeing

Bully4you, were you sharing a grill that could have been contaminated? I can get sick if someone uses a plastic spatula that's been used on gluten foods and then washed & used on my food. (the BF won't do that again!)

the rare times I do get glutened, I find eating something completely gluten-free settles my stomach. ie.tapioca bread toasted (I even toast in the oven on a piece of foil.)

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
