Another Poop Question

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.)

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug?

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
