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.)

      Welcome to the forum, @Kara S! Warrior bread is a grain free bread product. Google it. There are commercial mixes available, I believe, Youtube videos and many recipes.

      Gluten related ??

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Colleen H, I have had similar reactions and symptoms like yours.  I started following the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet developed by a doctor with Celiac Disease herself, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, is very helpful in understanding what's going on in the body.   Not only do you have antibodies attacking the body, there are mast cells spreading histamine which causes inflammation.  Foods also contain histamine or act as histamine releasers.  Our bodies have difficulty clearing histamine if there's too much.  Following the low histamine AIP diet allows your body time to clear the excess histamine we're making as part of the autoimmune response, without adding in extra histamine from foods.  High histamine foods include eggs, processed foods and some citrus fruits.  The AIP diet allows meat and vegetables.  No processed meats like sausage, luncheon meats, ham, chicken nuggets, etc. No night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant).  No dairy.  No grains.  No rice.  No eggs.  No gluten-free processed foods like gluten free breads and cookies.  No nuts.  No expensive processed gluten-free foods.  Meat and vegetables.  Some fruit. Some fruit, like applesauce, contains high levels of fructose which can cause digestive upsets.  Fructose gets fermented by yeasts in the gastrointestinal tract.  This fermentation can cause gas, bloating and abdominal pain.   The AIP diet changes your microbiome.  Change what you eat and that changes which bacteria live in your gut.  By cutting out carbohydrates from grains and starchy veggies like potatoes, SIBO bacteria get starved out.  Fermenting yeasts get starved out, too.  Healthy bacteria repopulate the gut.   Thiamine Vitamin B 1 helps regulate gut bacteria.  Low thiamine can lead to SIBO and yeast infestation.  Mast cells release histamine more easily when they are low in Thiamine.  Anxiety, depression, and irritability are early symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  A form of thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Thiamine works with the seven other B vitamins.  They all need each other to function properly.   Other vitamins and minerals are needed, too.  Vitamin D helps calm and regulate the immune system. Thiamine is needed to turn Vitamin D into an active form.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes.  Taking a B Complex and additional Benfotiamine is beneficial.  The B vitamins are water soluble, easily lost if we're not absorbing nutrients properly as with Celiac Disease.  Since blood tests for B vitamins are notoriously inaccurate, taking a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and magnesium Threonate, and looking for health improvements is a better way to see if you're insufficient.   I do hope you will give the low histamine AIP diet a try.  It really works.

      Just wanted to add that checking B12 and Vitamin D only is not going to give an accurate picture of vitamin deficiencies.   B12 Cobalamine needs the seven other B vitamins to work properly.   You can have vitamin deficiency symptoms before the B12 blood level changes to show deficiency.  You can have "normal" B12, but have deficiencies in other B vitamins like Thiamine and Niacin, for which there are no accurate tests. Take a B Complex supplement with all the B vitamins.  Take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  Thiamine Mononitrate found in most vitamin supplements is not easy for the body to utilize.  What makes thiamine mononitrate not break down on the shelf also makes it hard for the body to absorb and utilize.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 deficiency symptoms include anxiety, depression and irritability.  The brain uses more Thiamine than other organs.  Take the B Complex and Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and look for health improvements in the following weeks.
