It Was Solid... And It Sank!

I've been gluten free for almost 6 weeks now, and last night I had my first bowel movement that was solid AND sank! They have been mostly solid for a couple of weeks, but all have been floaters until now.

I am assuming that this means that I am probably absorbing most (if not all) of the nutrients and stuff I'm eating... right? YEAH!!!

Yes, sigh, it is the little things.

But I am still waiting nearly two years down the line for mine to be sinkers!

Didn't mean to put in a grumpy face, I tried to get rid of it and thought I had.

Congrats :)

I swear it took me over a year, and even then it was close to two before it happened regularly.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Talk to your doctor about switching to an antihistamine, and supplementing essential vitamins and minerals. Dietary changes (low carb/paleo) may be beneficial for you. Have you talked to a dietician or nutritionist about a nutrient dense gluten free diet? It's harder to get all the vitamins needed from a gluten free diet. Gluten containing products are...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      I’m pretty sure they do. I have been on myfortic, tacrolimus since 2021 for my liver transplant and added prednisone after kidney transplant. I’m going to try to cut back omeprazole to 20 mg a day and then after a week try to stop altogether. Thank you for your help.

      A gastroenterologist doing an endoscopy. Biopsies would be taken to be examined microscopically. Do your anti-rejection medications cause digestive problems?

      Top Celiac Disease Travel Destinations and How to Eat Gluten-Free Abroad

      I had a wonderful experience in Istanbul last Spring. Before I left home, I purchased cards written in Turkish explaining that I had celiac and explaining what I could not eat. The restaurant owners were so accommodating and caring. I stayed well the entire time we were in Istanbul.

      Talk to your doctor about switching to an antihistamine, and supplementing essential vitamins and minerals.  Dietary changes (low carb/paleo) may be beneficial for you.  Have you talked to a dietician or nutritionist about a nutrient dense gluten free diet?   It's harder to get all the vitamins needed from a gluten free diet.  Gluten containing products are required to be enriched or fortified with vitamins and minerals lost in processing.  Gluten free facsimile processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified.  So we have to buy our own vitamin supplements.   Glad to be of help.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38,  Are you taking a B Complex vitamin?  Vitamin D?  Thiamine in the form TTFD or Benfotiamine? I think increasing my B Complex vitamins and taking additional Thiamine and Vitamin C and zinc helps along with the Lysine.
