Leaky Shwanz

Yes, that "shwanz" :)

Have any other guys had this problem. I have been gluten free for just over a month and it seems that I let out a few drops of pee every now and then, mostly when I exert myself. It's not much but I do notice it. I have never had this problem before so it's kind of a nuisance <_< Anyone know what might be causing it?

Edit: Schwanz is a german term for a part of the male anatomy ^_^

So I agree with everyone else that this is not a gluten or gluten free problem. You may have a urinary tract infection. Sometimes those come without symptoms.

I don't know if your back ever bothers you, but I had a very slight bulging disk in my back that damaged the nerve to my bladder. I would "leak" a bit. What helps for me is to lean forward to insure my bladder is emptied at the end. Although I am a girl and it works a tad bit different. Something to look into maybe if your back hurts, or even if it doesn't.

Dear DM,

My supplement is a probiotic, but it has prebiotics as well. They are beneficial in different ways, and help probiotics do their job better. I take AccuFlora. You can get it at Sam's Wholesale Club. It has no dairy, yeast, gluten, or soy. Still, due to the extreme overgrowth of yeast I have from years of steroids, antibiotics, and birth control, I may need something stronger.

Did you check to make sure the probiotics you were taking had no dairy whatsoever? That could be the trouble. If you are sensitive to casein, the Acidophillus may be derived from yogurt, and making you feel worse. I never thought taking them at night would be best, but I could experiment with that. Thank you for the tip!

You sure said it when you mentioned how people should know how important these good bugs are! L. Salivarius saved my cousin's life. He had the Rota Virus as a teenager, and nearly died. My grandmother read something about probiotics, and we contacted local places to find it. They had to ship it from upstate, but after my cousin got it, he began recovering. I wish I could say the same for his muscles. Due to being so ill from the Rota Virus, he developed Guillon-Barre, a dangerous paralyzing muscle disorder.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By RMJ · Posted

      Do you have any other results from either of the two labs where you’ve been tested recently?  If so, are the newest results from that lab elevated over previous results? It took me 5 years to get all of my antibodies into the normal range. Then 3 years later one went up into the positive range.  I realized that I had started baking with a different brand of gluten free flour.  When I stopped using that flour the level went back to normal.  Has something changed in your diet, environment, activities, medications or other areas where you could possibly be exposed to gluten?

      Thank you for the clarifcation, how can I get to the bottom of this as to why they may be elevated even on a super strict gluten-free diet?

      Symptom treatment of gluten exposure with Anti-inflammatories

      By Bronwyn W · Posted

      Hi, Please can I ask for opinions on using Anti-inflammatories for symptom treatment of inadvertent gluten exposure? Should it be part of a foundational treatment plan, upon inadvertent exposure? Kind Regards,  Bronwyn

      In testing for celiac disease total IgA is run just to be sure you’re not deficient (in which case the TTG IgA results would not be reliable). Different labs may have slightly different normal ranges, but the units are usually the same and the results can be compared.  In your case, what is meaningful for celiac disease is that you were not deficient in total IgA for either test. Different labs use different units for the TTG IgA test and there are no conversion factors to turn one into the other. In your case, the labs have another difference - one uses a weak positive category and one doesn’t.  The two results really can’t be compared. In each case you’re slightly into the full positive range for that test/lab so in reality your antibodies might not have jumped up at all between these two tests.
