Strange Looking Poop

Did any of you experience formed poops surrounded by liquid in the same diaper? This has happened a few times in the last two weeks. Laura

Yes, it can happen to adults too. This is what happens to me when I get cc'd.

This is what my kid seems to be doing lately. <_< What causes this?

ds has the same thing in his diaper a few times a week. Before bed he used the potty ( :D:D:D )and it was green with white swirls. I almost looked like a candy cane! (sorry kinda gross!) I would be interested to hear if anyone has ideas.

I can count the number of solid poops my son has had on one hand, but every solid has been accompanied by liquid. However, most of the time he has varying degrees of non-solid poops, from diarrhea to more pasty looking, and sometimes it looks like oatmeal. He eats gluten-free but his brother and sister don't so I think there may be some cross contamination. Any thoughts?

when my DDs went gluten-free their stools got WAY worse. until taking out rice and potatoes. they just cant digest either of those starches without major gastro symptoms. maybe because of the gut damage from G?? either way. if your DS is still experiencing symptoms even after being gluten-free for awhile i would keep playing w the diet and see if that helps. it is frustratingly hard to live gluten-free when you cant have rice, potatoes, or corn...but i keep hoping that in time their guts will heal enough. hth...take care :)

thanks to all who have replied. I got very excited that Julia had a normal-looking BM yesterday! Today she had a blowout! I was wondering about the rice and corn since she tested borderline to these two on the skin test. If the diarrhea isn't resolving over the next two weeks rice and corn will be the next to go. It is so hard to feed a two year old with all of these restrictions especially since she can't have her favorite dairy. It is good to know I'm not the only one analyzing poopy. Laura

      Should not be a problem except for the most sensitive celiacs. The amount of gluten that would get in the air from cooking alone has got to be miniscule. I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods. Thinks like shared cooking surfaces and countertops. And what about that toaster you mentioned?

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.

      @Rebeccaj,  When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air.  Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract.   If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies.

      ok thanks for your advice. But my question was what happens when someone you know in a house is cooking pasta or toast that's flour  Airbourne without eating.?

      Do discuss this recent article with your doctors.  Thiamine Vitamin B 1 is important to intestinal health.  Thiamine deficiency can occur in Celiac Disease due to malabsorption.  Supplementing with a B Complex, Benfotiamine, and Vitamin D can help symptoms.   Thiamine deficiency aggravates experimental colitis in mice by promoting glycolytic reprogramming in macrophages https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39890689/#:~:text=Our mechanistic study revealed that,necessary to protect against colitis. "Conclusion and implications: Our study provides evidence linking thiamine deficiency with proinflammatory macrophage activation and colitis aggravation, suggesting that monitoring thiamine status and adjusting thiamine intake is necessary to protect against colitis."
