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.

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

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
