You have not described the discharge, but I get a slight discharge when I eat sugar. It is like clockwork -- too much fruit/sugar/agave/maple syrup/dates/etc., discharge. None of those things, no real discharge. It is not like a yeast infection per se in its description more just whitish/clearish and thin. But it definitely responds to sugar.

Just one idea.

I don't know if this will be helpful or not but.... Do you use panty liners? If you do see if you can find one that is unscented. That may help especially if you are experiencing itchiness.

I've used Balneol for problems in this area (a non soap cleanser) found at drug stores BEHIND the Counter as it's expensive.

Since we're on personal topic: are you at or near menopause or pre-mature menopause? Sometimes funky urinogenital stuff goes on during this peri-menopause time......

Oh my gosh! I am so glad to read that this does occur, tho I am sorry for your discomfort. I am new to the gluten-free world. My 6 year old daughter and I were both recently diagnosed with Celiacs. She has the discharge, only it is darker in color. I gotta say tho, when I give her Colloidal Silver with her morning water and pure organic lemon juice in her night water the discharge gets lighter and disappears. Mine too. I think it is because we have been eating more dairy and sugar than we used to. We are cutting back on that now but continuing the Colloidal Silver and lemon juice. A Naturopath suggested that the alkalinity in our bodies needs to come up, hence the lemon juice. The Colloidal Silver because it kicks Candidas hiney!

Just an idea...

I've had a discharge forever, it seems. It got lighter when I sewed my own pantyliners out of flannel, as apparently even the non-scented pantyliners seem to cause a heavier discharge (making you buy more, I think it is intentional).

But since I've been on a parasite cleanse (I'm on day 12), the discharge has completely stopped! I especially noticed the absence of the smell that would accompany the discharge.

I'm so glad someone brought started this thread! I have been having issues with this for along time, but I've always been too embarrassed to say something to my Dr. :ph34r::rolleyes:

Confusedks, don't be embarrassed! We're all in this together. Ursa Major, which parasite cleanse are you using? I tried one for children with my daughter, but her poor intestines are too sensative right now and it caused her too much pain. I would love to do a parasite cleanse that is gentle tho. I'm wondering if maybe a homeopathic cleanse would work. Anyone have any ideas? We've cut out dairy and way down on the sugar, but I would love to clean out those nasty bugs and get a whole new start. It's hard enough for her to not be able to eat what "everyone else does" (breaks my heart) and I have never been more menu creative in my life!!

Me, too, with the discharge. It only started after my last pap exam (which was extremely painful for some reason - but it came back normal). I feel I'm perimenopausal, and it has something to do with it. Mine is dark, and it really stains my underwear - I use bleach along w/tide unscented/soak it; but it doesn't come out.

Plus, I've noticed I seem to be susceptible to pain associated with uti's, at times, in conjunction with the discharge.

I am using the Humaworm cleanse, and they do have a children's formula.

I am not going nuts. For years I have had a discharge thought that it could be invisible blood, that was causing staining. Now I reading many others have the same problem. I am just starting Celiac testing. I believe I have the Celiac disease, which has caused liver problems. I have many stomach problems. IBS. acid reflux, and the list goes on.

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
