i haven't been able to go to the bathroom now for over a week. my doc took me off the senna laxative i was taking, told me i didnt have allergies, persay but more of an intolerance to wheat due to an irritable bowel.

with that being said, if wheat flour is the last item on the list (like the fiber one bars) could i eat them to help me?

I would still completely avoid any wheat. Have you tried adding ground flax seed to your diet, I have some everyday in my rice cereal and it makes all the difference. Cranberry juice and other fruits help as well.

Are you eating plenty of "stone fruits?" These are pears, peaches, plums, mangoes, and apricots--all the fruits that have large stones (pits) instead of tiny seeds. They are easy to digest, and have a ton of fiber and help to move things along. I think avocados qualify, too, but am not as sure about them.

And, yes, if you have an intolerance to wheat, you must avoid wheat, or risk your immune system being triggered to attack YOU (joints, thyroid, pancreas, neuro, skin, etc.). Not worth it, in my book. But wheat is not the only source of fiber, nor the best.

It might help to know what you ARE eating. It's possible that you are unknowingly eating lots of foods that cause constipation, and few of those that help.

Have you tried a probiotic?

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      Seeking advice on potential gluten challenge

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      By Greymo · Posted

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      EMA Result

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
