1 Week Of Diarrhea

I was dx with celiac 2.5 years ago and have been gluten-free since. My gastro symptoms have subsided nicely (with very occasional bouts of diarrhea) and weight has stabilized.

However, I have been dealing with sudden onset of diarrhea for about 7 days now. My husband (non celiac) had a very mild form of the same thing at the exact same time, but he's fine now and my problems continue. I'm hoping it's just an intestinal bug or something, but do we take longer to recover from such things?

Any experiences/opinions welcome!

Thanks, Dinah

Dinah,

I used to be that way. Probably for the first 5 years or so after I got diagnosed. I am more "normal" when it comes to bugs now.

Make sure you keep getting your vitamins in you, do not take immodium with stomach flu and keep hydrating (I like pedia lyte or gatorade).

I know it sounds bad, but with stomach bugs, you want to poop it out. Taking immodium and pepto when you have viral or baterial issues is not good for you.

I am and was the opposite. I rarely picked up viruses, if my tummy got upset, it was from something I ate. After 8 yrs, I still rarely ever get a flu bug. A sore throat for me is usually allergy related.

Yet when I do get glutened accidentally, I am sometimes sick for months.

Something similar seems to have happened to me.

I was fine two Sundays ago, ate supper, then 30 minutes later was doubled over for the rest of the night, with what I call volcanic explosions of the rear end... very bad D.!!!!

Since then, there's been abdominal turbulence and just the D tendency, although not as violent as that first night, pain, gas and rumbling, etc., although it seems to be gradually leveling off, but still there to some extent at this point, 11 days later.

I've been very confused trying to figure this out... haven't been out to eat, and have been eating very safe foods only... I don't know anyone else sick, though... but also, for me it's been 2 1/2 years gluten free and whatever this is suddenly hit me outta nowhere.

Seems to be leveling off, but it's confusing. Maybe it's a bug... and maybe it takes longer for the inflammation of a bug to get back to normal than with other folks who haven't been through this whole gluten ordeal.

I will answer YES! When I get a stomach bug now, it hurts much worse. I don't know why, but it does!!!

I have been having the same problem for about the past 6 days! I thought it was something I added to my diet, but I was totally unable to pinpoint it. It doesn't feel like a glutening because I have felt fine otherwise, no fatigue or bloating. Hopefully it is a bug and will go away soon!

My husband (non-celiac) had similar symptoms (really bad D, then pain and bloating with the D getting less bad but not stopping) a few months ago. He thought he'd been poisoned at a restaurant but it lasted for way too long. Finally one of the guys he worked with had him try a Prilosec and it seemed to help. Now he takes one every day to keep the symptoms away.

So glad to see this thread today, I've had explosive D with one "accident" for 3 days now, totally out of character for my system, I've not been glutened as far as I can tell, but am still pretty new to all this. My hubby (non-celiac) had D for 1 day, so maybe this is just a bug thing.

Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through.

      Celiac Disease and Longevity: Can Treatment and Healing Improve Long-Term Survival?

      Thanks for the prompt reply. Interesting that blood test could be caused by other things. I am sure Dr Fincher will get to the bottom of it. I know he ate nowhere near that amt of gluten before the endoscope. Always interested in any new info abt celiac. U can not trust what is said on fb- That would be a piece of bread a day. He didn't even make that...

      So I've been dealing with chasing the name celiac because of my body actively dealing with health issues related to celiac though not eating. Diagnosed in 1994 before foods eliminated from diet. After 25 years with former pcp I googled celiac specialist and she wasn't because of what ive been through. I wanted my results to be sent to my pcp but nothing was sent.I have email copies.I did one zoom call with np with team member from celiac specialist in Nov 2025 and she asked me why I wanted to know why I wanted the celiac diagnosis so bad, I sad I don't, its my life and I need revalidaion because its affecting me.KB stated well it shows you are.I asked then why am I going through all this.I was labeled unruly. Its been a celiac circus and medical has caused anxiety and depression no fault to my own other than being born with bad genetics. How is it legal for medical professionals to gaslight patients that are with an ailment coming for help to be downplayed? KB put in my records that she personally spent 120min with me and I think the zoom call was discussing celiac 80 min ONE ZOOM call.SHE is responsible for not explaining to my pcp about celiac disease am I right?

Its alarming these places are popping up in airports as well.I just saw on the news that the airport ( can't remember which  one)was going to have a fabulous smelling bakery. Not for sensitive celiacs, this can alter their health during their travel which isn't safe. More awareness really NEEDS to be promoted, so much more than just a food consumption!FYI I did write to Stanislaus to let them know my thoughts on the medical field not knowing much about celiac and how it affects one.I also did message my gi the 3 specialist names that was given on previous post on questions on celiac. I pray its not on deaf door.
