Poop

Since going gluten free, my poop actually got softer. Before gluten-free it was either diarrhea or constipation. Now it is always soft. I also went dairy free over a week ago. Since then I am pooping after every meal and in the morning. It is not diarrhea, but it is very soft poo. I thought frequent pooping was a sign of celiac. I should be pooping LESS not MORE- right? Is this normal, or should I look for another culprit, like soy?

Well, it depends on what you are eating and how much. What you describe doesn't sound like anything to be worried about. If you were having tummy aches and having to rush to the bathroom, then that is different.

That is all very normal, especially with the soy. I should know, I am on soy to and have the same prob. Nothing to worry about. To help are you taking vitamins to help balance you out? I take a multivitamin, B12, calcium and magnisium. Not all in one day because that is too much for my body to digest and break down. But rotate them all one a day and it will help with your situation.

that is what it is supposed to be like. you just didn't know because your body was never able to "do it right" before going gluten free!

I have a problem with mine too - I was wondering if anyone had the same thing when they first started?

I have just started being gluten and dairy free. For the first week I kind of alternated (not having gluten and dairy on the same day) and then the second week I didn't have either. I like how I feel and I look "clearer" already in the face, and I haven't had any junk food - but my poop is kind of weird (sorry for TMI). It's a yellowy colour. Not like bright yellow but I'm used to brown ... I'm a bit confused cos I thought eating a healthy diet would make me healthy! Is it just a "getting used to it" type of thing? It's an ok shape and everything ... but I'm still a bit worried ...?

I am eating vegetables, fruit, nuts (more nuts than I used to), meat, rice, gluten free muesli ... I've had two dairy free sorbets in the 2 weeks but that's all, I have pretty much eaten "normal" food ... apart from no more gluten or dairy.

Can anyone put my mind at rest? it would be much appreciated!

Your body needs some time to reestablish itself. Keep eating healthy, maybe consider some probiotics if you aren't eating yogurt to help your gut recover. And trust your body, it will try to tell you what it needs.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
