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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Try adding some Thiamine Hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) and see if there's any difference. Thiamine HCl uses special thiamine transporters to get inside cells. I take it myself. Tryptophan will help heal the intestines. Tryptophan is that amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner. I take mine with magnesium before bedtime...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I live in the upper mid-west and was just diagnosed with marsh 3c celiac less than a month ago. As a 51 year old male, I now take a couple of different gluten free vitamins. I have not noticed any reaction to either of these items. Both were purchased from Amazon. 1. Nature Made Multivitamin For Him with No Iron 2. Gade Nutrition Organic Quercetin...

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium. A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake. With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.

I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.
