"detox" Question

I am still pretty new to a gluten-free diet. The first week I was fine... actually I had more energy than ever. The second week I had mucus in my stool and my stool was greenish in color. I am ending week 3 and entering week 4 and I am running to the bathroom constantly. Before I was gluten free I was forever constipated. Going to the bathroom 8-12 times a day is exhausting. Does anyone have experience with these types of symptoms? How long does it take for the body to adjust to gluten free? Any help, advice or suggestions would be really appreciated.

Have you tried going dairy and soy free? I read somewhere that some people don't even realize that gluten is slowing down their motility because dairy and soy speed it up. I remembered that because dairy and soy give me D and gluten gives me C.

Hope you feel better soon

It took me almost a year to truly get used to this diet, though it was a lot better after 6 months. Keep it up, and keep researching to make sure that you eliminate all gluten sources. Soy is a good thing to eliminate as stated. Dairy can be reintroduced after healing occurs, you may be able to handle it again then.

I had D from Dairy but it was the chemicals in some ice creams like Strohs, pure brands like Bryers and Homemade did not give me D. My sister though had to cut out all Dairy, she was house bound until she did. Many Celiacs are very sensitive to Dairy.

I am again trying to go gluten free and have been constipated for sooo many years.

Just curious how long you were that way? I can't believe I am having such a hard time doing the diet.

I hate feeling this way. I've not been diagnosed but highly suspect it is the gluten.

Hope you feel better soon.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
