A question for all you folks...

Have been gluten free now for 3 days...

I feel less abdominal pain and generally feel better

My major symptom was constipation, gas and a feeling of fullness

AND (I feel weird talking about bowel movements...ewwww :ph34r: )

For the last 3 days I have been having Bowel Movements like crazy...

My constipation is NO more...

Have any of you who have gone gluten-free experienced this?

Welcome!

I don't recall if I had this same experience but, I do know that I eat more fruits, veggies and whole grains (brown rice & quinoa) than I did before. If you are making these same healthy food adjustments, you would notice an increase in bowel movements fairly quickly. Especially, if one of your symptoms was constipation.

Thanks for your reply...I do not think that it is due to an increase in whole grains or fruits...it seems more due to the lack of gluten or something...On Day 4 of Gluten Free I think I have pooped more than I have in my life! Constipation see ya later!

I saw on previous posts that those who had suffered from constipation prior to going Gluten Free improved significantly when the gluten was removed from the diet....Is there anyone out there who suffered from constipation prior to going gluten free who improved rapidly after going gluten-free who would like to comment?

for almost 10 years. Within 2-3 days of gluten-free, C was gone. I still go 2-3 times a day. I think it's the eimination of processed foods and probiotics. I have noticed that if I forget to take my probiotics, I don't go as much. Finally got rid of those terrible H :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Amazing what a diet change can do!

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I have been diagnosed with Refractory Celiac disease Type 2. Which is quite a shock because my Gastroenterologist has been performing gastroscopy & colonoscopy's - 4 in 2025 & a gastroscopy on the 20/3/26 and they didnot tell me how bad my Celiacs disease is and has been. It was my haematologist that checked more of my symptoms and came up with the...

      Diagnosed Marsh stage 3C in January 2026

      Pardon me, I stand corrected. I did find yet another blood test for thyroid function. TSH W/REFLEX TO FT4: 2.91 mIU/L (Range: 0.40 - 4.50) As you can see, I was within the acceptable range when the test was performed.

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

      I am curious: What was your initial level at? How many daily IUs were you taking via supplements and for how long? What did your level drop to? How many daily IUs are you taking now via supplements? Regards, Known1

It was my haematologist that checked more of my symptoms and came up with the result. So I am trying hard to get some nutrition into my body. All of this info on supplements and nutritional diets is very helpful.  Regards Margaret.
