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!

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
