Ok....been gluten free for about 8 years.....can someone tell me why for the past 1-2 years- almost every time after i eat lunch (only lunch) do i have to go to the bathroom? sometimes it comes on like gangbusters, other times, it's ok....sometimes it's greasy (sorry for the visual), sometimes like water, sometimes like a soft pile, sometimes i go once, sometimes i go 2-3 after lunch. i usually go in the a.m. and after lunch, but what bothers me is the almost immediate need to go only after lunch. i don't have this "problem" after dinner....dr. never gave me much on this....have been doing some tests but nothing conclusive yet.....any thoughts? thanks!

oh yeah...sometimes it floats, sometimes it sinks, sometimes it's "normal" color, sometimes it's "yellow", sometimes i have gurgling in my stomach, sometimes i have "fluttering" in my stomach area, sometimes i have a "pain" in the lower left abdomen, maybe even ovary??, sometimes that pain is on the right side, but when i do get it, it is usually on the right side.....what else....i think that might be it for now....again, any thoughts??

What do you eat for lunch? Do you take any supplements (esp. magnesium) at breakfast or lunch? Do you have a similar reaction after breakfast?

i eat various things for lunch...sandwich w/gluten-free bread, leftovers from dinner the night before, baked potato with salsa, etc. i do not take any magnesium...have been taking a digestive enzyme, not sure if it helps or not. i do not usually have that similar reaction after breakfast...sometimes before breakfast though...usually my bowel issues are in the afternoon. rarely go after 4:00 p.m.

I have this problem every time I go grocery shopping :unsure: It must be just the sight of all that gluten that turns my tummy because it doesn't matter if it's morning or afternoon - I normally have to abandon my shopping cart and dive into the restroom :lol:

It does sound like you may be eating something that you are intolerant to. Intolerance reactions can be delayed reactions. What do you usually eat for breakfast? Have you eliminated soy and dairy, including milk replacements that may contain casien? It must be frustrating for you I hope you figure out the issue and it resolves soon.

that's what i am thinking....i usually eat corn bread with butter but lately have not used butter, banana bread or bagel with egg and a little cheese. i have not eliminated soy and eat very little dairy to begin with.....today was a good day - so far....it's just frustrating how one time "it" is decent" and the next in the same day, "it" can be yucky!!!

      Nateral remedies

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      Kan-101

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      So just to be cautious, there is a big difference between cured, and responding to their medication. I assume you mean that your daughter responded well while taking KAN-101 during the trial, but the drug would not cure celiac disease, but may manage it while you are taking it. Let me know if I got this right.

      Is Caputo gluten free flour really free of gluten?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Godfather! "Gluten-free" is not the same as zero gluten. The FDA standard for allowing the food industry to us the gluten-free label on a product is that it cannot exceed 20 ppm of gluten. That is safe for most celiacs but not for the subset of celiacs/gltuen sensitive people who are super sensitive. "Gluten-free" wheat starch products have been processed in such a way to remove enough of the protein gluten to comply with the FDA regulation but usually do retain some gluten and we usually get reports from some people on this forum who fall in the more sensitive range that such products cause them to react. Hope this helps. So, you may just have to experiment for yourself.
