Celiac is a very common underlying cause of IBS-D. Mine went away when I went off gluten (along with a ton of other problems).

Gluten intolerant here but never confirmed Celiac as not willing to go back to eating gluten. The D was what finally tipped off gluten intolerance after 11 years of fatigue, over four years of being so sick both physically and mentally that I wanted to die. It was less than I year that I had the horrible D but luckily I did or I would either be even sicker than I was or I would have ended my life.

For me the D went away after giving up gluten. Also, my extreme anxiety went away in just a few days.

I used to think that I still had IBS riding along with the celiac but then found out that I also have a problem with fructose. I can only eat so much fructose in one sitting or I greatly pay for it with the big D. Fruit, applesauce, and anything with High fructose corn syrup and corn syrup solids will get me if I have too much. everyone is different on what they can handle. If you google Sue Shepard fructose malabsorption you will get many hits to learn about it.

how did you find out you were sensative to too much fructose? i have celiac but now have loose stools/D (sometimes) and it has been going on like this for about a year or so.....maybe it is something else other than IBS-D??

For me, keeping a food diary along with writing down symptoms for the day, really helped me figure what else was going on. I was able to see that the mornings I was eating a gluten free waffle with peanut butter and blueberry preserves was giving me a D day. Also at Thanksgiving I had a severe reaction. Everything was gluten free but I had sweet potato casserole, small piece of pumpkin pie and a small piece of pecan pie plus a gluten free chocolate chip cookie. Around 3 in the morning I had severe D, hot and cold flashes, my ears were ringing and was dizzy. I have medical people in the family and they suggested that I had a high fructose intake (especially since I put corn syrup in the pecan and sweet potato casserole). So I did a ton of research and now watch my fructose and know what I can have and not have based on my food journal. Hope you find your answer I know how tough it can be trying to be your own detective.

yes, it is...i am keeping a food diary but i cannot figure out what, if anything is affecting me...my dr. says not to bother, not sure why, but it makes me feel better doing it for some reason. i also would have no idea how long it would take for something to affect me once i ate it?? 1 day, 2 days, etc.??? that's what is bothersome!

I've just started the low FODMAP diet which eliminates or limits foods that ferment in the stomach due to an excess in bacteria and the gut's inability to absorb certain foods. It's being pioneered in Australia and Monash University is studying various foods. My Gastroenterologist recommended it and it's proven to help so far. You can have certain amounts of starchs, veggies, fruits and dairy at one time - this way the gut has time to process everything and doesn't leave a lot for the bacteria to snack on. The diet eliminates certain types of fruits which have higher fructose than glucose such as watermelon and juice if you have fructose intolerance. I think I'm intolerant to some fruits and am starting from square one. I'm not eating any fruits at the moment but am looking forward to reintroducing them. I can forward you a document from Sue Shepherd (Shepherd Works) that provides up to date info. I'm working with a dietician at Diet Solutions (they also work with Monash) and they conference via Skype. Let me know if you're interested and I can email it!

It can take up to 72 hours for a food reaction to show. I know that is hard which is why with elimination diets you only eat say rice and chicken for 72 hours then add one more thing and wait 72 hours. With my journal I always wrote say a "N" for a normal day "D" for diarrhea day "L" loose and so on so I would look back over 3 days and try to figure it out. Not saying its easy but I did start to figure out a pattern with the heavier fructose days also whenever I ate salads. My body doesn't handle raw vegetables very well so I eat salads very sparingly and chew them very well.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I respectfully disagree, @Scott Adams. Thiamine deficiency (and deficiencies in other B vitamins) can cause unintentional weight loss. The body will use stored fat and muscle to provide energy in thiamine deficiency. This results in muscle wasting, fat loss, fatigue, and difficulty putting on muscle mass. Using stored fat and muscle for energy requires...

      Digestive symptoms yet negative celiac screening

      You may know this already, but in addition to what you've described, you may also want to get a genetic test. About 1/3 of people have one of the genetic markers that are necessary (but not sufficient) for getting celiac. If your son is one of the 2/3 of people that don't have the marker then it is almost certain he does not have celiac. (The genetic test...

      Fiber-Metabolizing Bacteria Could Boost Gut Health in Celiac Disease

      That is really interesting, especially because it points to how the gut microbiome may still stay altered in celiac disease even after going gluten-free. The idea that a fiber like inulin could help feed beneficial bacteria and reduce inflammation is encouraging, although I imagine some people with celiac disease or other gut issues might still need to introduce...

      Digestive symptoms yet negative celiac screening

      @Irishgirl5, it does sound possible for those numbers to fluctuate a bit, especially when they are near the upper end of normal, but ongoing symptoms still make it understandable that you are concerned. The fact that his tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin A is still technically in range does not always make the picture feel any clearer, especially with...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I respectfully disagree, @Scott Adams.   Thiamine deficiency (and deficiencies in other B vitamins) can cause unintentional weight loss.  The body will use stored fat and muscle to provide energy in thiamine deficiency.  This results in muscle wasting, fat loss, fatigue, and difficulty putting on muscle mass.  Using stored fat and muscle for energy requires less thiamine than the amount of thiamine required to process carbohydrates.  Thiamine deficiency causes gastrointestinal Beriberi, a localized thiamine deficiency in the digestive tract, which results in dysbiosis, inflammation, and abdominal pain.  Carbohydrates can remain undigested in the intestinal system, which bacteria feed on, encouraging SIBO, and prompting dysbiosis, leaky gut, and inflammation.  Following a low carbohydrate Keto diet, like the AutoImmune Protocol diet, can help because it removes excess carbohydrates that the bacteria feed on.  SIBO can cause weight gain due to inflammational edema of the intestines (water retention in the tissues of the intestines), gas, and slowed transit times.  SIBO bacteria can absorb nutrients from your food before you can, resulting in additional deficiencies of other B vitamins and nutrients.   Thiamine deficiency is corrected with high dose Thiamine Hydrochloride, Benfotiamine and/or Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide).  High dose thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  It improves "leaky gut".  High dose Benfotiamine will improve the gut microbiome in favor of beneficial bacteria.  Thiamine TTFD is beneficial for neurological issues.  Thiamine TTFD improves brain function and is beneficial for mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, and other neurological problems like Ataxia and Brain Fog.    Methylated (activated) B Complex vitamins help correct Thiamine deficiency because all eight B vitamins work together.  Vitamin C and the four fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) are needed as well.  Minerals like Magnesium, Calcium, Iron,  Potassium, and others may need to be supplemented as well.  Thiamine and Magnesium make life sustaining enzymes together.   Supplementing with high doses of Thiamine and other water soluble B vitamins will lower pain and inflammation, improve fatigue, improve muscle mass gain, as well as regulate the intestinal microbiome!  So, @Stegosaurus, you can get healthier while improving gut dysbiosis at the same time!

The idea that a fiber like inulin could help feed beneficial bacteria and reduce inflammation is encouraging, although I imagine some people with celiac disease or other gut issues might still need to introduce it carefully depending on tolerance. It definitely feels like an area worth watching, because anything that could help support healing beyond just avoiding gluten would be valuable.

      @Irishgirl5, it does sound possible for those numbers to fluctuate a bit, especially when they are near the upper end of normal, but ongoing symptoms still make it understandable that you are concerned. The fact that his tissue transglutaminase immunoglobulin A is still technically in range does not always make the picture feel any clearer, especially with tummy pain, nausea, constipation, and diarrhea still going on. Anxiety can certainly add to gastrointestinal symptoms, but I can see why you would not want to assume that explains everything. It sounds like keeping an eye on things and being cautious with diet changes makes sense, especially if symptoms continue. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
