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.

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse. But it is important not to stop the treatment. Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency. I didn't know...

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.
