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.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
