I've started to take notice of what comes out from what I am putting in lately and I'm noticing my "output" has turned tan and when I look closer at the top of the water I am seeing what I first thought was bubbles but then I realized they are tiny dropplets of oil. Is this what it's suppose to look like with a gluten intolerance?

Thanks once again for helping me to connect the dots of mystery!

Oh and one more thing to add and it's something I have wondered about in the past couple of years but a few times a year (this is why it's so weird) I get a very sharp and very severe pain starting in my stomach and over several hours I can feel every inch of my intestines with nothing to show for it later. No diarrhea or gas and then my poor insides feel bruised for days afterwards. Any idea of what happened? This was during a time where I was gluten-free so now I wonder, since I had been off of gluten so long, if I had been glutened accidentally and I was very sensitive at that time? Does this sound right or maybe just a weird mystery? I wish I knew then what I know now, it may be easier to figure out what happened. I recall that one time I had picked up a protein bar (void of dairy and obvious gluten to me at that time as that is what I was avoiding) and a bottle of water, went and worked out and before I got home I started getting stomach pains in which I spent hours on the couch until the middle of the night curled up in the fetal position in horrible pain. I almost had my husband take me to the ER it was so bad and I have given birth naturally 3 times so it was BAD! It stopped when it got to the end of my intestines and nothing came out like I expected (gas, diarrhea). I'm wondering if I was glutened? Thoughts anybody?

Are you doing a gluten challenge? The oily looking stuff could be undigested fat or it could also be mucous. If your consuming something your body doesn't want it will sometimes produce excess mucous to try and protect itself.

It's definitely not mucous. It literally looks like if you put water into a frying pan you used with some oil on it and let it sit, little oil dropplets form on the top.

I wasn't doing a gluten challenge for me, I was trialing wheat for my nursling to figure out what is bugging her. So far it's dairy, soy, eggs and wheat or maybe gluten? Her diarrhea is so bad with wheat it's pure liquid. :(

Well celiac is hereditary, so looks like you're on the right track ;) If you've been eating lots of gluten up to now, you should consider getting tested first before you go gluten free, would be good to know for your baby whether it's definate or not. Of course, even if the testing all comes back negative, you both might do better without gluten; but for a kid it's pretty harsh to be off gluten if you're not 100% sure (when it's older of course :) )?

I was off for 3 months before trialing and won't be going back on until my baby is weaned.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
