Change Bowel Movement Time?

My job recently moved an hour away. Before the move, I would get up at 7:30 am and be at work before 8. I'd then have a BM at about 8:10. But I was already at work so it was ok.

Now, I get up at 6:00am to leave at 6:30. On the way I have to stop and have a BM, usually D. I can't keep doing this. I've only been gluten free for 2 weeks, as I just got diagnosed. Will this change once my system is clear of gluten? Or to I have to do some sort of BM training?

I wish I could help... I'm backup up myself... Wish I had a schedule... I've been doing everything from magnesium, Citrucil, Stool Softners, Sea Salt, even my sons prescription relief... Going to try milk of magnesia today, last resort, ick. Nothing works so far...

I do think things will regulate with time. I've been gluten-free around 6 weeks now & my body is still adjusting. I went through terrible insomnia for 2 weeks, getting 3 & 4 hours sleep per night. It was awful. But, much better now.

Sorry if I was abit to detailed... It's good to be able to talk about this stuff...

What sucks is that everybody is different. My symptoms started in December, and I had the big D for 4 months! My GI dr. said it would go away---but it took forever. Then I went to my primary Dr. who prescribed me Lomitil and Bental to help with the constant D. They helped. I'm finally mostly normal now on month 8 of being gluten-free--however, even after seeing a dietitian, I found I was still being contaminated from time to time. I know almost immediately when I've ingested something with gluten as i get really lethargic and bloated!!! I try not to eat out anymore. It's not worth it.

Good luck with your journey :)

I would suggest getting up earlier. Since you know the time frame when you are going to have to go that can help. It may take some getting used to since you need to go to sleep earlier also but that would be better than risking an 'accident' on your way to work.

It does take some time to heal but hopefully soon you will stop having D. Make sure you are eating a whole unprocessed diet as much as possible and eliminate dairy as well for a bit until you have healed.

You didn't mention if you were eating before or after you got to work. If you're eating before leaving the house, you might want to eat after you arrive instead. For some people, eating food begins the breakdown process really quickly.

Try some Miralax! (it's gluten-free)

I find that I have to go earlier if I get gluten contamination, and when I am really gluten free, I go much later. Also coffee brings it on. If you have coffee in the morning at home, maybe you could try bringing it to work instead. Probably after you settle into gluten free better, things will improve.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      Celiac disease symptoms

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
