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.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
