Do You Pee A Lot?

So as the description said I used to pee about every hour. I didn't drink a lot, but after measuring my input and output one day I found that I am normal, but I would always pee 3 oz, aside from when I woke up in the morning and it would be about 8 to 10 oz. The doctor told me that because my output was less then my input that there was nothing he could do, except maybe run some expensive tests, but I don't have health insurance. I have now been gluten free for over 2 months and I can now go between 2 to 4 hours without a trip to the bathroom. So has anyone else had a frequent urination problem, that has lessened or done away with the gluten free diet? Does anyone think it might be related to Celiac? Thanks :)

ok, so- excuse my rambling/incoherent thoughts:

i do not know of any particular link at all. BUT-

1. i did read that D-Mannose can help to bind up gluten so u can purge it. D-Mannose also binds up sugars in the bladder and can help fight bladder infections.

2. and i worked with a girl who had Interstitial Cystitis which i believe is an autoimmune disease? many people have a few autoimmune diseases as opposed to one.

3. the last time i went back on gluten- i continuously felt like i MIGHT be getting a bladder infection.

4. and- embarrassingly, i was a horrific bed wetter- even into my teens, and always lost it when i laughed too hard.

i dont know if those are linked to gluten at all ??? but that's my 2 cents

Right before my diagnosis and for the years leading up to it I pretty much had to know where the bathrooms were. I could never get enough to drink but always felt dehydrated. Once I went strict gluten-free I was amazed at the change and would actually be able to go hours ...up to six or more without having to go. I am intentionally hydrating a bit more now but still find it all far more manageable than before my DX.

Hmm, it's interesting to read that you now can go up to 6 hours, maybe after a few more months I can go that long. I did look into the Interstitial Cystitis that cassP mentioned, and it said that people who have it commonly have IBS ( the most common miss diagnoses for celiac). But who knows, I'm just glad that I might have something to look forward to in a few months. :) Thanks you guys, and hopefully I will get some more input to see if there are more people who have (had) this problem.

Yes, I have always had this problem. Good to see other mention intersticial cyctitis as this is what I was thinking too.

I have had IC most of my life. Some do believe this is also an autoimmune disorder.

More recently I met with a doc (a neurologist) who said some now believe IC is not it's own condition but probably part of another.

I believe this for sure!

My bladder issues often flair up with other symptoms such as sinus inflammation, rectal inflammation, joint pain, fatigue etc.

I have learned to control my bladder problems the same as I have all my other symptoms which is through diet.

Since I have been doing the gluten challenge ... I have noticed I am peeing a whole lot more .. having to get up in the middle of the night etc.

What I think is happening is I am having some bladder inflammation due to what I have been eating.

Along with my bladder symptoms I am also have left side pain which I think is coming from my colon and joint pain.

Not really and I probably drink 150 oz of water a day. I never have to get up in the night probably only go 3x during the day at work. I think I have a big bladder!

I have always had a problem with urgency, but about 6 months after having my youngest daughter I ended up having incontinence during the night could not hold it and would wake up at night with the urge to go and knew that when I stood up it would fall out of me. I started having to wear udult pull ups, and now I wear them all the time. :(

It would be sooo great if I didn't have to wear them anymore.

now I can't wait to go gluten free. come on sept 8th, hurry up and get here!! :D

:( no unfortunatly I don't have a biopsy scheduled yet, but I am going to tell the doc to blood test me. I don't think I will have a problem with this doc testing me. time will tell. :)

One hundred-fifty fluid ounces a day? With the possible exception of a major athlete, a person would die of water intoxication by drinking that much water.

I had to convert that to litres - its about 4.5 - and I used to drink that much each day. Not all at once but between say 6am and 9pm. I tend to drink sips of water all the time.

I'm ok if I kept it around that much at the most, but I find if I have more than that I get even thirstier and it gets out of hand and I start to feel really spacey. My doctor read me the riot act when I told him but once I knew how dangerous it was I got good at stopping well before then - say around 3 or 3.5 litres.

I used to have to go a lot, lot more, and had frequent UTI's.

It was protein and calcium crystals in the bladder, irritating it, because the body will rob your bones when it's malnourished, to maintain calcium levels in the blood, only nobody knew why at the time. I got a little bit better by taking a lot of calcium citrate, don't take calcium carbonate (Tums) because that makes it even worse.

Much better now. :)

HAHA, it's really not that much! I sit at my desk all day at work and just keep refilling my water bottle (20 oz) and then I usually drink a few glasses at night! I do workout 4-5 days a week. Never once did I get sick.

Also- I don't like pop or juices so water to me tastes great.

Actually, it is, especially considering the fact that one consumes water in the form of fruits, vegetables, etc. Perhaps, you're misjudging the amount of water you're really drinking but I've studied nutrition in college and learned about the dangers of water intoxication. To consume as much water as you've claimed is very dangerous.

Well, if you studied it in college you must know that the human kidneys of a healthy adult can process up to 15 liters of water a day (507 ozs) so I am drinking far less that what is considered "very" dangerous. I am not looking to get into an argument with you, but I also know that I am not being dangerous with the amt of water I am drinking.

Also, water intoxication happens when you drink a lot of water very fast. I drink my 150 oz starting at 9am and ending at 9pm and I run 3 miles 5 days a week, so that is hardly a dangerous amount to be drinking!

      Glutened

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar. 2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo. .horrendous stomach pains, My hair was wet fro...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax. Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day. Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep. The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I looked further into Thiamax Vitamin B1 by objective nutrients and read all the great reviews. I think I will give this a try. I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state...

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent. People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7. People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9. There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease. Are you still having symptoms? What do...

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks

      Yes, do take your B Complex with Benfotiamine or Thiamax.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins in the B Complex to make energy and enzymes, so best to take them together earlier in your day.  Taking them too close to bedtime can keep you too energetic to go to sleep.   The Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine is Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride, another form of thiamine the body likes.  The Thiamine HCl just helps the Benfotiamine work better.   Read the label for how many milligrams are in them.  The Mega Benfotiamine is 250 mgs.  Another Benfothiamine has 100 mgs.  You might want to start with the 100 mg.    I like to take Thiamax in the morning with a B Complex at breakfast.  I take the Benfotiamine with another meal.  You can take your multivitamin with Benfotiamine at lunch.   Add a magnesium supplement, too.  Thiamine needs magnesium to make some important enzymes.  Life Extension makes Neuro-Mag, Magnesium Threonate, which is really beneficial.  (Don't take Magnesium Oxide.  It's not absorbed well, instead it pulls water into the digestive tract and is used to relieve constipation.)  I'm not a big fan of multivitamins because they don't always dissolve well in our intestines, and give people a false sense of security.  (There's videos on how to test how well your multivitamin dissolves.).  Multivitamins don't prevent deficiencies and aren't strong enough to correct deficiencies.   I'm happy you are trying Thiamax and Benfotiamine!  Keep us posted on your progress!  I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.

I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.
