Do You Pee A Lot?

[scuzy]

I posted this on the pre-diagnoses but I might get more responses from the post-diagnoses section.

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

I have a condition called Interstitial cystitis, one of the symptoms is frequent urination(without a UTI). The symptoms to UTI are similar so you might want to get checked. My GI dr said that Interstitial cystitis(IC) and celiac (and fibromyalgia) go together. I have all of them.

So to answer your question, if you have IC like me, yes it's related to celiac disease.

My symptoms were much more severe(extreme bladder pain and back pain, etc) than yours and the tests does cost a lot. My symptoms got better after being gluten and dairy-free.

Anyway there's so much info about IC, let me know if you need help, I'll be happy to point you to the right direction. If you do have it, there's a lot of things you can do to help, for me I was on the alkaline diet and that helped. But most of all being gluten-free helped me tremendously with the IC.

I think there is a connection between gluten consumption and thirst / peeing a lot. I used to be thirsty all the time. It was crazy. People at work tease me because when I went away for 3 weeks they barely had to change the water cooler bottles. I do not have diabetes - I've been tested a million times. I do have insulin resistance but my doctor said it was unrelated to my thirst since my blood sugar levels are still normal. No one has been able to explain it and it's been about 10 years of endless thirst and the back of my mind fear of being stuck somewhere with not enough water to drink (you would not have wanted to stuck with me if there were was water rationing!)

Anyway, I gave up gluten and I'm now thirsty like a regular person. I have to make sure I drink the 8 glasses, rather than trying to keep it below 4 litres a day.

I feel like I have just been the opposite. I have been gluten free for 2 weeks now and I feel like my output has increased. I can't say frequency is increased, but it seems like output has. Does this make any sense??? Could it be swelling resolving? I never thought I was swollen, but I have always had high inflammation levels (Sed rates and ANA) so doctors ruled out lupus and rhematoid arthritis. (I also chose to go off my anti-inflamatory meds as my joint pain has been gone since going gluten-free)

when i have something that irritates my gut this definitely happens. i normally go every few hours anyways but it also depends on how much water i've had during the day. at night i don't normally wake up to pee unless i've had alot before bedtime.

I was this way before going gluten-free. I would wake up in the morning and couldn't get enough to drink.

I felt that I urinated less often after going gluten free. My theory is that I have less bloating and so there is less pressure on my bladder, makes sence to me.
