Do You Pee A Lot?

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) :huh:

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.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
