The only thing they came up with was Melenosis which is a discoloration of the lining as a result of laxative abuse. First off, I don't take laxative. Secondly my scope was a week ago and I still havent been able to go. If I took so much laxative to discolor my colon I wouldn't be going so long without going!

grrr.... I am feeling bloated but nothing is happening. I think the bentyl is slowing things down TOO much although I take it with fibre and probiotic.

I gotta get things moving. any advice?

Lower the dose of the bentyl. Ask you doctor for either a lower dose pill or if it's okay, if it is a tablet to cut it in half. Also if you were taking it for D and you are on the diet you maybe healing and now be medicating something you no longer have. That would constipate you.

She made me choose which was worse... the D or the constipation. For me, they were equal so I think that is part of the problem. I am going to stop taking the bentyl all together and see if that helps.

along with the other suggestions :) Thanks guys.

I use Movicol/Miralax. It is what my Dr recommended after a near impaction after a barium swallow. I never want to be that near an impaction ever again!! Constipation is my symptom of a glutening so now have a remedy of starting the Movicol as soon as there is a problem. It takes a few days to work. 2 sachets a day ( for several days) is my glutening remedy to clear a minor blocked/ static bowel. For the near impaction it was 8 sachets a day ( yes 8 ) but only do that with a Dr's advise! I normally do not use it - and just have fibre and fruit normally. And no gluten of course.

Gorgie, I have been taking miralax every day. It didn't work ove3r a 3 day period so I stopped.

I have been impacted and it's torture. I was pregnant and had severe hyperemesis. I went probably a week without food and little water (kept nothing down what so ever 24/7) when they set me up with home health care. I had a Pic-U with a 3 gallon bag of water and reglan. I gained 6lbs in one week (needed at that time) but of course the pipes were plugged. I wanted to die it hurt so bad. Had to watch what I took due to PG. I feel you sister. I feel you.

Today I said.. Screw this! I am buying a saline laxative. Tonight I am bloated and hurting and gurgling then that tale tell cramping... It's not Constipation, it's D! What the heck? how can I have that if I havent gone in a week? I am so tired of my body right now. I can't (won't) take a bentyl because I need it to move through.

I'm just tired of this. I'm about to just stop taking everything. I'm tired of medications and bowel issues and people eating stuff*I* want to eat. Ok maybe that is not true. I am being a baby. I appologize.. Can't a girl just have a normal poo once in a while I mean really, is that so much to ask!?

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system
