Weird D And C Pattern

So I was majorly glutened last Sunday and was up all night with vomiting and D. Took two Immodium at about 4 am on Monday hoping to get some sleep and maybe go to classes (sleep, yes; classes, no). I'm always constipated for a few days after a bout of gluten D, but this time I had no movement until this morning and I had to induce that with black tea because I just couldn't stand it anymore. It was yerba mate, a highly caffeinated South American brew. I drank just over half a cup before I ended up in the bathroom, the result I was hoping for. I made a few more trips, consistent with my usual menstrual plus caffeine habits. However, the movements are constantly changing and now look exactly like Sunday night's results.

So here's the question... Is my body just taking this opportunity to expel the gluten since the Immodium stalled that process last week? Or do I need to question whether this was a separate incident? I'm 99% sure that the tea is gluten-free and I have no other gluten symptoms... well, okay, I do, but I'm 90% sure that it's psychological ("Oh no, I'll it's gluten if I get tired," yawn "if I get the chills" goosebumps" etc, etc) and I can never differentiate my gluten pain from menstrual pain (and I have some pain from a Jello cup that used artificial sweetener, oops). I usually just let the D go to get it over and done with so I don't know if this is normal so if someone could give me a drop of my sanity back my would be forever grateful!

      Help vetting HLA-DQ typing provider

      By cameo674 · Posted

      So those rs numbers tell researchers where the dbSNP is located in a Genome so that other reasearchers or an AI system can look in that specific spot for that Snip of information.  You can look those rs # s by pasting the numbers after rs into the lookup on this page https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/ right under the Blue header bar at the top of the webpage.  Since you are not a researcher, I do not know how this will help you though.

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      By cameo674 · Posted

      So I posted here once before, and everyone advocated that I get into a GI doc.  I finally got into my functional health appointment on 6/16 to get my blood results evaluated and get the Gastro referral. I was told that I would be fortunate to see a gastro doctor by December, because of the number of people waiting to get in, but they did believe that I needed to see a GI doc among others.  Well, the stars aligned. I got home. I looked at MyChart and it showed an appointment available for later that same day. I never clicked so fast on an appointment time. The gastro doc ran some additional blood work based off the December values that had confirmed my daughter's suspicion that I have...

      Worried about being isolated

      I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer.

      Worried about being isolated

      By trents · Posted

      I would think that as long as you keep your food on a wrapper or on a paper plate you would not be at risk for cross contamination. You may be overthinking it all which is common for those in the first year of the celiac journey. But let me ask you. Are you feeling self-conscious about having a celiac diagnosis? I notice the term "isolated" in your thread title. Do you fear being shunned? I offer this video clip for your consideration:
