Is it just me or does it seem like when you eat something you shouldn't....you have to urinate more frequently? Maybe it's just me but I was wondering if this happens to anyone else.

Yep happens to me every time I get glutened by CC. I also get bladder spasms with it. Drives me nuts.

One thing which may help, is to make sure you replenish your electrolytes. Coconut water (not the milk) is supposed to be very good for this, as it is an excellent source of potassium and other minerals. Or you can try a potassium supplement, or even a sports drink. Sodium is also an important electrolyte.

Most of those Sports Drinks set off my Gout...

I am constantly needing to urinate and even get up once or twice a night to go. Yet another pleasant side effect of this illness. Thanks to those who wrote suggestions above this. I LOVE coconut water but didn't realize it was good for us!

No, I had that checked. But thanks for asking. I might ask my new GP to recheck me. Can it show up if you've already tested negative for it? I just moved to a new town/state so I have only seen a GI so far. Have the name of the GP and will make an appointment.

I have the same problem - although it varies in intensity...kinda weird. It's a pain, though, isn't it? One thing that helps me a lot is using homeopathic remedies. A good place to find out which one you might try is:

I have no personal/financial interest in the site, by the way...I'm just a happy homeopath. :-)

Being of the male persuasion, I was having a bit of prostate trouble for the last 2 years. I would have to get up 3 or 4 times a night. The doc checked everything out and said I was healthy. Due to my celiac diagnosis on 10/27/10 and being gluten-free since, I've just noticed I no longer have any prostate issues! I never would have connected the two. I'm still not feeling well overall, but this is one positive sign on the road ahead!

It does take time and there are a number of other factors including sugar levels. I used to get up every hour on the hour and they told me it was normal. I didnt want more drugs. Cutting back on the carbs made all the difference.

good luck

Diabetes test results are not a simple matter of positive or negative. Blood sugars and imbalances fall along a wide spectrum. Know your numbers-ask for them and know what they mean and where you fall on that spectrum. A one-time blood sugar number or a fasting blood sugar number is not an accurate indication. An A1C would be better.

Blood sugar problems can crop up at any time so can and should be re-evaluted at any given time if there seems to be a concern.

It is possible to have blood sugars that are elevated enough to cause frequent urination but not be oficially diabetes. As Ken mentioned, dietary changes can address that. It's still important to know your numbers.

When my Rhemy was screening me for Lupus he said that frequent urination is a symptom of Autoimmune Disorders. I don't have more insight to share other than that, but it also happens to me when I eat something I shouldn't have.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
