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.

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
