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.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac.  Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction.  However, avoiding it here in the states.   Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Oral thrush question

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      I think I am gluten intolerant

      By ElenaM · Posted

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Oral thrush question

      By JulieRe · Posted

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.
