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.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
