Frequent Urination?


BeHappy

Recommended Posts

My daughter just started her gluten free diet on Wednesday, and call my crazy but she started going to the bathroom almost every hour... With a full bladder! She also started pooping normally for the first time in her life which I am SO happy about. Is her frequent urination connected somehow? She doesn't seem to be drinking any more than usual...

not sure if there's a link... but before this last July when i went 100% gluten free- i actually went on & off a paleo/bloodtype O/atkins diet since 1998.... and everytime i got back on (removing wheat & other carbs)- for the first 2 weeks- i would pee A LOT more, sometimes waking up in the middle of the night to pee- i think its just detoxing & de-bloating

make sure your child is hydrating plenty with water and some juices... im assuming the kidneys are working harder to detox- so keep them hydrated.

My son did this for awhile when he first went gluten free. He was urinating all the time. I asked the doctors about and they didn't think it was related, but I was convinced it was somehow. Either way, it has resolved. Hopefully it will for your child too!

My son and I both had the same issue. I think it was because, while eating gluten, we were both chronically dehydrated. Once nutrients and fluids were being normally processed, we had to go a LOT more often. No scientific evidence, but I believe the bladder shrinks when we are chronically dehydrated, so the bladder feels fuller faster. Might it be the same for yours?

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
