Welcome Kryptonite!

Did you tell you Dr. about the change in your stool? I would recommend that you do that if you haven't. If he/she does not seen concerned about it, you might need to see another Dr. for a second opinion. I believe it has to do with the biliary system (the drainage system of the gallbladder, liver, and pancreas) something to get checked out.

hi and thanks for your reply,

i also had forgotten to mention that this had happened before i was diagnosed with celiac also back in 2003.so its happened a few times before.so i probably had celiac back then also.

Pale stools are often an indication that not enough bile from the liver is being squirted in tho the food you have eaten. Biliary congestion is common in people with Celiac Disease, usually because the system is clogged with gallstones, bile sludge and parasites. In my experiences it can also be caused by inflammation of the small intestine, swelling the bile and pancreatic ducts closed. In reading messages some people's congestion clears up as they heal and the inflammation is reduced. Sufficient bile will color the stool dark brown. Others will eventually become completely clogged and Drs may advise to having the gallbladder removed. Instead of surgery I chose to flush out the congestion using Gallbladder/Liver Flushes and doing herbal Parasite killing programs and, adding fiber to meals which is known to increase bile production in the liver.

Dear Mari,

Thank you very much for your post. I greatly appreciate you sharing this information. I will try to include more fiber in my diet.

Sincerely,
