Day 12- Still Waking Up With D

Hey experts- I'm on day 12 of no gluten and no dairy. I'm feeling a little better mood & energy wise, but I'm still waking up in the morning with either diarrhea of soft stools (light colored). Any tips? Does it take longer than 12 days to start to resolve? The diarrhea during the day is mostly gone, but the mornings are the same. I'm eating mostly whole, gentle foods.

Unfortunately, it takes a while for everything to start working the way nature intended. Hange in there, and maybe add a good gluten free probiotic to your regimen.

Did you switch to whole foods? Or are you eating processed substitutes?

Mostly whole foods: nuts, fruits, veggies, rice, etc. A few substitutes. I did add a probiotic last week too. I'm getting a lot of fiber, obviously, so could that be making the stool soft?

More fiber than you are used to eating will change your bowel movements. If you feel like your moving towards more formed stool, and away from straight diarrhea, then it would seem like you're moving in the right direction. If you still think everything is random, you might want to consider other food issues, but do give yourself a couple weeks to let your body adjust.

Everything is right what others sad, but I will give three other option. They are from my experience.

1. I'm fructose intolerant. My body can't digest some fruits, syrups, juices, or jelly, jam. Fructose intolerance can cause diarrhea, and will cause bloathing, gas, cramps. If you started to eat more friuts, you might be intolerant to some (grapes, apples, pears,...).

2. You can have other intolerances or allergies(eggs, soy, corn,...).

3. I also had SIBO- small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. I was tested for candida and helico-bakteria which was negative. My doctor tested me for SIBO, and I was positive. After two antibiotics everything is perfect now.

All this things can cause diarrhea. If you wouldn't get better after few weeks, try to look for the cause in other places. Sooner you find what is your trigger, sooner you will get better.

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
