Stools - Horrible Topic

Are your stools normal since you have been gluten free? How long did it take? Seems like I get maybe three to four firm stools a month and the rest are soft. Not diarrhea, but soft like oatmeal. :rolleyes: Gluten free for a year and a half.

are you still eating dairy??

i cant remember how long mine took to normalize- probably 2 weeks to become normal. if i consume ANY or TOO MUCH milk one day- then the next morning there's a little "D". if i overdo the cheese- its not good at all... and if i overdo fructans/fructose in salad form or garlic/onion form then there's a little "D" too.

as long as i eat a healthy paleo type diet and get enough fruits & veggies- it's almost the "S" that Dr. Oz always talks about.

also- too many grains & gluten free substitutes especially corn will mess me up too.

i wonder what your diet is like? and i wonder how bad your intestinal damage was before you went gluten free?

sorry for all the poo descriptions :huh:

This is what I usually eat daily.

Fruit smoothie in the morn. (blueberries, strawberries, banana)

Eggs

Snack - Apple with p-nut butter

lunch - white rice with slice of cheese and turkey slices or turkey meat with tomatos and cheese or sweet potato with cottage cheese

dinner is usually chicken and carrots, or chicken or steak fajita

Occasionally - a few pieces of dove chocolate or vanilla ice cream.

Nothing to alarming that would keep me this way. Doc never said anything about me being really bad off when I had an endoscopy done. :unsure:

I was diagnosed in Sept, I never have/had abnormal stools- unless I was sick or something. So strange how this disease affects peopel differently.

3 years in and I'm still waiting. Chronic constipation. And its not for lack of fibre or water in my diet.

have you had your thyroid checked?? cause i always blamed my constipation on my gluten issues, or my battle with quitting smoking... but it wasnt untill i started on thyroid meds- that i noticed a change, i had NO IDEA that the slow motility i had for the last 7 years could be from a Hypothyroid.

wow, idk... it seems like you eat pretty healthy... do u have any stomach cramping? or bloating? or just too soft "bm"s?? that smoothie, apple, and sweet potato are so good for you and probably making your bms really smooth- but i dont think you should not eat them... cause it's so healthy. i think you could maybe be eating more greens- i think it's important to get your green colors too- different vitamins, etc.

??? not sure

this might sound weird- but have u ever tried metamucil? or bentonite clay? sometimes i actually have a harder bm after doing metamucil- and im guessing that maybe there was stuff stuck to the walls- and the psyllium grabbed it all- making the bm a little more substantial.

ok, idk, im thinking outloud..

Yup, thyroid checked and all was normal. I should note that in addition to adequate fibre and water, I'm also quite active (I run marathons) - all the things that doctors tell you to do to resolve constipation issues, I'm already doing!

Have you had any issues with other intolerances ?? I find my constipation is at its worst when i consume something that i have an intolerance too

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      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/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
