Mucus In Stool?

Just wondering if having mucus in your stool is common for celiac disease? I've tried doing a search and everything mentions ulcerative colitis and chrohn's but I don't see any mention of celiac disease. I know it's gluten related because I didn't have it before doing this gluten challenge but, can gluten cause ulcerative colitis and chron's also? All my researching has been on celiac so I don't know much about the other conditions. Thanks!

wow... someone finally went there... all this time ive been on here and we're all talkin about our BMs... & ive always been too embarrassed and grossed out to bring this one up.

yes- ive experienced this- off & on the last 8 years or so... i REALLY really hope it doesnt have to be colitis or crohns... because i really started having it on a regular basis in the 2 years between my blood panels & colonoscopy.... and my self diagnosis/going gluten free. so im not sure if i had anything serious. my colonoscopy in 2008 was clear... but i really had the mucous on a regular basis between 2008 & 2010... even when i was only having SMALL amounts of gluten & not too much cramping or pain. i always assumed that it was lymphatic material from the small intestine?? cause cant celiac cause lymphocyte problems in the SI?

it went away completely after i went gluten-free for good. there were actually 2 times in the last 6 months where i thought i was having it again, and it scared the crap out of me- but i realized that the day before i had had TOO MUCH sticky hard cheese- and it had not absorbed at all.

sorry- so much TMI :huh:

so, again, i cant tell u exactly what the cause of it was, or diagnosis, but it did go away when i went gluten free.

I have had this as well. Mine had been on and off for years, but did get really bad in the last six months.(sometimes that's all that came out-TMI) I have only been gluten free for about 6 weeks-but I haven't had it since...So in my case I am sure it was from gluten!

I guess dealing with my girl's digestive problems for the last 3 years has gotten me pretty loose about talking about this stuff :P

I'm pretty sure mine is related to gluten since I didn't have it when I was gluten free and now I'm having it on my gluten loaded diet. It just kinda worried me when I googled it and everything that came up had to do with the other two conditions.

I'll look into the lymphatic problem...

Thanks for the link, Alex. It was very interesting. The more knowledge the better! :) And ditto on the thread topic. Seems to be common.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent. People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7. People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      There are eight essential B vitamins. They are all water soluble. Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys. Thiamine is Vitamin B 1. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses. Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily. The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is...

      Thanks very interesting I have to see if I should take these 2 vitamins along with my multi and super Vit B complex or if its too much or would hurt me. I don't have any other health issues but would love to see if this improves anything especially to feel stronger build muscle.

I noticed only possible side affect is possibly the first week so body adjusts. Life Extensions carries Benfotiamine with Thiamine and the mega one you mentioned. Not sure if both in one is better or seperate. some reviews state a laxative affect as side affect. SHould I take with my super B complex or just these 2 and multivitamin? I will do further research but I appreciate the wonderful explanation you provided on Thiamine.

      There are other Celiac genes. HLA DQ 2 and HLA DQ 8 show up in people from Northern European descent.   People of Mediterranean descent have HLA DQ 7.  People of Asian descent have HLA DQ 9.   There's other Indigenous populations that have other HLA genes that code for Celiac disease.   Are you still having symptoms?   What do you include in your diet?  Are you vegetarian? Are you taking any prescription medication?  Omeprazole?  Metformin?   Do you have anemia?  Thyroid problems? Are you taking any vitamins or herbal supplements?

      There are eight essential B vitamins.  They are all water soluble.  Any excess of B vitamins is easily excreted by the kidneys.   Thiamine is Vitamin B 1.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Benfotiamine and TTFD are forms of Thiamine that the body can utilize very easily.   The form of Thiamine in the supplements you mentioned is Thiamine Mononitrate, a form that the body does not absorb well and does not utilize well.  Only about thirty percent of the amount on the label is actually absorbed in the small intestine.  Less than that can actually be used by the body.  Manufacturers add thiamine mononitrate to their products because it's cheap and shelf-stable.  Thiamine and other B vitamins break down when exposed to light and heat and over time.  Thiamine Mononitrate is a form that does not break down over time sitting on a shelf waiting for someone to buy them.  What makes Thiamine Mononitrate shelf stable makes it difficult for the body to turn into a useable form.  In fact, it takes more thiamine to turn it into a useable form.   Gastrointestinal Beriberi is a localized shortage of Thiamine in the gastrointestinal tract.  High carbohydrate meals can result in gastrointestinal symptoms of Gastric Beriberi.  Fiber is a type of carbohydrate.  So, high fiber/carbohydrate snacks could trigger Gastric Beriberi.   Since blood tests for Thiamine and other B vitamins are so inaccurate, the World Health Organization recommends trying Thiamine and looking for health improvement because it's safe and nontoxic.
