Is Urgency A Symptom?

Hey gang: Is urgency to go (ya know #2) a symptom of celiac? Someone in my family on infrequent occassions will suddenly have to go & if they don't get to a toilet with a minute or two they will have an accident. Its that fast & out of the blue. They cannot hold it at all. Fatigue/foggy brain is only other thing we can think of. (they have been accused of being passive-aggressive which we think is the foggy brain ) This person is in their mid 40's.

what do you guys think?

ok then does the fact that it is infrequent make it possibly NOT a symptom? The family member says it isn't diarrhea, that its just loose, fast & furious. not too graphic I hope) Oh and now I am told the anus stings & burns alot. Sry if thats not important.

I will advise them to keep a food diary until they can get tested.

Oh no apologies. We talk about poo all the time on here :lol:

fast, furious,burning and painful

I burned down there for the longest time

during and after a BM... just agony

OR

hard, small marbles, like passing glass shards

I've run the gamut

frequent or infrequent

makes no matter

fatigue

foggy brain

yup, yup

It is not "normal" to have an urge and be unable to control it.

Urinary urgency is also a symptom. Abdominal swelling and GI tract inflammation presses on that bladder and makes for some irritation.

I just PMed you (personal messenger) with a link to over 300 symptoms of celiac disease. Just FYI! ;) Some things that may seem "unrelated" add up. I had so many weird symptoms-- but when I saw that list, I felt validated. :)

Hey Irish: yes I got the list (again) lol,,, anyway urgency doesn't seem to appear on the list but maybe there is a name for it that I don't recognize,--same for the burning butt. I mean it doesn't say burning butt syndrome LOL... Oh yeah now I am told there is heartburn by my family member. Seems to be adding up...

On the list is hangnail. Well how is hang nail a symptom--geez you can snag your nail on anything.

BTW what stopped your butt from burning? A&D ointment was used with little effect & now triple antibiotic is being used which is a little better.

On a side note my DD' s hair has hardly grown in over a yr & has a lot of breaking. And it seems drier than usual--I don't see this on the list--maybe unrelated?

Sorry if I sent it twice. My bad.

Took a few months,but no more gluten passing through and reduced inflammation stopped my butt from burning.

Urinary tract infections and bladder pain --symptoms of celiac disease-- confirmed by my GYN. Also, burning girlie parts. Great fun. :huh:

Hair loss is on the list. Lots of people have this issue on here. Me included. :( Mine is so thin and breaks off easily.

There may be things that are NOT on the list. Yet. They update frequently.

@Irish, No not hair loss or thinning--just not growing or barely growing & a big chunk broke of so all the lengths are very uneven. . The hair is still thick & curly. I think it has to do with the vit D deficiency. I got her on gluten-free multi-vits Plus a calcium chewy & extra Vit D I suspect hair will grow now. She always had & still has beautiful strong fingernails but her toenails are softer. Go figure.

Back to the burning butt, did you try any ointments or creams that helped?

Butt tip: baby powder or cornstarch sometimes helps.

alopecia--hair loss in chunks. on the list.Those spots should grow back in.

I tried things, but frankly, nothing helped. That has stopped now that I am gluten free...

My GI issues with BM were also random. Time, urgency, frequency, consistency, there was nothing the was the same it seemed like. The only thing I never had was constipation.

Family member is skeptical but I am making leeway. i think they will finally join or at east lurk.

@Irish, There aren't any hair loss spots. I am not explaining correctly I guess. a piece of DD's hair broke off-- like in half. No hair is missing from the scalp. its the same as like cutting half a chuck of hair off. Alopecia as I understand it, is hair falling out causing bald patches, right?

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates? https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
