Hello everyone first time on here need some feed back very scared and confused.I started getting sick about a year and half ago.I started out with diarrhea pain in left side of belly.I was also bloating really bad and the only way I could get rid of the gas was using a suppository every day.I finally got into see a gastro doc he did a endoscopy and said I was red and irritated in my stomach.He made me an appt for a colonoscopy He gave me the stuff to drink to clean me out and I got half of it down and started throwing up.He wouldn't do the colonoscopy because He was worried I wouldn't be cleaned out enough.I ended up going to the hospital and they did a cat scan with dye and couldn't find any blockages.In the mean time I finally got the pill cam done and that was two weeks ago and still haven't got results back yet.In the mean time I did cut wheat and milk out of my diet and has helped.But thees a huge problem I haven't been able to go to the bathroom by my self for two months. I have had to give myself an enema every 4 days.I still have the pill cam in me.My doctor finally did ex ray and its on lower left side of abdomen.Since I have been having to give myself enemas im really inflamed down there.He prescribed some cream to take swelling away and told me to do sits baths.I still cant get it out tried another enema and now nothing is coming out but water.My doctor wont listen to me.Is it possible I ate wheat and milk for so long and didn't know i was allergic and now my intestines are so inflamed I cant go to bathroom and if that's the case What can I do to heal.By the way I hate my doctor.

It just takes time. I completely understand your frustration. I was unable to use the bathroom for 5 months and it wasnt until about 2 weeks gluten free that I was able to slowly but surely use the bathroom again. I have been gluten free for 4 months now and soy and dairy free for 1 month. I still struggle with constipation but I got so used to not going that I dont really seem to mind the 2 or 3 day periods I cant go. Just stay patient and stay positive! I know it is a difficult road but keep at it and you will figure it out!

So sorry to hear of your difficulty. Take a deep breath... you are going to get through this. I would suggest that you try doing a salt water flush. Open Original Shared Link Here is the link at the website Healthbeyoundhype.com. The salt cleanses the entire digestive system, something an enema won't do. Keep doing it until you get some relief.

Aloe vera juice which is gluten free helps with constipation as does Magnesium Glycinate. Good luck to you.

And if you are able to eat, try a digestive enzyme with each meal. I use enzymedica digest gold. It helps digest food in the stomach so your tract has an easier time. If I take too many per day (3+) I actually get diarrhea.

You may also add a probiotic.

      Welcome to the celiac.com communiuty, @Matthias! Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen1Nc7EtAlJyJbU8EhB89ElCGFPRavEQkTFHv9V2Zh1EMAPRno7UajBpLCQ-1JfC5jKUyzfgsf7jN5L6yfZSgjhnwEbg6KKwWrKeghga8W_CAhEEw9N0.eDBrhYWsjgEFud6ZE03iun0-AEaGfNS1q4ILLjZz7Fs&dib_tag=se&keywords=buckwheat%2Bgroats&qid=1769980587&s=grocery&sprefix=buchwheat%2Bgroats%2Cgrocery%2C249&sr=1-4&th=1 Takes about 10 minutes to cook. Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
