if my bowel movements seem better for 2 days, then they get bad again....eating the same foods....seems to me if they are better, you are improving and should only continue to get better UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhh

How long have you been gluten-free? If celiac disease has damaged your intestines, it may take quite a while for symptoms to completely clear up. During that time, they may "just happen" for no apparent reason. I saw immediate improvement, but it took several months for the symptoms to completely go away.

Three weeks is certainly not enough time for anything close to complete healing.

And even after healing, keep this in mind -- going gluten-free doesn't magically take care of all of life's ailments. People who don't have celiac also have bowel fluctuations and problems.

my only symptoms were chronic diarrhea on and off for 5 weeks and terrible gas....awful.....just wish it would completely go away and be normal like it used to. I think what finally put me over the edge was a 4 day binge of coronas, pizza and bagels :(:( Next came a stomach flu, chills, fever, diarrhea. Chills and fever cleared up after 3 days...however diarrhea and nasty poops and gas continued and I couldn't understand why. For years I would work out in the gym and not see results i wanted.....i have always been between 110-120, and have recently got up to 134 :( I always had a feeling carbs, now I know gluten didnt sit well with me.....thanks for the info guys...I am just frustrated, nice to know I can come here. thanks again

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
