Celiac With Constipation

I meet with my gastro doctor soon to discuss some blood test results I got back that may point towards Celiacs Disease. I am hoping to get sent in for a liver biopsy. I have been researching a lot about the disease and I have a lot of the symptoms. But one symptom I am questioning is diarreah. I do get bouts of diarreah but not as bad as I get chronic constipation with cramping. If I don't have severe diarreah is that a sign that perhaps I don't have Celiacs? I am often nauseas after meals with gas pain, but constantly have to take miralax,fiber supplements and even use suppositories to help with constipation problems. I want to be sure I have all the information I can before discussing all of this with my doctor. Thanks for any input.

Constipation is a common symptom, although not as common as diarrhea.

I did not suffer from diarrhea, but constipation and was diagnosed in December at the age of 32. God bless and hope you get answers!

You can have constipation with celiac disease.

Many of us have thyroid problems too, which can be a cause of constipation.

Its a common symptoms for sure, not sure why you would want a liver biopsy if the results are pointing towards Celiac?

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
