My doctor just called and stated that I had stool in my colon, some fibroids, and fluid in my pelvic area, but offered no opinions. If I am off gluten what can I do to get my bowels moving? A lot of fibrous veggies bother me.

I don't know what to do.

As far as fiber there are fiber products on the market. I don't know which ones are gluten-free, so check and see. Water helps, too. Hopefully you'll be able to eat more veggies soon.

It's normal to have stool in your colon. That's where it accumulates until you are ready to go to the bathroom. Did he say it was an unusual amount of stool? Uterine fibroids? Get that sent to the OB/GYN to see if they need to be taken care of.

You need to speak up and ask these doctors what they mean and what to do next. They are paid to help you. You are the consumer. Think of it like that.

Did you by chance mean to say you have blood in your stool?

When my CT scan showed stool in my intestines and colon The doc was referring to excess stool hiding in small pockets on the wall of my intestines and colon.

Getting clarification from your doc can be next to imposable ( I know :ph34r: ) but maybe a talk with him may help ( I can hope cant I :P )

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      The biopsy looks for damage to the mucosal lining of the small bowel from the inflammation caused by celiac disease when gluten is ingested. Once you remove gluten from the diet, inflammation subsides and the mucosal lining begins to heal.

      Doctors and Celiac.com

      Our support groups in Iowa have tried for years to educate doctors and resource sites like this one. We have held yearly conferences with continued education classes. We have brought in Dr. Murray, Dr. Fasano, Dr. Green and Dr. elliott. In those many years we may have had 2 doctors attend. We sent them information, with no response. I talked to...

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      You might also consider a low iodine diet as iodine is know to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. But be careful with that as well as there are health problems that can accrue from iodine deficiency.

      Our support groups in Iowa have tried for years to educate doctors and resource sites like this one.  We have held yearly conferences with continued education classes.   We have brought in Dr. Murray, Dr. Fasano, Dr. Green and Dr. elliott.  In those many years we may have had 2 doctors attend.  We sent them information, with no response.  I talked to my personal doctor and she said their training for Celiac was to show them a skinny man in boxer shorts and a huge stomach.  Saying if you see this, it is Celiac.  If it isn't in their playbook then they don't care.  Most call it an allergy with no mention of our immune system.  There is so much false information on the internet.  Then people don't understand why they can't get well and are acquiring more immune diseases. I mention this site to everyone.  Scott has working hard for the Celiac community.
