Diarrhea For Months - Is It Celiac ?

Hello all,

I started to have diarrhea bowel movements since July 2012. Before this I had normal bowel movements, and had often constipation issues (no urge to go for 1-2 days).

Since then, I haven't managed to get a normal bowel movement. About my situation now, I have one bowel movement, the same time every day in the morning (about 07:30 AM) which is apparted from loose and fatty stools. Furthermore, I have a strong urge to go, in addition to the older days, in which I had trouble going frequently. So basically, 2,5 months now I have one loose & fatty BM every day.

I also have some other symptoms of celiac disease, but I can't be sure for them and here's why. I have fatigue, but I think this comes from my job which is tiring.

I also have lost many pounds. I am not sure if this comes from green tea and my job which boost metabolism, but weight loss is a fact, even If I have a huge appetite to eat everything that's in front of me.

The last symptom I have is gases. Lots of gases and sometimes I feel really bloated.

Some months ago, I faced severe diarrhea, after eating 3-4 slices of rye bread. That day, I had 2 loose BMs.

What do you think of my situation ? Could this be a celiac disease ?

Thank you.

It could be Celiac Disease. keep eating a 'normal' diet and get to a gatroenterologist for testing. you may be able to get the initial Celiac panel at your regular doctor's office. make sure you get a hard copy yourself. Then you will know if the full panel was done and where your results are on the 'range'.

So, should I begin with a simple blood test ?

Eating more gluten will make the symptoms worse ? E.g to start eating foods with high gluten amount, so I can figure out if I have stronger symptoms ...

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
