Malabsorption And Excessive Bowel Movements

Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering how long it takes for the excessive bowel movements to stop. I don't have D anymore but I just keep going and going and going (like the energizer bunny :)

Also while I have this, my lower gut is tender and sore...a little bruised feeling.

It took me months to slow it down. And I would feel tender sometimes.

Sorry....wish I could have said something more encouraging.

Heating pads are lovely. It took me a few weeks. We're all different :)

For some reason I'm remembering 11 days. I'm not sure that is correct but it was a many days.

Mine didn't slow down until I started taking a scoop of Metagenics UltraClear Sustain in my smoothie every day. It took about two weeks to clear up the frequent bowel movements--I've been "normal" ever since. I can highly recommend this product.

Thanks everyone! I don't have a hot water bottle but I do have a heating pad and it really does help the pain. My pain has moved from the lower left to the lower right so hopefully it's on the mend!

I am noticing that I am getting some of my stamina back. :)

Now if I could just stay out of the bathroom! :)

At least that means you can run to the bathroom now :)

( I know some days that's not funny. I take a pillow too and sleep on the floor then :o )

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      I also had high eosinophils which I’ve never had before either - could that be due to gluten consumption?

      You're welcome! Be sure the patient eats at least ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks prior to repeating antibody testing.   Some people unconsciously reduce the amount of gluten in their diet because the feel unwell.  Three grams of gluten per day is sufficient to produce symptoms.  Only at ten grams or more is the immune system provoked to raise the antibody production high enough so that the antibodies leave the digestive tract and enter the blood stream where they can be measured.   Read the comments below the article...

      Thanks for your response and thoughts. Total IgA is normal. HLA DQ2/DQ8 came as heterozygous and the interpretation of the lab that the risk of coeliac disease is mild to moderate. Thyroid function test is normal. I agree that the best way is to repeat tTG antibodies in 6 months time as the result was not massively high.

      Welcome to the forum, @Wamedh Taj-Aldeen, How is the patient's thyroid?   You could check for thiamine deficiency which can cause the thyroid to either become hyper or hypo.  TTg IgA can be high in both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism.  tTg IgA can also be high if patient is taking medications to stimulate the thyroid as in hypothyroidism.   Thanks for visiting!  Keep us posted!
