I'm new here--I signed up to get some advice from anyone who had also had this problem and might know of a solution.
About a year ago: I had a gluten-heavy week and noticed that my underwear would get wet around my butt over the course of the day, even when I changed them. Cut the gluten, problem stopped after a week.
Six months ago: Gastroenterologist says I have Celiac disease, I cut gluten out entirely, sans a few mistakes.
Now: The anal leakage problem is back, and has been going strong for the past month. I'm gluten free, but the problem remains. The only changes I had made to my diet were I started taking a caffeine pill daily, eating popcorn with "I can't believe it's not butter!" and eating Home Fried potatoes that I would bake in coconut oil. I'm guessing the problem might have something to do with caffeine and the anal sphincter, or the fat in "I can't believe it's not butter!" and the coconut oil (I read that Celiac effects the absorption of fat, passing it through the colon). So I cut those out a couple days ago, and I'm wondering how long I have to wait for this problem to go away, or if I'm even on the right track.

Your advice/stories would be most helpful to me.
