White Poo

Hi I have a question for you all regarding my daughters stool.

This past week we left my kids at their grandmothers house for a few days, where I am pretty confident they got glutened. My daughter who is suspected celiac but not confirmed, has had belly aches since she got home on Wednesday. She is now pooing this lovely stool that resembles white playdoh. I have never seen anything like this before! It sinks, doesn't float, and I don't see any oil droplets anywhere.

When I google white poo, I get all sorts of liver diseases and gallbladder issues.

I know pale stool can be a symptom of celiac, could anyone tell me if they have had this experience before, or if I should be concerned about bile duct blockage?? And how white is indicative of celiac??

Thanks, I am trying not to freak out here.

Anita

I had this before going gluten free, but not after. I never figured out an exact cause but my digestion was two to three times as fast as normal back then.

typically that is caused by lack of bile salts....

But what causes a lack of bile salts? Is that a celiac thing?

Just an update.....I had an appointment to take her to our doc, and she went to the bathroom, it was normal again. After 3days of white poo, it was brown again! The doc said they didn't need to see her but to bring her in if it happened again.

Bile function is related to a bunch of different organs so it can be tough to know which one might not be doing its job or why, or if it is just a matter of a blockage that could be temporary. 

But I would not panic about a temporary change in stool color as a symptom. I'd be more concerned about the pain. And if your daughter hasn't been tested for celiac yet, perhaps it is time so that when she does visit her grandparents, they take food concerns more seriously.

      High Folate Levels

      By Tyoung · Posted

      I was diagnosed in November with celiacs and at the time had been tested for multiple vitamin deficiencies. During that time my folate level was 4ng/mL, Although I was told to take supplements, I ended up only taking them for a week or so as they made my stomach upset. I had my blood work redone yesterday and as the results came in I noticed that most of my levels are now normal, but folate level is >24ng/mL. Has anyone else had similar results? If so were you able to figure out why or how to normalize them? I also have been having constant acid reflux since about two weeks into going gluten free (no acid reflux history prior to) that we are trying to get to the bottom of with no answers. Could that be related? Thank you!! Also wanted to not that I am not eating any gluten free processed food.

      Do I have celiac/Gluten sensitivity?

      By JohannesW85 · Posted

      Did you take a look at my pics that I uploaded?    These rashes is not itchy, but I have seen that people have this too that have celiac and it’s not itchy for them either. I have also heard that sulfur burps are a common things with celiac too.  Yes it can be something else too but it’s to much symptoms that I have that match with either gluten sensitivity or celiac.   Hopefully it’s just gluten intolerance and not celiac.  As I said before I have the gen type for celiac and diabetes typ 1 and the those diseases going hand in hand.    Thanks again Trent for your time to reply, and I wonder if any body else have kind of the same symptoms that I have?

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Welcome Connie Smitj,  Did you have a follow up test to see if the treatment for H Pylori was successful?  It's possible to catch it again, especially from a partner.  When I contracted it a second time my wife was tested and was positive for two of the bacteria in H Pylori.

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Connie Smitj! Can you give us a little more history about your celiac journey? How long ago were you diagnosed and how long have your been gluten free? Do you have other symptoms besides quick onset of hunger after eating and gut pain? How long have these symptoms being happening?

      Hunger, nervous stomach or Hpylori?

      By Connie Smitj · Posted

      I eat a gluten-free diet but hunger pains start within an hour of eating dinner. I  had h pylori infection before I was diagnosed. Occasionally I’ll have bouts of pain. Could it come back or is it just celiac disease?
