Having To Poop Every Few Minutes, Kind Of Embarasing

My celiac is pretty much under control most of the time. Is it normal to have to poop every few minutes for about a half hour period? My mom says this happens to her but she just sits on the toilet. She doesn't have celiac disease. It is just really annoying expeciall when I have to be to the swimming pool at 7am with my kids. I need to get up at 5:30 to get the poop out before I drive. Or at the end of their practice I have to go several times. So frustrating. Today I had to go 4 times before we got in the car. I had a speck of fetta last night. It could be that as dairy cheese seems to bother me. I also had some bacon last night. Maybe it was the fat. I hate not knowing the cause.

I don't know how long you have been gluten-free. It just may take more time to get the whole system working together. Maybe you need to adjust what you are eating? Maybe you need more fiber? Some probiotics or yogurt every day for a few weeks to get a good balance back?

I kind of do this too I've noticed after I've had entirely too much lactose or dairy or chocolate.  I am still investigating this.  It seems to be an "irritable bowel" problem caused my some kind of food, so trying to do the "elimination diet".  What really helped me to get back on track the most was Solgar's POWDERED lactobacillus acidophilus(its gluten and dairy free)......so now I am wondering if I have candida too.  And I'm wondering if gluten intolerance is "running in my family" as my dad who is 86 just had an endoscope and the doctor told him that he was just "eat up" with candida and it was from wheat...so he told him to be gluten free and he took a very powerful probiotic(he was having "sinus ulcers").  I am also trying the FOODMAPS diet as well as being gluten free and that seems to help tremendously.  I KNOW without a shadow of a doubt that I am lactose intolerant(and I will do what you do until my system gets back on track---if I eat lactose---especially cow's milk). So hope some of these ideas help!

This happened to me before I got my diet figured out and healed.  When I'm well it happens once in the morning.  It is definitely embarrassing, especially when you can't make it to the toilet in time!

There's a good chance you are eating something that is irritating your gut.  Might be time to simplify your diet for a while.  Check all your vitamins and meds for gluten too.

      So, is their reasoning for doing another biopsy after you've been gluten free for awhile to get a comparison of before and after? In other words, there should be healing of the SB lining if you go gluten free for awhile if you have celiac disease?

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Tazzy11! Yes, your DGP-IGG test is positive. It means you could have celiac disease. But there are other possible causes for an elevated DGP-IGG count. I note that your TTG-IGA was not positive. The TTG-IGA is considered the chief celiac antibody test and a bit more reliable than the DGP-IGG. But let me ask you an important question. Prior to the blood draw, had you already begun to limit your intake of gluten? Also, were these the only two tests ordered to check for celiac disease? A physician should always order what we call the "total IGA" test (it goes by other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, the scores for individual IGA celiac antibody tests, such as the TTG-IGA will be falsely low. By the way you spelled "coeliac" I judge you must be in the UK. There are several other antibody tests that can ordered when checking for celiac disease in order to get a more complete picture. Here is an article outlining the various tests:

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.    Per this article: They will likely schedule an endoscopy to see if you have celiac disease, and for this they would want you to continue eating gluten daily until that test is completed.

      Augmentin (amoxicillin) syrup

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
