Slightly Humourous But Serious Poop Question

Okay, so I got glutened three days ago, and everything I have ate afterwards has went right through me. You know, when it gets to the point that you're laughing on the toilet because it's just been your best bud.

Anyway, tonight for a snack I was FAMISHED, and ate literally everything in site for 45 minutes: I was cracking nuts right and left, I had four huge bowls of cereal, tonnes of fruit. It was delicious! But SO much.

But never ending.

Does that happen to people after a glutening? After the diarreah (hopefully) starts letting up, is it like, "okay, time to replenish?"

Does diarreah act like a laxative? If I were to diarreah after every meal for the next, I don't know, week, would I lose (real) weight?

For the love of pete, we're all too skinnnny anyway!

But really these are serious questions.

I have an exam tomorrow, so let's say a prayer that this 80 lbs of food stays where she belongs.

Lorka--I get very hungry after being glutened, too. Probably the 3rd or 4th day when the nausea lets up, I'm so thirsty and hungry for gluten free carbs, especially. Good luck at the Dr. :)

I am extremely hungry after i am glutened, and the experience is very much like what you described. But i certainly havent lost weight from getting sick, b/c i find that i do replenish (possibly over-replenish!) after getting glutened.

I lost weight in the beginning, before I knew what was causing my diarrhea. Everything I ate...even plain ol rice would go right through. Now, if I'm accidentally glutened, I take immodium. That stops the diarrhea immediately! :) For me..when I was sickest, it took longer to feel better after eating gluten and now that I'm healing, I'm only sick for a day sometimes two. I just watch my diet and don't eat anything else that irritates my stomach.

I also get very hungry and want to eat everything in site but I try not to. I want to keep my weight where it is!

Good luck on the exam!! :)

Traveljunkie--When you take Immodium after a gluten accident, does it also help with the cramping and nausea? I usually let it run its course, but if that would help, I may try it. Thanks!

Hi jerseyangel,

Yes , for me it does. I don't usually get nausea just burning type sensations in the intestines. I usually let it run its course as well, but if I have to go out, taking immodium gives me peace of mind. My reactions to gluten are intense itchy rash with burning intestines followed by diarrhea. Give immodium a try and see if it helps with nausea. I usually take 2 if its a bad reaction. Hope it works for you! :)

I have tried the immodium thing and I find that all it does is trap that battle inside your belly even longer, I think its better to just let it run its course, that is as long as I have a day or three to sit in my bathroom! But no, when i take the immodium I just feel like I need to D and cant, and that is NO FUN

Our ancestors, in the 19th and early 20th centuries, had the right stuff for D: Tincture of Opium.

That drug, with its narcotic pain-killing properties, would be perfect for us today. Contrary to what the idiots in charge of drug policies say, it will not have any long-term addiction or side effects when used occasionally.

Even if a person had to take it frequently, they would not be "high" from it - and the risk of developing a "habit" is negligible. I was strongly considering getting this before discovering that I had Celiac. I have heard that the version available today is not as strong as it once was. That sounds par for the course

They probably got more relief out of the opium back then, than we can get from the over-the-counter or prescription stuff we are all stuck with today.

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      By trents · Posted

      By far, the most likely cause of villous atrophy in the Marsh 3 range is celiac disease but there are other possible causes. Did you also have positive antibody tests? My guess is that when you see your physician he/she will declare you to have celiac disease. Of course, the ultimate proof of the pudding will be if you experience definite improvement in symptoms after going gluten free which, since you have now completed testing, you should begin to do.

      Waiting on biopsy results but wanted opinion on bloodwork

      By Lynnard · Posted

      Hi again - I received the biopsy results but haven't had follow up appointment with Dr. yet.  Wondering if you could comment on this: "Duodenum, random, Biopsy (Cold Forceps): MILD VILLOUS BLUNTING WITH PROMINENT INTRAEPITHELIAL LYMPHOCYTES, CONSISTENT WITH SPRUE (MARSH TYPE 3A). See Comment. Negative for Infectious Organisms, Dysplasia or Malignancy. COMMENT: While characteristic, the histologic findings are not diagnostic for gluten-sensitive enteropathy / celiac disease. A number of additional entities can enter into the differential diagnosis of celiac disease based on the histologic features, including tropical sprue, bacterial overgrowth / stasis, unclassified sprue, specific food allergies, many drugs including NSAIDs, olmesartan and immune checkpoint inhibitors, and a wide range of autoimmune diseases including adult-onset autoimmune enteropathy, diabetes, thyroiditis, lupus and multiple sclerosis and occasionally common variable immune deficiency. History of drug take, celiac serologies, HLA-DQ status and response to a gluten-free diet might be a key for a definitive diagnosis" They say "consistent with Sprue (Marsh Type 3A)" and then comment that the findings are not diagnostic for celiac disease.  I thought Marsh type 3 was conclusive (and I know that 3A is the best outcome as it relates to intestinal damage). Is this just normal caveat language or am I missing something?  I had appt scheduled for tomorrow but Dr. is sick and now rescheduled to over a week from now.  Appreciate any insight you can offer in the mean time.  Thanks!!

      Enegy level extremely low

      Hello Scott, I did lose weight at the beginning of diagnosis and I know that it will take time to put on the weight I did lose. I think I have no appetite because this has been a roller coaster of emotions and a Big change on my body and its out of whack mentally and pysically. I think I am just depressed to be honest.

      How long can symptoms take to appear?

      By trents · Posted

      It's easy to forget that it's not only the concentration of gluten in a given food item that's significant but also the total amount of gluten we consume over a period of time. This thing and that thing may meet the gluten-free requirement of not exceeding 20 ppm but if we eat enough of those things in a reasonably short amount of time it can have a cumulative effect because our bodies aren't given enough time to clear the gluten we have already consumed. Just curious. Did you know the fries were wheat breaded when you ate them?

      Hi! I try to steer clear of dairy and I cut out oats at the same time I did gluten products. It may be that something I had recently that was labeled as gluten-free contained oats. I am just so confused as to why I didn’t react when I know I ate wheat flour (breaded fries) but then reacted to something else 9 days later. Maybe you’re right and that it was the accumulation of things.
