I've been gluten free for a while and I've had little issues but I've been having diarrhea lately and the only thing I can think of is chewing gum. I read it can lead to diarrhea. Is this true? Has anyone else had trouble?

I get stomach upsets from the sweeteners in gum, I think.  I have had the sweeteners on candy and had the same issues.

It does for me. Artificial sweeteners and I don't get along well. I just buy gum sweetened with sugar.

If it has asputame or asuflame it sets me off the mental deep end. I been using only Spry Gum for the past 4 years same for mints.

I don't do gum.

I too since the gluten challenge can only handle post challenge 13 months sugar derived from cane or beets.

In cooking I use honey or maple syrup to sweeten. I don't even use sugar to cook or bake.

my immune system reacts to artificial and corn derived sugars and preservatives.

I just liked gum because I thought it helped with nerves.

If  possible, shower after a bout.  Then dry the area well - might want to blow dry on low.  Then apply a layer of hydrocortisone ointment ( not cream) or baby diaper rash ointment.  The baby stuff is  easier to find but usually has a scent.  The point is to protect the skin from  moisture.  Plain Vaseline will work but doesn't have any thing extra to help heal the skin.

Thanks I'll look for the baby stuff. I've seen some stuff that warm shower will just dry  and irritate more but maybe it was wrong.

Some of the artificial sweeteners used in gum are actually used as laxatives in larger doses, especially the sugar alcohols (usually ending with  -ol, e.g., sorbitol, xylitol, erythritol). 

We also tend to have more sensitive stomachs, so it might not take much to set yours off.

YES. I was never able to find a chewing gum that did not bug me, for whatever reason.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
