think my entire life I was pooping once every few days. I recently started gluten free (and dairy free) diet, I'm in my 10 day now I think. Today I pooped 3 times. I never had it before. What does it mean? That my gut are healing? Or what?

Some people who are gluten sensitive get constipated, and some have diarrhea. In your case it is possible that it caused constipation, and now your gut is healing, and you're getting less constipated.

Is your stool well-formed? If the poop is not well-formed but loose it could be that you are not tolerating some ingredient in gluten-free recipes. Many gluten-free recipes, especially with processed gluten-free baked goods, have ingredients that celiacs don't tolerate will such as xanthan gum.

Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or has celiac disease been officially ruled out?

I mostly eat rice and chicken, some legumes, nuts and seeds, I'm avoiding processed foods, and my stool used to be painful and hard and now it's all soft and going out smooth.

Not officially. But a naturopath told me I have to avoid gluten according to tests he made and he knows me and my medical condition and he said I have to stop eating gluten and he thinks I'm sensitive or even have more severe form of gluten intolerance or allergy.

      http://celiacindia.org.in/about-celiac-disease/celiac-disease/prevalence/ The incidence of celiac disease in India is the same as in the West. There has been a dramatic increase in the diagnosis of celiac disease in the past 30 or so years in developed countries. This has coincided with the development of good diagnostic tools and greater awareness and may also indicate higher rates of development of the condition due to changes in diet, environmental toxins, overuse of antibiotics and whatever things contribute to gut dysbiosis in our modern lifestyles. Some people believe that hybridization of wheat to produce varieties that are more drought and disease resistant and contain more gluten has also contributed to the problem.

      The onset of celiac disease can happen at any stage of life. And I don't think wheat is any less a part of the typical American diet than it is in India. But it may be true that we probably introduce wheat later into the diet after birth in the West than is common in India. I'm not sure it is accurate to say that having Asian genes affects the diagnostic process. Celiac disease is not uncommon in India. We have lots of Indian celiacs who have participated in our forum. It probably is true that the recognition of celiac disease in India by the medical profession happened later than it did in the West but I think it has become just as common in India as it has here.

      Thank you. Constipation is not a big problem, but have irritable bowel issues, more diarrhea. The burning chronic pain in my bladder is unbearable.  I also have increased pressure in my pelvis.

      @Wheatwackedcan you elaborate your systems and after how many years of eating gluten you and your family get dignos with celiac,  did you do endoscopy? What was the state of you small intestines or lining, it casued any major damage is long run? In india dr don't even test for celiac as whaet is part of indian food and we have been eating since birth. Hence I don't trust doctors here.

      @trents i m just confused as his billirubin is high 1.4 and EVB virus detected. Not sure if that's causing his Igg Iga numbers high or hr has celiac.  This whole process made us stress. Not dr is good enough here to get to the conclusion,  definitely i will consult in india, as here medical is very poor,  only cure is good, diagnosis process is pathetic! They should guide is better way, why his billi is high, why EVB VIRUS test detected positive,  how it's different from being Asian and American genes, eating habits and overall.
