:( I have been diagnosed celiac in last september.

Even if i eat only gluten free meals ,i have been well only for a month.

Since a couple of months i have the diarrhoea 4 or 5 times a day.

Did anyone tried Questran to stop a diarrhoea like this?

Thank you very much for your help.

beauvillier,

By chance, are you still eating dairy products (milk, cheese, butter, etc.)? They are usually gluten-free, but they are often impossible to digest while your intestines are still damaged (because you may have temporary lactose intolerance). You might want to stop eating dairy products for a week or two and see if your diarrhea improves. If it does, there are supplements available that help with lactose intolerance. You could try one of these (but make sure it is gluten-free!) when you eat SMALL amounts of dairy products to see if it solves the problem.

I have not tried the medication you mentioned. In my opinion, it is a better idea to determine WHY the diarrhea is occurring and eliminate the problem than it is to force it to stop by taking a drug!

I hope you discover the cause of your diarrhea soon!

Dr. Fine has stated that some people who continue with diarhea may have microscopic colitis. You might consider contacting him at EnterLab for advice.

      Global Food Gluten Free Certification

      By RMJ · Posted

      That is strange.  Other pages talk about testing. The one thing I like about GFCO is that the handbook for their certification process is available on their website.  I may not agree with the whole process, especially the reduced testing, but at least I can see what the process is. I wish the other certifying organizations would publish their processes. GFCO 2024 manual

      GFCO does not require testing of each lot, so the “periodic laboratory analyses” fits their requirements. They say testing is done by certified bodies.  I’m not sure what that means for an Italian company. The GFCO requirement is less than 10 ppm.  Other gluten-free certifying companies may use other limits.

      Thanks for the info on Nuts.com! Looks like they are certified by GFFP which has a 5ppm limit, which is awesome. I was looking on the GFFP website ( https://glutenfreefoodprogram.com/gluten-free-certification-manufacturing/ ) as I was curious about what their certification requirements are, and stumbled on an odd statement. On a page where they're explaining the benefits of getting a certification through them, it says "No mandatory gluten testing requirements." Ummm, what?! I've included screenshots and a link below to where that information is. I've also emailed GFFP to try and get additional info on what that statement actually means, and what requirements (testing, audits, ingredient tracing) if any manufacturers have to go through to obtain/retain a certification through them. They're endorsed by The National Celiac Association so you'd sure think that GFFP would be requiring 3rd party testing for their certification, but at this point not much would surprise me with these gluten-free certifying companies. https://glutenfreefoodprogram.com/gluten-free-certification-manufacturing/

      I have written to them about sharing details of the lab that does testing for them. That way I can at least know the contamination threshold the lab tests for. For I had written to GFCO in regards to another brand that GFCO told me they do not have the info on the testing threshold for contamination on individual brands. They let the companies set that for themselves. Anyway, I am going to try La Tourangelle and see if that works.
