This Is So Weird

Sorry if this is gross, but for the past two or three days I am having what I think must be normal "poop".

Like, really solid, fat poop. I think it must be normal! But I am amazed that I don't recognize this!

Sorry, but I just HAD to tell somebody!!!!

uh, congratulations? (trying to think how Beavis would respond)

Is a respectful "golf clap" in order here?

It appears that you have glimpsed the Holy Grail of POOP. Something mosy of us can only dream about. I hope you know we all hate you now :P (KIDDING IN A BIG WAY!)

What's your secret? :huh:

(STill Kidding)

Good for you, keep up the good work? :)

LMAO! Don't worry Spunky! We are quite comfortable with "discussing the quality of poop"! You would be amazed how many threads there are from people who have sheer joy at finally having a normal BM after going gluten free. You have the "I wanted to take a picture of it!" to the "I called the whole family in to take a look at it" to the "I literally did the happy dance!".

Go ahead, celebrate! We all celebrate when someone finally sees the positive effects of the gluten free diet.

Hugs!

Happy dancing in your honor!

It's true, we're all so happy when one of us experiences a normal bowel movement. :lol: Has anyone ever been so elated that they suddenly featured their new poop in their avatar pic? :lol::lol:

After my first normal poop, I came out of that loo singing "It's the real thing". I'm showing my age here, it is an old cocacola song sang by the New Seekers, probably around the 70's. I guess I should've been a little bit more hip and sang "I'm so excited", which I was, so maybe that song the next time.

Only another celiac could understand the need to celebrate the shape form and color of a normal poop! I must have stood over the toilet peering in for 10 minutes the first time it happened. Congrats and although you may be tempted a photo poster in your living room might get a few strange looks. :lol:

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Hello, Target recently changed their branding on the Up & Up Loratadine and no long have it labeled gluten free. I've not been able to find any meds labeled gluten free for allergies. Some lists showed them but the the packaging isn't labeled.  Wondering if anyone knows of or has a list that would be safe for Celiac kiddos.

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.
