Wow, solid poop would make me want to cry... I had chronic constpiation with diarrhea, so I consider myself lucky when my colon's not impacted... That's great that you're having regular stools though!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but WHAT A NICE LITTLE SONG!!!! LOL...I might start singing that one to myself when appropriate (let's hope it happens at home, rather than at the office!!!).

Hi thanks...I am really pressed for time today, but so glad to have found this forum...I have been having explosive D for about 6 weeks...and getting things checked out of course, but I was aware of Celiacs for years and thought I had it about 5 years ago, but it was my thyroid..I am hypo...but anyhoo, about 2 weeks ago I decided to lay off of the wheat and I am slowly feeling a bit better, I have been having issues with wheat for about 5 years off and on. Usually it plugs me up big time...but then lately I have been like a fountain... :blink:

I am looking forward to chatting and posting and learning from those who have gone before me... :rolleyes:

One thing I found that helps me is high fiber! (not gluten of course). Buckwheat and Rice are wonderful.

Mary, I too was like a fountain every day until I got diagnosed. This is why my muscle and bones are in such bad shape. But knowing that my stomach is calm and my poop is regular makes getting out of bed a little easier. Sometimes when you are bleary eyed from the pain, stiffness, and joint pain, it is the highlight of your day! :P

      Stomach pains etc 2 weeks after start of gluten-free diet

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      JuggaloDad,  A gluten-free diet is a cut and dry fix for some, but it's more complicated for many of us including me.  I suffered from an infant to age 56,  It took almost 10 years for me to zero in on non-gluten foods that caused me GI issues/pain.  Zeroing in on the non-gluten items wasn't as easy as it was for hidden gluten for me.  Dairy, coffee and onions was the easiest, but corn, nuts, strawberries and bananas were the hardest.  I finally did the Everywell test that matches foods with one's blood type.  The test showed I could tolerate cheddar and mozzarella cheese as well as certain nuts.  The test did show the positives and negatives of quite a few other foods as to how they matched my...

      Stomach pains etc 2 weeks after start of gluten-free diet

      By JuggaloDad · Posted

      My daughter has only been eating gluten free for maybe 2weeks and she is still complaining about her stomach pains and I'm under the impression that that is probably long term sign effects that her body is dealing with.... She went months before the diagnosis and well if she is still doin the eating disorder things then I'm sure that is only prolonging recovery on her guts.... She is very withdrawn with This entire process so I can only go off what I see and am aware of.... She at first refused all gluten free food and is now only eating gluten free but not 3 meals at day or anything... dietary doctor said for he to eat in like snack portions ,which she does but i would like to see her eat...

      My 16yr daughter was recently diagnosed

      You could try CBD for her instead of THC, although I don't think it enhances the appetite the way THC does.  With anorexia appetine is everything.  CBD also attaches to the opiod receptors, without the psychotropic effect so it may help with the withdrawal from gluten. There are lots of vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by Celiac Disease the the doctors are often not aware of.  Vitamin D, Thiamine (B1). Also B2, B3, B5, choline and Iodine are very common and it takes larger doses at first to replenish than the minimum RDA.  Deficiency in these slows the healing process because they process glucose for energy and iodine is essential for replacing old and defective cells.  Especially...

      Gluten in Escitalopram??

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Hello @Farmerswife As @trents said talk to your doctor about changing to a different drug.  I I was given a prescription for Zanax, took one dose and could not sit down for four hours.  Twitching all over, and my eyes felt like they were propped open with toothpicks.  Perhaps the old standard, often refered to as "mother's little helper" Valium would help. Celiac Disease causes deficiency of vitamim D.  Low vitamin D causes depression.  Starting at 1,000 IU a day I increased every few days until at 10,000 IU after 3 days it hit me "This is sunshine in a bottle" and I haven't been depressed since.  That ended a depression that had lasted from when I was 39 until 63 years old.  It was like...

      Gluten in Escitalopram??

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Farmerswife! You are correct. Cornstarch should not contain gluten unless there is an issue with "cross contamination" with wheat/barley/rye in the processing. Even then, I can't imagine there being enough gluten in those pills/caplets/capsules to cause a reaction. Is this med in pill form, caplet form or capsule form? If capsule, it is possible that the capsule itself is made from wheat.  Another possibility is that your are "cross reacting" to the cornstarch. Maize is a fairly common cross reactor in the celiac community. But even so, there would likely be little maize (the protein component of corn) in the starch. Still another possibility, and the most likely one I'm...
