I have seen lettuce in the toilet recently. Has anyone else experienced this? What's the deal?

TIA

It is not uncommon, roughage is very hard to digest. If you are new to healing, it may pass through fairly quickly.

Celiacs have the most interesting stool on the planet. Keep reading the message boards, this is not uncommon...

This is all a learning process. To be frank: (who is frank, anyways??, frank, who?)

Sometimes within 12-24 hours, I can see what I ate. (got the drift?)

Sometimes is see what I remember as normal (can't identify)...that's a good thing.

When you see what you consumed, back off of that and go back to the basics, rice, fish, meat, veggies and other simple foods.

When I was sick, it took about 20 minutes for the entire meal to pass, totally undigested. With no villi, my lunch went slip slidding away. :unsure: "Slip-Sliddin-Away"... Great song, I may add. I think it should be our theme song.

What about semi-transparent (usually same color as the yellow stool) things that look like lettuce type leaves, but you haven't eaten lettuce in a while?

Anyone seen that?

I just had to post this morning. Always had a problem with not digesting certain foods (corn, for example), but never lettuce. Until today! Last night's dinner was there--including the lettuce. I have been eating lots of gluten to prepare for the endoscopy, and I swear things are getting worse the more gluten I eat. I can't wait to go off of it again and see what happens to my body!

With celiacs it's not only roughage. It's pretty much everything. The reason is, because your intestines can't actually process the food, because they are damaged. I had that, too, when I wasn't diagnosed yet. It disappeared after a few weeks already on the glutenfree diet. Now I have a real normal stool, unless I get glutened by accident. The only thing that shows up undigested NOW sometimes is salad actually. Not always, though.

Hugs, Stef

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      No, Life Extension contains Benfotiamine and Thiamine Hydrochloride. Objective Nutrients Thiamax contains TTFD. I take both of these and a B Complex.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      I take both Benfotiamine and TTFD. You might want to start with the Benfotiamine for a few days and then add in the TTFD. You can look for NeuroMag (Magnesium Threonate). A magnesium glycinate is fine, too. Doctor's Best is a good brand. Don't take more than 300mg total per day of magnesium or it may have a laxative effect. Be sure...

      Life Extension Benfotiamine with Thiamine has 100MG of Ben and 25 of Thia..... Do you think this is the one I should take or Objective Nutrients Thiamax (TTFD) which has 100MG Thiamine.

How much magnesium should I look for? I take the womens 50+ multivitamin since consumerlabs stated and tested that it has the right amount of vitamins and not too much for men and doesn't have BHT which has shown to cause liver cancer in animals. I was never big with multivitamins as well as doctors I just read when I was first going gluten free to take a multi but I think I will stop them and work on trying the super B Thia and Ben, Mag.

      Hi all I’ve been celiac for 4 years now, I’ve done pretty well to avoid it thus far. Last night I took the wrong pizza out of the freezer and ate the whole lot!! The non gluten and gluten pizza boxes are both very similar.   2 hours later I was throwing up violently on my hands and knees over the loo.  .horrendous stomach pains,  My hair was wet from sweat every part of my body was wet. What an awful experience, just had a bad headache today  fortunately.    Is their any products/pills anyone takes if they have realised they have just been glutened to make the symptoms a little less worse.  thanks
