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

      celiac disease and braces

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By cristiana · Posted

      It's strange because I'm pretty sure not too long ago I picked up a loaf of bread with B vitamins, but I can't find a single one now.  Probably cutbacks, everyone's trying to save money now!

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Eating grains typically depletes certain B vitamins, so I'm not sure why they decided to fortify with calcium and iron, but hopefully we'll see more B vitamin fortification in gluten-free products going forward.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying it once. It's fortified with Calcium and Iron. https://www.warburtonsglutenfree.com/warbs_products/white-loaf/ The only other gluten-free bread that I've come across that is fortified is Schar with Iodized salt, nothing else.
