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

      Family that thinks “it’s all in your head.”

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      Bonnaz,  IMO it sounds like you have many foolish family members and friends!  There may well be a chance that your mom may have celiac disease.  Keep reminding yourself that Celiac Disease isn't an Allergy that may go away with further exposure!  You may need to consider finding new friends that also have celiac disease.  There are groups that get together in many areas.  They often meet at restaurants that serve Gluten Free Meals.  Good Luck.

      Anyone else have family like this? I’ve been gluten free for a little over a decade now. I was diagnosed as a teenager through a gastroenterologist.  But I still get eye rolls and scoffs when I say I can’t eat certain things. I get compared to other family who have celiac they say “but so and so eats this and they have celiac.” Same with my nut allergies (which has been confirmed by an allergist)  my mother “had” nut allergies growing up and a plethora of other food allergies she tells me I need to eat what I’m allergic to and that it will go away. Even just interacting day to day. It is such a social thing to eat whether it be at work or at home. I feel like my coworkers think I’m being difficult when I don’t indulged.  I have people constantly trying to get me to eat things I know will make me sick. No matter how many times I explain it. Me doing what’s healthy for me seems to bother other people for some reason.

      One other thought: what other blood tests have you had? It might be worth having your iron and haemaglobin levels tested.

      Symptoms…looking for solidarity

      I just want to make sure that you've been eating gluten daily, 2-4 slices of wheat bread, for 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood panel for celiac disease: This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
