Son Now Has Formed Stools!

I wouldn't say that he had diarrhea, but his stools have always varied from pudding-like to peanut butter-like. The last several days he has had increasingly firmer stools. I've actually seen a tangible change in my son now since going at least mostly gluten free. I am hoping to see a naturopathic doctor this week who will actually listen to the words coming out of my mouth as if they have some value. As I write this he is squatting behind me filling his diaper up! lol! We'll see what kind of surprise he has for me since I've been more laxed on the gluten-free diet in the last couple of days. How interesting... I just changed his diaper... There was quite a bit of firm poop, but there was also quite a bit of "slimey" poop. That makes sense, doesn't it? Anyway, just wanted to report that I have seen a difference in my son that makes me feel like I really am on the right track here. Of course I would love to hear about anyone else's experiences with this.

The slime is probably from contamination he is getting. How old is he? Our whole family is now gluten-free to eliminate possible contamination at home. We also have a 4 yr old son who does not have celiac disease.

Good luck!

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      Using a pressure cooker will break down Lectins. Long cooking times as in using a crock pot will also reduce Lectin content. However, having tried both, going lectin free for a few weeks is like a vacation for my digestive system. I do hope you give the AIP diet a try. I understand that changing ones diet takes a lot of mental readjustment...

      Refractory or super sensitive?

      Depending on which source you research sprouting or fermentation can reduce lectins. I sprout rice, buckwheat and quinoa. However, I admit that gas and intestinal inflammation still plague me after 5 1/2 mo gluten-free. I have been resisting but I may try the aip diet at some point.

      Lymph nodes in neck + thyroid issues

      @RMJ@Scott Adams@knitty kitty, Thank you for all of your responses, tips, and suggestions. I'm very grateful that this website exists. It makes me feel a lot less alone in my celiac journey!  The endocrinologist had me do a neck ultrasound just to be safe. Thankfully, thyroid and lymph nodes came back normal. knitty kitty, my Vitamin D is on the higher end of normal, but I will definitely consider the dentist route next time I have my checkup if I'm still noticing issues. Thank you! Scott, thanks for suggesting the ENT. I may consider seeing one if things don't resolve on their own. I am thankfully feeling a bit better now, so hopefully, this is just some sort of residual celiac inflammation like you mentioned, Scott. After all of the numerous tests and clinical visits I've had all year, I'm going to give my body (and wallet) a break for a few months to rest and heal without the stress of doctor appts/labwork and whatnot. Perhaps the health anxiety is also contributing to some of my symptoms.  Thank you once again for sharing your stories.

      How to choose a Naturopath for 6yr old

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @jadeceoliacuk I am a UK based coeliac and I have used a private nutritionist a few times. She is very highly qualified and having just googled her details, she is listed on this website (see link).  For that reason, I think you could trust the listings here as I am quite sure she would not want to associate with this website unless it was a professional, trustworthy resource. https://www.nutritionist-resource.org.uk/ I hope this helps.
