Leaky Shwanz

Yes, that "shwanz" :)

Have any other guys had this problem. I have been gluten free for just over a month and it seems that I let out a few drops of pee every now and then, mostly when I exert myself. It's not much but I do notice it. I have never had this problem before so it's kind of a nuisance <_< Anyone know what might be causing it?

Edit: Schwanz is a german term for a part of the male anatomy ^_^

So I agree with everyone else that this is not a gluten or gluten free problem. You may have a urinary tract infection. Sometimes those come without symptoms.

I don't know if your back ever bothers you, but I had a very slight bulging disk in my back that damaged the nerve to my bladder. I would "leak" a bit. What helps for me is to lean forward to insure my bladder is emptied at the end. Although I am a girl and it works a tad bit different. Something to look into maybe if your back hurts, or even if it doesn't.

Dear DM,

My supplement is a probiotic, but it has prebiotics as well. They are beneficial in different ways, and help probiotics do their job better. I take AccuFlora. You can get it at Sam's Wholesale Club. It has no dairy, yeast, gluten, or soy. Still, due to the extreme overgrowth of yeast I have from years of steroids, antibiotics, and birth control, I may need something stronger.

Did you check to make sure the probiotics you were taking had no dairy whatsoever? That could be the trouble. If you are sensitive to casein, the Acidophillus may be derived from yogurt, and making you feel worse. I never thought taking them at night would be best, but I could experiment with that. Thank you for the tip!

You sure said it when you mentioned how people should know how important these good bugs are! L. Salivarius saved my cousin's life. He had the Rota Virus as a teenager, and nearly died. My grandmother read something about probiotics, and we contacted local places to find it. They had to ship it from upstate, but after my cousin got it, he began recovering. I wish I could say the same for his muscles. Due to being so ill from the Rota Virus, he developed Guillon-Barre, a dangerous paralyzing muscle disorder.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      When I was first Dg’d I researched like mad. One thing I remember from then, which may have changed with advancement in medical science, is that Coeliac is a first generation disease which means either you or your husband need be Coeliac for your daughter to have inherited it. Far as I know, and I’m not a scientist just a victim, the amount of gluten (wh...

      Top Brands of Gluten-Free Pasta

      If the arsenic in rice doesn’t bother you then Tinkyada is the best pasta I recommend. I’ve ate it from day 1 after researching what I could and could not eat, along with locating such foods when first Dg’d. Granted, if you close your eyes while munching on rice pasta you may very well come to reality that it is rice no matter the cuisine you have created with ...

      Oats gluten free?

      The body reacts to all grain proteins in all grains from my observation. Call it Gluten, Gliadin, which is what they test for commonly, however, I am Celiac and react with dermatitis herpetiformis to corn and the glutenous protein in it is called Zein. They only test for Gliadin. Testing needs to be updated in my opinion. It only take a small parts per million...

      Oats gluten free?

      Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's true that many grains contain proteins that are technically classified as "glutens" (like zein in corn and orzenin in rice), but it's important to clarify that these proteins are not the same as the gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye, which contains gliadin and glutenin. These specific proteins are the ones...

      Oats gluten free?

      I disagree, Lori. Gluten is a particular protein, not a category of proteins. It is found in wheat, barley and rye. Other cereal grains have proteins that resemble gluten to one degree or another but are not gluten. Gluten is gluten. Avenin is avenin. But yes, it is true, that informally speaking, some have used the term "gluten" to refer to the proteins...

Far as I know, and I’m not a scientist just a victim, the amount of gluten (wheat, rye, or barley) one consumes does not cause a person to contract Coeliac Disease. So if neither of you as her biological parents have Coeliac then your daughter cannot pass any blame should she contract this horrific disease.     It’s humbling, and sometimes I believe GOD allows such as these autoimmune diseases for those who need it most.

They only test for Gliadin. Testing needs to be updated in my opinion. It only take a small parts per million to continuously create systemic inflammation. This is not productive to healing and all grains contain some for gluten like substance. It's called Molecular Mimicry.

      Thank you for sharing your perspective. It's true that many grains contain proteins that are technically classified as "glutens" (like zein in corn and orzenin in rice), but it's important to clarify that these proteins are not the same as the gluten found in wheat, barley, and rye, which contains gliadin and glutenin. These specific proteins are the ones that trigger an autoimmune response in people with celiac disease. For individuals with celiac disease, the primary concern is avoiding gluten from wheat, barley, and rye, as these are the grains scientifically proven to cause damage to the small intestine. While some people with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity may also react to other grains, this is not universal and varies from person to person. For most people with celiac disease, grains like corn and rice are considered safe and are widely recommended as part of a gluten-free diet. That said, you raise an important point about systemic inflammation and individual tolerance. Some people may indeed have sensitivities to other grains or find that eliminating additional grains helps them feel better. However, it’s crucial to differentiate between celiac disease, which requires strict avoidance of wheat, barley, and rye, and other conditions or sensitivities that may involve broader dietary restrictions.

It's like the term "kleenex" has come to refer to all facial tissues.

      In fact ALL grains contain different forms of gluten that go by different names. Corn contains Zein and Rice contains Orzenin. We all need to realize that a very small amount of any of these grains can cause continued systemic inflammation which is not optimal for allowing the body to heal itself.
