Is Mucus In Stool A Symptom Of Celiac?

I was told I have IBS and the mucus was a symptom of that. Has anyone actually had this symptom that was diagnosed with celiac?

I wouldn't be the only one to say the term "IBS" is nonsense. It does not in any way explain the cause. Think about it; you asked a doctor because your bowel was irritable...Duh!

Anyway, mucus is normal, and necessary, though in excess I suppose would indicate some sort of problem. In that case my first thought would be to question the stool consistency :unsure: And no, I really don't need you to answer that. But I'd recommend searching the board for what constitutes a normal bowel movement and stool. Google would also be a good place to perform a search.

Thanks, again! :)

I just did a google search on villi and mucosal lining and I was surprised what I got:

The primary damage that celiac disease causes is to the mucosal lining of the small intestine.

I wasn't aware of that and I haven't seen anybody here talk about it, which is why I asked the question in the first place. I didn't know that the villi was sitting on top of the mucus lining either.

My son, who has celiac disease, had mucous in his stools. Since starting the gluten free diet it has disappeared.

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Hi there, I have a few questions about my daughter who is 2 and has been gluten-free for two weeks following her diagnosis please! She was originally diagnosed due to having faecal impaction and chronic constipation. Since starting the gluten-free diet, we are still on daily movicol but she is pooping a lot more than before. Could this finally be her naturally clearing out the backlog as her digestive system is actually starting to work again? Secondly the colour of her stools has recently been a bit pinkish. It does not look like blood, but I wondered if this is normal again for a colour shift post diet change? Finally, she has had a very large tummy due to the coeliac. How long does this take to go down? Thank you!

      Celebrity Cruise for Gluten Free

      By gregoryC · Posted

      Everything I had was included in the cruise fare. The coffee at cafe al baico is not but,  ALL baked goods are! If you want a coffee, latte, or espresso the charge is $4 to $5. Not bad for some excellent coffee! The buffet and spa cafe has free coffee and drinks. Also large selection of the best ice cream, sorbet, and gelato at sea for free!  with Celebrity I don’t feel like I have a handicap.

      I love that there's wheat all over the wall paper for the gluten-free section. It looks good. Was the café included in the free meals or was that extra?
