im starting to feel a bit better now that I watch what i eat and take all the necessary supplements for GI support, but i still cant seem to go to the bathroom the way I used to. I always need to be at home or in a hotel and by myself and need to just relax at my comp in the morning after i wake up for an hr or 2. If i am in a rush, have an early appt or whatever I wont go all day and usually get horribly bloated by noon. years ago i would be able to jump out of bed, shower & go to work and go to the bathroom like clockwork. this doesnt happen anymore..any idea why? I have been fairly regular lately with the help of some magnesium and yesterday i got up at 5 and had to work a tradeshow all day long & then get on a plane...didnt go until this morning.

I have struggled with constipation problems for years. I find magnesiom helps also.

Upon getting up drink a glass of hot plain water. Some herbs are OK to add but not tea or coffee. I often will use 1/2 or 1 capsule of Cascara sangrada. Try to drink 3 to 5 glasses of water a day.

Add fiber to each meal - I'm using gluten-free oat bran and have used flax seed meal in the past.

I eat lots of prunes and prune juice, often I put about 6 prunes in my meals.

Turmeric and other anti-inflamatory herbs can help relax constricted areas in the gut. Also marshmallow root can improve digestion.

You might cutting down on the fat and oils you are eating. I do better using animal fats - just the amount in the meat or poultry - than vegetable oils.

I'm using Kreger's Candida Formula #2 and Neem leaf capsules for Candida and am improving.

thanks- u should back off on the cascara..its a strong stimulant laxative & can create bowel dependency. I use a product called cleansemore by renew life..one pill per week seems to keep my system in balance.

again my issue isnt necessarily going, its going when i dont have the time to sit around in the morning & wait

i vaguely think there are some yoga poses that can move things along. maybe check around to see if you can find a 5 or 10 minute routine that helps?

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Aussie Celiac · Posted

      Sometimes celiacs can also have other things like lactose intolerance which is fairly common. Also research fodmap foods, it's quite complicated but there are some other foods which can cause digestive issues. For me it's too many onions and garlic.

      You may be reacting to some of the ingredients used to imitate gluten products. I eat Amy's Chilli quite often with no problems. When I eat Bush's chilli beans or Hormel Chilli with the same ingredient list, I get heartburn.  Break out the alka seltzer.   Barillo spaghetti has CORN FLOUR, RICE FLOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES. Udi's White bread Ingredients - water, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, canola oil, dried egg whites, sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, tapioca syrup, sorghum flour, less than 2% of: rice starch, sorghum grain, flaxseed meal,  gum blend (xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum), apple cider vinegar, apple fiber, molasses, salt, amaranth flour, teff flour, yeast, cultured brown rice, locust bean gum, enzymes Chobani Greek Yogurt Cultured nonfat milk, cane sugar, water, natural flavors, fruit pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, vanilla extract, lemon juice concentrate.

      Endoscopy

      By Soleihey · Posted

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.
