Change Bowel Movement Time?

My job recently moved an hour away. Before the move, I would get up at 7:30 am and be at work before 8. I'd then have a BM at about 8:10. But I was already at work so it was ok.

Now, I get up at 6:00am to leave at 6:30. On the way I have to stop and have a BM, usually D. I can't keep doing this. I've only been gluten free for 2 weeks, as I just got diagnosed. Will this change once my system is clear of gluten? Or to I have to do some sort of BM training?

I wish I could help... I'm backup up myself... Wish I had a schedule... I've been doing everything from magnesium, Citrucil, Stool Softners, Sea Salt, even my sons prescription relief... Going to try milk of magnesia today, last resort, ick. Nothing works so far...

I do think things will regulate with time. I've been gluten-free around 6 weeks now & my body is still adjusting. I went through terrible insomnia for 2 weeks, getting 3 & 4 hours sleep per night. It was awful. But, much better now.

Sorry if I was abit to detailed... It's good to be able to talk about this stuff...

What sucks is that everybody is different. My symptoms started in December, and I had the big D for 4 months! My GI dr. said it would go away---but it took forever. Then I went to my primary Dr. who prescribed me Lomitil and Bental to help with the constant D. They helped. I'm finally mostly normal now on month 8 of being gluten-free--however, even after seeing a dietitian, I found I was still being contaminated from time to time. I know almost immediately when I've ingested something with gluten as i get really lethargic and bloated!!! I try not to eat out anymore. It's not worth it.

Good luck with your journey :)

I would suggest getting up earlier. Since you know the time frame when you are going to have to go that can help. It may take some getting used to since you need to go to sleep earlier also but that would be better than risking an 'accident' on your way to work.

It does take some time to heal but hopefully soon you will stop having D. Make sure you are eating a whole unprocessed diet as much as possible and eliminate dairy as well for a bit until you have healed.

You didn't mention if you were eating before or after you got to work. If you're eating before leaving the house, you might want to eat after you arrive instead. For some people, eating food begins the breakdown process really quickly.

Try some Miralax! (it's gluten-free)

I find that I have to go earlier if I get gluten contamination, and when I am really gluten free, I go much later. Also coffee brings it on. If you have coffee in the morning at home, maybe you could try bringing it to work instead. Probably after you settle into gluten free better, things will improve.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By trents · Posted

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.

      I just found out a few days ago that some salt like table salt contains dextrose that’s derived from corn. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of using table salt and just using my own kosher or Himalayan salt, but tbh I’m reluctant to do it. I’ve cut out a lot of things and I don’t really want to cut out anything else that I’m not sure will effect me…in a super small amount that it might be added to salts to stabilize the iodine. I don’t want to be further alienated when I have to go to a restaurant with my friends. Also most of the items at my house that have salt in it canned food etc. are some of the few quick things I can eat- because I’m not the one paying for the food in my household and i can only ask for so much. I’m not in a place financially where I can get a lot of my specialized items- although my family tries their best to get items I Can actually stand. I get I can bring a my own salt with me at a restaurant and ask for no seasoning but it feels like a lot to me- cause I already check for cross contamination and ask if the food has like a high volume of corn in it like cornstarch etc. I’ve also heard most dextrose is not derived from the Zein (corn gluten) portion of it- so it might be safe- but idk if that’s true. I just wanna know if anyone actually responded to it negatively.

      I’m so confused…

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!

      Testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.
