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.

      Anyone Else Experiencing These Symptoms?

      By Mantooth · Posted

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still consuming dairy and I think that's what's backing me up. Next week no dairy introduced.

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hello mantooth nice to meet you it's so uncanny what you wrote you sound just like me even the back issues are exactly the same and I'm new here too trying to find out if I have the same had I too have been struggling to find answers with my docters I don't have a diagnosis but I've been struggling like forever and was told ibs and health aniexty was my problem but on researching I've come to the conclusion it's probably more because i cut gluten and lactose out for 6 months and  it was a incredible change for me so although I can't help with diagnosis I can say your not alone in trying  to find answers 😊

      How to keep water down?

      By trents · Posted

      Prolonged dehydration can cause kidney damage. How long has this been going on? Are you have diarrhea also? That's what the dyclomine is for I think.
