Day 12- Still Waking Up With D

Hey experts- I'm on day 12 of no gluten and no dairy. I'm feeling a little better mood & energy wise, but I'm still waking up in the morning with either diarrhea of soft stools (light colored). Any tips? Does it take longer than 12 days to start to resolve? The diarrhea during the day is mostly gone, but the mornings are the same. I'm eating mostly whole, gentle foods.

Unfortunately, it takes a while for everything to start working the way nature intended. Hange in there, and maybe add a good gluten free probiotic to your regimen.

Did you switch to whole foods? Or are you eating processed substitutes?

Mostly whole foods: nuts, fruits, veggies, rice, etc. A few substitutes. I did add a probiotic last week too. I'm getting a lot of fiber, obviously, so could that be making the stool soft?

More fiber than you are used to eating will change your bowel movements. If you feel like your moving towards more formed stool, and away from straight diarrhea, then it would seem like you're moving in the right direction. If you still think everything is random, you might want to consider other food issues, but do give yourself a couple weeks to let your body adjust.

Everything is right what others sad, but I will give three other option. They are from my experience.

1. I'm fructose intolerant. My body can't digest some fruits, syrups, juices, or jelly, jam. Fructose intolerance can cause diarrhea, and will cause bloathing, gas, cramps. If you started to eat more friuts, you might be intolerant to some (grapes, apples, pears,...).

2. You can have other intolerances or allergies(eggs, soy, corn,...).

3. I also had SIBO- small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. I was tested for candida and helico-bakteria which was negative. My doctor tested me for SIBO, and I was positive. After two antibiotics everything is perfect now.

All this things can cause diarrhea. If you wouldn't get better after few weeks, try to look for the cause in other places. Sooner you find what is your trigger, sooner you will get better.

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Prior to being diagnosed, I had a gluten heavy diet. I stopped all gluten exactly a week ago and have continued to feel sick in the ways I did prior to going gluten free - primarily on and off nausea, brain fog, and fatigue. Wondering if this is normal and, if so, how long can I expect to feel this way?

      Some of the largest contract manufacturers in the U.S. include companies like NutraScience Labs, Capsugel (part of Lonza), and Thorne Research. These companies produce supplements for a wide range of brands, from small startups to well-known names.

      Thank you for your feed back and knowledge.  Scott do you know the names of the BIG manufactures who produce most supplements?  Love to research them all and decide on their principles and manufacturing certifications who I want to spend my dollars with if they provide other non private label supplements that are good.

      I haven't heard of them before, but a significant portion of dietary supplements are produced by a handful of large contract manufacturers. These companies have the facilities, expertise, and certifications to produce supplements at scale, making them attractive partners for brands that don’t have their own manufacturing capabilities. I doubt Forvia manufactures them directly, so it is hard to know if they are just doing clever marketing to a certain malabsorption crowd, or they actually have unique product.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s an interesting observation! The timing you mention does raise questions about the relationship between modern wheat varieties and the emergence of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS). Norman Borlaug’s work on high-yield, disease-resistant wheat during the Green Revolution significantly increased global food production, but it also led to changes in the composition of wheat, including higher gluten content to improve baking qualities. While NCGS was formally recognized as a condition in the 2010s (https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1741-7015-10-13 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3820047/) , it’s important to note that the awareness and diagnosis of gluten-related disorders have evolved over time. Some researchers suggest that modern wheat breeding practices, along with changes in food processing and gut health, may contribute to the rise in gluten sensitivity. However, the exact mechanisms behind NCGS are still not fully understood, and it remains a debated topic in the scientific community. It’s also worth considering that increased awareness and improved diagnostic tools have played a role in identifying conditions like NCGS that may have existed but were previously unrecognized. The interplay between genetic, environmental, and dietary factors makes this a complex issue, and more research is needed to fully understand the connections.
