I have picked up a bottle of "Cleanse More" pills at a nutrition store. They are used for constipation and is suppose to be a natural laxative, made up of all natural ingredients. It is dairy, wheat, gluten, soy, corn, yeast free. Also no animal products, additives, or preservatives. (which is great for all of us on strict diets! :) I have struggled with chronic constipation my whole life (since i was in diapers). I realize now that my biggest problem was that I didn't know I was celiac. These pills seem to be working for me. My bowel movements seem to be more regular. Just wondering if anyone else is taking these or has taken them? Also, I have been told that you cant become dependent on them because it is all natural. I am wondering if this is true. I have had a dependency on laxatives before because of my problems and I don't want to be on anything that is going to make my bowel lazy without it.

If anyone has any info or experience on these pills, let me know please! :)

Chances are good that the diet will help with the constipation. Can you take these on an as needed basis rather than daily? A couple other things that we can be sensitive to that may cause C are dairy and soy. Soy is the big offender for myself. We can be dependant on anything whether it is natural or not. Opium is natural but quite addictive, as one example.

Drink plenty of water and eat plenty of fruits and veggies. If you haven't been much of a F and V eater before diagnosis increase the amount slowly as too much when you haven't been eating a large amount before can cause a bit of gas and for some even D.

I just looked these up on line and they do say on the bottle that they are not for prolonged use. So I would be sure to use them only when you need them.

Yes maybe I will just keep it for when I absolutly need it! and I just cut out dairy and am noticing a big difference.. less gas and bloating, so hopefully that will help. I haven't tried cutting out soy yet though, I may have to

Thanks for the advice :)

Yes, Raven has offered good advise. As you mentioned, laxatives of any sort are not suggested for extended usage.

Limit dairy, add whole grains like brown or wild rice and fresh vegtables and fruit. Quinoa is a great source of fiber and protein and drink lots of water.

      What do my test results mean?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @jmiller93, Some of us are seronegative and don't test positive on tTg IgA tests.  Anemia, diabetes, and Thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives on Celiac panels.  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Iron? Thiamine?  Vitamin B12?  Vitamin D?  Only one Celiac markers is needed to develop the active disease.   I agree a gluten free diet trial is worth a try.

      strange symptoms/ diagnosis accuracy

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @HWB, Have you been checked for SIBO?  Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth will cause constipation and chemically breath.   The best way to get rid of SIBO is to go on a ketogenic/Paleo diet, like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet.  It starves out the carbohydrate loving bacteria and allows good bacteria to repopulate the small intestine.   The SIBO bacteria can communicate with the brain along the gut-brain axis, making you crave carbs, and in return, the SIBO bacteria can mess with your immune system by lowering inflammation and producing endorphins.  So, it's no wonder you feel better eating sugar.   I took high dose (500-1000 mg/day) Benfotiamine (Thiamine) which promotes intestinal healing and helps keep bacterial in check.  Thiamine and Benfotiamine are safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  High doses (500-1000 mg) every day are required to get results.  The body responds differently to high doses.  Got rid of my SIBO like this.  It was tough, but Celiac makes you stronger.

      strange symptoms/ diagnosis accuracy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Try whole milk yogurt.  I eat Stoneyfield vanilla.  Add fruit if you like.  Cultured Pasteurized Organic Whole Milk, Pectin, Vitamin D3. Live Active Cultures S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus, Bifidobacterium BB-12®, L. acidophilus, L. paracasei and L. rhamnosus. Looking at the NO Fat Greek Yogurt, consider that to give the mouth feel of real yogurt ahd Manufacterers of no fat yogurt add various processed ingrediant that many Celiacs have digestive issues with such as gums.  Consider it processed food.  Fat is an important factor in our appestat to tell us we've eaten enough.  Remove fat and we eat more.  Compared to whole milk yogurt Chobani no fat greek yogurt has a cardboard mouth feel. Chobani no fat greek: Cultured Nonfat Milk, Cane Sugar, Black Cherries, Water, Fruit Pectin, Guar Gum, Natural Flavors, Cherry Juice Concentrate, Locust Bean Gum, Lemon Juice Concentrate. 6 Live and Active Cultures: S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus, L. Casei, and L. Rhamnosus Funny that since recommending low fat diets in the 1970's the US population has gone from 15% to 50% obese.

      Nighttime Soiling (5 year old)

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Just had my daughter diagnosed and am currently awaiting blood test results for my son. As well as many bowel issues, mostly loose stools with mucus and lots of gassy moments sometimes leading to leaning stool, he has recently soiled himself in his sleep twice. He has been toilet trained for a long time, but is not waking up with the poo. It’s not just a little, it’s a lot.    We have had to make an appointment re his blood test results next week so will find out if it is coeliac too but I’m just wondering whether anyone else has had this? Ive read online that it could mean he’s constipated, but he poos all the time and it’s often soft, never hard.

      Scientists have discovered a cause of inflammatory bowel disease. They said it's a 'holy grail' discovery that could transform other autoimmune treatments.

      By captaincrab55 · Posted

      I know this isn't an IBS Forum, but it looks like they may have cracked the code on treating it.  They think the new discovery may make it possible to treat other autoimmune diseases.  Even if they develop a treatment I think I would continue eating strict gluten-free, but it may allow me to eat out gluten-free without the fear of being glutened.  That would be especially helpful when traveling.   I hope you find this article as promising as I did.   https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/scientists-have-discovered-a-cause-of-inflammatory-bowel-disease-they-said-it-s-a-holy-grail-discovery-
